What did you brew today?

[Mayor of Simpleton]

Anyone else brewing this fine morning? I’m just starting on a Brewdog Elvis Juice clone - should be tasty!

Sadly not. Planning to brew tomorrow. The inaugural run of the Brewzilla. Will probably make a London Pride-ish bitter if I have the ingredients kicking about. Otherwise it will be a pale ale.

Yep. I started just after midday. Doing a historical (1920s) IPA recipe, but with current hops (Summit and Northern Brewer)

Certainly shall! What’s the thread etiquette around these parts - post the recipe and progress on this one or start a new thread?

No, it's a recipe from either Shut up about Barkley Perkins or Edd's old site, which I've modified to suit my setup over the years. Basically, the sugar / malt proportions are the same as are the target colour and IBU but the hops bear no relation to the original (although the timings do). So, I guess it isn't historical at all.

The Brewday' ended in disaster with a blocked kettle drain and lots of farting about so I'll be amazed if I end up with drinkable beer, let alone decent beer, unfortunately.

 

[The Biochemist]

Sorry to hear that! Fingers crossed it works out ok!

Hi All i

I am brewing Tuesday evening extract 3.0kg LMe 350g brewing sugar 60g Challenger, 15g Styrainia 250g Crystal malt steeped for 30 mins at 65 degrees.

should be OK currently drinking my ordinary bitter hic

 

[samale]

Thinking on doing an American pale this weekend coming. I am looking to use Sabro and mosaic. My question is to what ratio will I go with the hops
The grain bill will straight forward enough. Extra pale, Vienna and and wheat malt, Pia yeast from CML
Any advice is welcome, my IPA/ pale ales seem to lack hop aroma. My equipment is basic so no pressure fermenter

100 g mosaic in dry hop should help with that.

Tropical pale today. Golden promise, carapils, flaked oats. Mosaic bbc, citra and equanot Lupo hops.
London fog.

How much hops did you use

 

[Braufather]

How much hops did you use

5G magnum at 60. Then 35g mosaic at 10. Currently doing a hop stand of 50g each of citra and equanot lupomax hops at 75c for 20 mins. I will dry hop with same dose as hop stand.

this gets good flavour and aroma. However Aroma only lasts for a week or two though. Still working on longevity on that

Why repeat your first one? See how far you’ve come in comparison!

I stoped counting at about 60 I think but must be about 90 now.
