What did you brew today?

[Brewnaldo]

Really good yeast mine went to about 1006.

Thanks. I'm hoping for a Saison that isn't 2 or 3 and yer puggled for in the summer time. I might actually do what was being discussed in another thread and use some glucoamylase in order to avoid bottle eruptions when opening. Or would using a bottling yeast work I wonder....

A rare daytime brewday. Witbier is being brewed today. Whilst watching the Hammers..

Good start , hit the pre boil gravity of 1.043. Didn't want any brewday extending stuck sparges with the high percentage of wheat and oat malt so did a batch sparge brew in a big in the fermzilla for a change.

That’s 20 litres of Coopers English Bitter.

The FG came in at 1.014 so I only added 10g of sugar to each keg and I will let it stay at 22*C for about three days to build a bit of pressurebefore cold crashing for a week.

The 2nd photo is what SWMBO has just brought out to me! Mixed fruit & Mackies Ice Cream!

Love Mackies!

Continuing my renaissance, put a toucan Pilsner kit on yesterday. As I was about to pitch noticed it was only 6g of yeast so subbed for a MJ california lager yeast and set to 19c. Also when going for hydrometer remembered that I bought that Pil thing. It is great - scran shot to follow - you can see that holding temp plus or minus less than 1 degree and gravity reducing rapidly.

Bottled Forever Amber, my American amber ale. Pretty clear at bottling, I have high hopes for this.

 

[moto748]

Today I racked the batch of stout that I managed to leave the lid off overnight after pitching , but as far as I can tell from a quick taste, it doesn't look like any harm has been done.

 

[Red Raven Brewery]

Just put into the fermenter an attempt at a festbier.
I'm terrible at remember to take pictures but here are a few at least from the mash

Gravity readings are a little up in the air at the moment (hydro saying 1.046 & iSpindel saying 1.064 ) but I'm sure it'll be fine.

A pale ale with:
Magnum for bittering and Nelson Sauvin/Fuggles at flameout

Edit: 1040 OG

 

[moto748]

Today for the first time I'm re-using some yeast. Just a small batch of Flakey Bitter to see how it goes. I usually bitter it with Magnum, but none in the cupboard. Head for hop substitution charts... and they suggest Columbus. Not the first thing that sprang to mind for an English bitter, but it's *only* for bittering. I could have used that Admiral that's taking up space in my freezer, but decided in the end I would go with the Columbus. Scaled it down a bit for the high AA value, but ATEOTD I was only putting 6 g in! Plus some late Fuggles to bring the estimated IBU to 37, which seems reasonable.

Today I brewed a Cascade and Citra pale ale, after a quick pick up from my LHBS yesterday.

18L BIAB no sparge
total water 24L
OG 1.054
FG 1.012
IBU 44
EBC 14.8

4.2 kg Extra Pale MO
350gm Caramalt
85gm Dark Crystal

15gm Cascade 60 mins
10gm Cascade 15 mins
10gm Citra 10 mins
45gm Cascade 80c hopstand
25gm Citra 80c hopstand

30gm Cascade dry hop
20gm Citra dry hop

Safale US-05

OG on the money, volume a little up. Pitched at 19c and in the fridge.
Had a busy day as I also kegged my latest user upper a Strong bitter with Admiral/EKG, then got everything cleaned up.
Time to sit down with a drink !

 

[NormanHurst]

Bottled my Cashmere Single Hop pale ale. Really promising. I've not (knowingly) had a Cashmere beer before. Nice orange and tropical aromas but quite restrained. Definitely not a juicy um bongo number.

 

[Clint]

I've got LOTS to do on my 4 off including a brew day so I've prepped everything for an early start tomorrow.
Water treated,malt weighed,equipment clean and ready.
I'll be brewing a spiced citra SAISON!

 

[Clint]

Spiced citra SAISON today...water on!

Are you still working 4 of 4 on Clint. We moved shift a couple of years back. 2days on 2days off, 3 days on 3days off, 3 nights on 3 days of, 2 day's on 2 off. Then the killer 4 nights on

 

[Clint]

Yeah still on the 4/4. Those shifts sound dreadful...
House is paid in a few months have to do some serious thinking ...

 

[Clint]

All done! Four points down on OG but just over a litre extra to fv still giving me over 73% bhe so happy with that. I think I'll gain the lost points back in the final gravity with yeast attenuation...but at around 6% as if I'll notice!

 

[MrRook]

Cascadian dark ale. Mini-mash.

 

[obscure]

A Bramling Cross and Pilsner Smash not particularly complicated 2KG of Pilsner mashed for 60 minutes then a 60 minute boil with 20g of Bramling Cross at 60 minutes and 30g at 5, with 11L in the fermentor at 1.042.

Original plan was to ferment this with CML Midlands (Nottingham) but after seeing the forecast I have opted instead for Voss. Fermentor is insulated with a couple of towels and a heat mat and now happily bubbling away at 35°C.
