Yesterday I made up a **** Dastardly Dunkel Hefeweizen full extract kit from the Homebrew Company. Had an OG = 1.042. It’s bubbling away up in our Hot Press.

This morning, giving the yeast a free rein for the first 3 days, hence the cling wrap. A great sight to see the yeast has taken off.

Well I did the Vienna. Quite dark in colour, but not surprising considering the amount of crystal, and as the colour of crystal always seems to be a bit of a moveable feast....I was slightly low on that anyway, and topped it off with a lirrle Caramunich I had in the cupboard. BHE a rather disappointing 62%, but I did leave a fair amount of wort behind, in the interests of minimal sediment and max clarity. But nice and clear at pitching, and a pleasant amber-ish colour too, with an OG fractionally down on target @ 1049.

First of 3 brews for Brewcon in October..brew 1 is a Saison

Checked gravity on my latest Pilsener today. It's first time using a true lager yeast , Lalbrew Diamond.
It has reached predicted 1.010 after 12 days fermenting at 12c.
Sample nice and clear though still plenty of yeast in suspension, tasted very promising.

Would like to hear peoples thoughts on how to go from here ?
My thought was to rack to a clean FV and leave to lager at 2c for another couple of weeks before kegging
and subsequent conditioning at same temperature.
Or leave as is skipping another FV, though I usually transfer of yeast cake before cold crash and kegging as
I find it results in brighter beer.

Mashing in a Vienna lager. I just went with I had opened

2kg Vienna
1.5kg light Munich
1kg pilsner
200g melanoiden malt
50g carafa 3

Hops I haven't got that far yet. Yeast is CML hell

Mild, one of my favourite beers, and my first time at trying to do a full 23L batch, recipe wise I am using the Greg Hughes recipe although subbing the Mild malt with Vienna and upping the grain bill a tad to compensate for my lowish efficiency. Yeast wise the plan is to use Voss not sure how this is going to turn out as previous batches I used London III but with the high temperatures forecast for next week I reckon it is a lower risk than using a more conventional yeast but will just have to wait and see.

Did you do a diacetyl rest mate, I'm no expert on lagers but I usually bring my temp up to 18c for a few days before cold crashing, lagering in bottle.

Not as yet, finished and still sitting at 12c.
Sample didn't have any taste of diacetyl but a rest at 18c sounds a good idea to be on safe side - cheers mate !

Ordinary bitter 1,038 OG, 22 litres.

Clear wort in, clear beer out.

Well brew day yesterday went a little too well with my mild coming in at 1.039 instead of 1.036 suppose I will live with it but annoying as I really want a sub 4% beer, ah well.

Can't you just chuck half a litre of so of water in it?

 

[moto748]

I racked off my Vienna, gravity was 1010, don't imagine it will drop much lower (and I didn't expect it to drop this far), so will be coming in around the 5.1% ABV mark I think.
