What did you brew today?

[samale]

20 is normally Speedo weather here but it was hitting 30

 

[dave_77]

Hmmmm..could be that if it was that temp for both. Especially if they were starting over 20c too.

It's got around 10 days to sort itself out
I need the keg

Well it looks the part it sort itself out.
Amber finished a couple of points short for 1.052..prefer to be under as i usually get higher attenuation.

Only time for a quick kit tweak up, brewferm Belgian dubbel plus 1/4 lb oats, 1/4 lb wheat + 1 lb dark DME, small brew 10 litres off like a rocket, m47 yeast as it was an old kit. Made this before without the oats and was good after 6mths, great after 9!

I'm having a go at Tanglefoot's ESB#2. it looks simple enough; what could possibly go wrong? First use of my shiny new bag of malt from local brewery. It's not MO, though, just Best Pale, that's what they use.

Hi Moto which brewery is it

Tanglefoot ESB looking good! FG came in at a whacking 1060, so I had to dilute, added 1.5 litres of water. So unusually high efficiency for me by the look of it. I have never had a beer so clear in the hydrometer jar before, though. Following a suggestion I read here yesterday, I kept Protofloc back to -5 minutes, rather than -10. So whether that has anything to do with it, I don't know.

Re-calculating, efficiency hits the dizzy height of 73%, probably a record for me!

I've been thinking abut 'pseudo-lagers' again, as I have no cooling facilities. I'm having a go at a Kolsch, recipe courtesy of poster @Ahdinko. I'm going to use K-97 yeast. It says on the packet, temp range 12-25 deg, ideally 15-20 deg. So that seems pretty tolerant.

I’ve been using M54 Californian lager yeast, all have turned out pretty good

It is an ESB after all

Glad the brewing gods are smiling on you !

Looks good to me. I'll definitely be doing Weyermann's recipe again in my next run of lagers.

Great colour on the wort. Not sure if I will keg or bottle this.

Hi all. A kind member on this forum gave me 5 demijohns last week so I thought I'd try a few experiments.
2 of them are looking good. The pineapple addition to turbo cider, well, here it is.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Yesterday I brewed 21 litres of Andromeda IPA.
5000g MO
450g Vienna
450g Wheat malt
Galaxy and Citra
CML Five
OG 1060

The kolsch I brewed a while back has been sitting in its bucket under a krausen for what seems (to me, although perhaps not you guys) to be forever. That is, ten days. So I thought I'd have a look today, and sure enough, the krausen was by now only paper-thin. Pushed it aside with a spatula, and all looked good underneath, and gravity had fallen to around 1011. So I transferred it into demi-johns to let it settle for a few days (and hopefully clear a little further) before bottling.

19L of saison today with mj m29 French saison yeast. Not done one before and I'm a bit hesitant about it sitting at 26C in the fermenter but we will see!

Today was my first attempt at all grain using the shiny new klarstein fullhorn that my wife gave me for my birthday.

So I learnt that when it goes ping on first reaching boiling, I need to remove the lid & start stirring, even when my volume is well below the full mark.
It's so much faster to boil than stove top partial mash in a stock pot.

Finished boil around 2pm & still waiting for wort to cool enough to pitch the yeast.

[/QUOTE wait until you get it this full, I don’t leave the lid on while I wait
