What did you brew today?

[kimosabby]

Always good the break the cherry

 

[LesTom]

Decided to try and brew an experimental cream ale, here's the recipe

 

[Rodcx500z]

Just mashed in a golden ale hop user upper while I wait for fresh supplie’s, think I left the metal top bit of overflow pipe in the kettle

 

[Rodcx500z]

Had a good brew day today hit all the numbers 20L and 1042 og

Another brew on today, traditional bitter using up the last of my hops, challenger and target and 10g of sazz, I love this brewzilla it makes brewing joyful

 

[Cheshire Cat]

22L of a Jail ale clone

4200g Pale planet malt
200g Torrefied wheat
350g Crystal 45L
50g Chocolate malt
35g Challenger @60m
25g Fuggles 15m hopstand @ 90C (due to burco tripping out after 45m boil.)
Wilco Gervin yeast
OG 1051 BHE 74%.

 

[Alastair70]

Irish Red V2. First brew milling my own grain, efficiency was down to 70%. Should I drop the gap on the rollers a bit?

 

[samale]

American Amber

4.5kg Minch malt
500g light Munich
400g dark crystal
200g Cara Munich 2

20g centennial@30mins
30g centennial & 20g bru-1 @flameout

Dry hop 50g centennial & 30g bru-1

Yeast: Pia

Sample cooling, I resisted the urge to add special B. Maybe next time, I planned to add some chocolate malt at mash out for colour but I was happy with the colour already

Well I am doing a slightly modified kit today:

Youngs Harvest Mild Kit (1.5KG)

Mild Malt: 1500g
Dark Crystal: 250g
Chocolate Malt: 50g

Grain was mashed at 67°C for an hour then boiled for 60 minutes, then mixed with the malt extract kit up to 23L. Yeast wise I opted for CML Beoir.

OG: 1.033
FG (expected):1.009
Predicted ABV: 3.2%

Overall things went to plan although the downside of using grain is of course that efficiency may not be as expected but still only a couple of points out and I am primarily going for a session Mild so I’m not overly bothered.

 

[Hanglow]

First brew on in ages. Went with a pale ale.

60% chevalier
33% barke pils
7% light crystal

1.048
Us05 , forgot to order live yeast last week. Wanted to use wlp007
Step mash for attenuation

Admiral and eldorado hops to about 50ibu. Got good clarity prior to transferring it to the fermentor

 

[Rodcx500z]

Just mashed in with my attempt at exmoor gold pale ale malt hops are challenger ekg and bobek

 

[MickDundee]

I’m off work today to recover from a weekend away (it was a fairly tame trip to Glasgow to watch the Strongman competition, a couple of drinks afterwards and an overnight stay) so it’s my first brew day for a while, and prefect timing because I emptied my keg of wit on Friday night.

I’ve gone for an “old school” APA in homage to SNPA and Anchor Liberty.

5kg MO
250g Crystal

20g cascade 60min
20g cascade 30mins
20g cascade 20mins
20g cascade 10mins
20g cascade flameout

I don’t have any Liberty Bell or any of the main Chico strains so I’ve gone for CML Pia.

It’s also the second brew using my new GF grain mill. Someone on here (can’t remember who) told me to try changing the crush setting to 7 so I’ll see what difference it makes to my efficiency.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Pre boil bang on 1040

 

[Rodcx500z]

Brew done some pics bottom of kettle and what went in the fv

 

[Rodcx500z]

Forgot og 1050.277 that’s 4 points over I can live with that 80% mash efficiency

 

[moto748]

I emptied my keg of wit on Friday night.

What you need now is a barrel of laughs!

 

[alefric LeHendz]

Just took a hydrometer reading on mine and @Hoppopotamus attempt at a Quad/BDS. 1.020, roughly terminal gravity according to brewfather, not bad in 3 weeks! Puts the current ABV at 15.4%

 

[Cheshire Cat]
