I use BIAB so no problem with that. Rye does absorb alot of liquid.

O

The high percentage of rye has had an effective on the og. 1.042

h dear. That amount of rye will finish high as well. 1kg of sugar to the rescue ?

Bottled/mini kegged my Cascade pale ale after three weeks in the fermenter.
Not very clear but tasted good.

 

[Jim Brewster]

Brew 47, unusually a Tuesday morning brewday.. did a Citra and Cascade pale ale, 30 minute boil with 50/50 Citra/Cascade all added at flameout. Pale malt, crystal and oats.

During the mash I also bottled the previous batch, a dry hopped Chinook-Cascade pale and kept the trub plus dry hop sediment to use as a starter.

Pitched onto the old yeast and dry hops.. Fermenting away with an hour or two, smells amazing with the old dry hops in the primary fermentation. Then went to work

Brew 04/22 is 23 litres of MYO Rosé Wine!

I don’t expect a prize-winning result, but a French pal is coming to visit in June so here’s hoping on quality!
:hat:

Brewed another Saison, made some adjustments after getting feedback from the LAB competition

3kg pilsner
500g Vienna
500g wheat
300g sugar @10mins

Short 30 min boil
20g Nelson sauvin@10mins
30g Nelson sauvin@flameout

Using wyeast french saison 3711, I mashed low. I will ferment at 24 to get more yeast character in the beer. I might do a small dry hop depending how the sample tastes as at the end
OG 1.050

Todays's plan was to bottle my Big Bold IPA (recipe courtesy @Nick90). However, I can hear an occasional 'plink' from the corner of the room, so there is still some air-lock activity. Gravity is still hanging around 1013. I don't generally find fermentation still continuing in my beers at this point. This has been 11 days (5 in bucket, 6 in demi-johns) of fermentation, but I reckon I ought to leave it at least another couple of days before bottling.

More generally, I have (as I imagine most of you guys have) a few 'trusted favourites' recipe that can be relied on. I really should stick to those 80% of the time. It's fun to try new things, but even if they are successful, the style may not be that appealing. With that in mind, my next brew will probably be another Grey Sheep, and the schwartzbier I was planning can wait till later.

First Brew for the past 6 months ! As I’ve been fitting a new kitchen myself in-between working. So a hazy Marmalade ipa, OG 1.063 and usually finishes @1.008-9 using MJ M44 yeast and Dry hopping with El Dorado and Citra

 

[obscure]

Auora/Saaz Saison

I’ve used this combination often and it seems to work for my taste, grain bill (for 11L) is 2KG of Pilsner and .1 KG Carapils, and a little honey all being well should come in at about 1.045 and ferment down to about 1.003/1.004 or so using CML Wallonia.

And I was as good as my word and made another batch of Grey Sheep yesterday, which seems to be going fine.

What's Grey Sheep? Have you put this recipe on your brewday thread?
