Snap! Found a tin of muntons lme and a pouch of MJ lme lurking just inside bbe date. Put together and 23l of Chinook/cascade American pale? Erm Red ale. Not sure why lme darkens as it ages. Must admit using extract makes a quick brew day. Using cml atlantic.

Pinter small batch experiment

Just brewed a 6ltr batch of an all grain DIPA. With Galaxy , mosaic & Nectaron . Used the WHC mango madness yeast & 15gm mix of these hops chucked in as a dry hop addition. Looking for an abv of 7.5 % ?? If it works will share recipe if it fails will share experience. If there is an explosion & clean up will share pictures Malt Miller were my inspiration.

I'm doing a double batch - side by side.

23L Munich helles in the grainfather, and 5L of @Twostage 's "Louie" as a test batch in my 5L stovetop setup.
The stovetop setup is a pressure cooker that has a sous vide mode which is ideal for mashing, then boil in the 5L saucepan and chill overnight.

Yesterday, I brewed an Altbeir. It looked and smelled amazing going into the fermenter and I look forward to having 40 bottles of the lovely stuff to sample with friends and family during the dark nights of winter. Prost!

I will dry hop with 25g ea of the 3 hops after 4 days in the primary and leave for 3 or 4 days.

Made up another bulldog American DIPA today but I'm adding to it.
Made it up to 24L instead of 23L.

I added both hop packs (25g each of Simcoe and Summit after adding the hot water to the mix. Gave it a good stir and then when topping up with water I added 300g of oats and 250g of lactose powder.

Took a reading at 20°c and it was 1.080 which is quite a bit more than the last time I did it when it was 1.060 (and came in at 7.1% as it should have)

I'll be throwing 100g of El Dorado hops in when it's closer to being bottled.

See how it ends up

A 19ltr use-em-up brew to do an open/closed fermentation test - see the fermentation vessel geometry thread.

Brewed a Kolsch yesterday, all went to plan and it certainly looked good when it went into the fermenter. Forgot to charge my iSpindel though so am flying blind on progress, will check up on it later to make sure it's started but am sure it'll be fine and I'm planning on leaving it a couple of weeks anyway.

 

[NotSure]

Brewed a Cream Ale today. 5kg Lager Malt, 1kg Flaked Maize, 20g of Northern Brewer at 30 minutes, and US-05. Mashed at around 65°C. Ended-up with 24 litres at an OG of 1.056. Will ferment at around 17°C.
