What did you brew today?

[NormanHurst]

Mashing a dry stout largely based in the Greg Hughes recipe. Lovely aromas when doughing in. Going to be a long evening but this was the only chance to get a brew in this week and don't like leaving the fermentation fridge empty for too long.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

20 litres of Verdant IPA

Is that using the new Verdant yeast? My GEB order is arriving between 18:09 and 19:09 with a sachet in there!

 

[Fuzzy Growler]

Just brewed the mj Australian pale ale and swapped the yeast for a Kveik yeast, just for experimental purposes.

Yes it is and started quickly

I’ve just discovered I have the chance of an impromptu brew day because my wife is going to our neighbour’s for drinks. Torn between getting this yeast tested and getting either a Munich Helles or Sorachi lager on.

My stocks are still high so I’m probably best to make one of the lagers as it’ll take longer, but I have an empty corny and I’m really excited to try this yeast!

Bottling day for my sorachi/flyer saion

 

[dad_of_jon]

A winter ale 'limited edition from wilko'. Only issue was it only gave 16 litres at 4.8%.... A bit of DOJ magic and 17.5 litres starting at....

4.8% my RRR's - thats not a 'winter ale' more like a lawnmover beer

should be in the mid 7's

[samale]

Jesus someone might of said T58 is a violent *******. I woke up to nearly 2 litres of beer over my bedroom floor. The wife is not impressed at all.

To make matters worse apparently I used the good towels to clean it up. I didn't even know we had good towels

It's still trying to get out.
Not a great start to the morning

 

[Benfleet Brewery]

Going for a Chimay White clone today. I’ve never used as much as 20% Torrified wheat before. Blimey, this takes some stirring!

Thought my Kveik Ozzy pale was violent I can relate to the good towel bad towel scenario

 

[Rodcx500z]

Kettles on, didn,t have enough base malt for my intended brew so its a mish mash, pale malt 3.5kg topped off with crystal 120, munich, melanoidin, and special w hops are target ekg and challenger should be a decent brew

 

[Druss]

I'm doing another experimental one today, I think it's close enough to a stout to reliably say that's what it is, specifically a 'chocolate coffee oatmeal stout'.

600g Pale malt
200g flaked oats
100g chocolate malt
100g light crystal malt

Mashing at 66C for an hour (been getting too much in the way of unfermentables with the last few mashing at 70C, the temp doesn't seem to drop much in the current climate).

12g East Kent Goldings @ 60 mins

A tablespoon each of roast ground coffee and cocoa powder @ 10 minutes

I'm using Youngs beer & wine yeast for this one, I've had good results with it in the past but using it in an AG brew is a bit of a leap into the unknown for me. Hopefully this will work...

[Fuzzy Growler]

Mangrove jacks lemon sour gose just hit the fermenter, hope this is going to be good and not too sour if it is too sour the wife will love it so wouldn't be a waste

A really nice, garden brew day today here in Essex. A bit of a "use up APA" to clear out my hop freezer drawer.

Looking forward to the days were I can have a set up like that and brew all grain

Very silly question, but does your tap twist back down easy enough with a full FV? I've got the same but am too nervous to twist it round in case of a leak, so have mounted it on blocks!

Yeah I've twisted mine back and forth quite a few times and all good apparently there's no silly questions in home-brewing (so I've been told)
