What did you brew today?

[Manxnorton]

On the way to finish a 10l experimental milk stout.
The delivery was late....
No probs so far with the GF (small piping) beutiful smell :-)

I have the day off work to do some of the jobs around the house I've struggled to fit in. Of course I can fit a brew day in too!

Fool's Gold English Ale

It's a fairly simple one:
4.25kg MO

10g each of EKG and Fuggles at the start of the boil
10g each of EKG, Fuggles and Cascade for the last 10 mins of boil
10g each of EKG and Cascade at flameout.

Ferment with S-04, which I've never used before because I've only ever done American and Belgian beers

Should be a nice sessionable (4.2%) summer Ale.

Just knocked out a 5 litre batch of extract bitter with 1/2 pack of ESB yeast.
Wasn't over keen on my last attempts with the ESB,but have more of it to use up!.
Will be doing a Fullers AK (BIAB) brew next with the other 1/2 pack. Will see how those two fare with the yeast!

 

[chub1]

Just put a 'Trashy Blonde' jiggled with clone into the FV:thumb:

Had an a second :lol:early tester whilst getting a brew on today and it's turned out really very nice.Well done DIY DOG:thumb:,more recipies to go on me thinks:)

Target gravity 1.042, and I can't quite tell whether it's reading 1.041 or 1.042 so it's pretty much spot on!

Brew night!!
Brewed the Tropic Thunder Clone that was bouncing around on here from the original brewer.
So far so good. Just chilling now ready to pitch.

Could never find the original but like the sound of it. I hope it turns out good.

 

[JFB]

Just added the yeast to a NZ pale ale, hopefully it will be ready for the HBF SMaSH comp..

Have put two jars of the Lidl sour cherries in the freezer and tomorrow I'm going to rack some of my wheat beer onto them. It's about 700g of cherries, how much do people reckon I should rack onto them? I've got 22 litres and the rest will be bottled straight, it's stable at 1.010 and tasting great.

In that case, none.

I know what you mean. But in the end I racked a demijohn each of cherries and strawberries, each 700g. I still got 28 bottles of the real thing! When cleaning out my FV I was blown away by the banana aroma left behind. Really hope I harness that in the beer.

5kg Pilsner and 300g each of Biscuit and Caramalt.

Admiral 16g @ 60m
Saaz 20g @ 15m
Saaz 47g @ 0m

600g Golden Syrup
MJ31 yeast, re-used from the Dubbel

As the yeast was much and only separated yesterday from the first brew, it has kicked off already.

 

[EdinBrewer]

This was yesterdays BIAB. Was going for a Ruby Mild (from Home Brew Beer - Greg Hughes)

2.5kg pale malt
75g chocolate malt
75g crystal malt
60g torrified wheat malt

Danstar Nottingham (re-hydrated)

Golding 17g @ 60 min
Golding 8g @ 0 min

A little worried I did something wrong when re-hydrating the yeast as it was pitched yesterday at 16:00 and it doesn't look like it's got going yet.

 

[Linalmeemow]

Westvleteren Blonde / generic patersbier kind of thing. First try with my brewfridge setup (the Inkbird ITC-308 is an amazing tool), first try with liquid yeast (WLP530). Super smooth and relaxed brewday, fermentation appears to be under way 20 hours after pitching. Planning to harvest the yeast at the end and make a Duvel-esque strong golden ale next...

 

[AlanManley]

Today is a triple brew!
One mash 3 boils and 3 fermentations.

Boil 1 - Armadillo (Hops courtesy of @Dads_ale).

Boil 2 - Mosaic.

Boil 3 Vic's Secret.

Looking forward to seeing the different attributes.

Hopefully all will make an appearance in the May comp.

Wilko wheat beer.

500g sugar
500g brown sugar
some curacao bitter dried orange peel
some coriander seeds

Og 1.034

11 days on - no further sign of activity. Took a reading of 1.008

about 3.4% abv? Probably ready-ish. Will re-read on Weds night.

Tasted the sample. Dry. Surprisingly subtle orange. Definite coriander hint.

Wish I'd hoyed in a bag of light DME, though. :-(

Ice-cold, fizzy......might be ok.

 

[Clint]

Sounds OK. ..a nice session beer. I got one you for next...gonna try a partial wheat mash with it and maybe either saaz or mandarina bavaria.

 

[Gerryjo]

That lucky 7 seems interesting, keep us updated on how it turns out !!!

Finally got around to the fermenter today with this one.OG was 1.048 with 25 litres all into a fermenter with a blow off tube fitted as there is only about 4" headspace.
Pitched at 17 degrees with Crossmyloof Belgian yeast and placed into trug with water at 22 and heater set for 20.Internal and external temps should cancel each other out.So nshall wait and see how this turns out:whistle:
