What did you brew today?

[samale]

I brewed a kveik apa today. Mainly crafty malsters pale malt with 12% flaked malted oats.
Citra and Moutere in the kettle , and will get a Citra, Moutere and Vic Secret dry hop.
Pitched CML kveik at 30C and it's off and running after 3 hours

Sounds good I just dropped 150g dry hop into my hazy IPA. El Dorado Amarillo azacca. Colour looks spot on

Great sounding hop combo

I used London fog and was surprised I got really good attenuation. 84%.

I had to Google montere. I thought it was a spelling mistake
How'd I miss them, let me know how it turns out

I tasted a homebrewed elderflower IPA a couple of years ago and it was fantastic, it's on my list to make an elderflower beer but I haven't got round to it. It sounds great in a saison actually.

Out of the boil (I steeped the elderflower) there was a very strong aroma which has diminished during fermentation. The wort was also very clear post boil, the elderflower seems to really attract the trub.

My first time using them - didn't smell as pungent as the citra out of the bag

Brewing Hughes' Winter Warmer. Using BIAB method and using a hopbag I got from Aldi for 20p. Smells amazing. Just waiting to add a jar of honey and the final hops.

Looks like a sloth!

... or maybe a honey badger?

 

[DavidDetroit]

Yes, David. I'm sure I did everything right as I am meticulous in getting every drop of the extract out of the bag or tin, which ever it is, and always give the wort a serious stir and mix.

Sorry about the late acknowledgement that I read your post (I didn't look at this thread again until ten minutes ago).
So, I was curious what your final gravity turned out to be?
Cheers.

I didn't get that it was a pile of grain at first. I'm not going to say what I thought it was.

 

[Clint]

Please say...

Please say...

Fine, it wasn't naughty, though, just utterly off of what it really was. In my defense, I had my glasses on which don't work up close.
You ready for "anti-climactic"?
Some sort of weird bread (that brown on the right, I thought was browned crust), couldn't make out what the black circles were except maybe mold and then I thought it was a section of carpet or an object covered in carpet.

 

[Clint]

Ah! What Mrs Clint would call a "thing"...

Whatever it is it's seen some things...

I just checked on my Chocolate Milkshake Stout when adding the chocolate infusion and vanilla pods. SG is high at 1.024 but really rich and sweet as I wanted. I have high hopes for this one.

All done,chilled to 30,just dropping the wort to fv. Temp adjust gives me 1.044..bang on!

Hilarious!

After actually looking at the weather forecast earlier this week, decided to take my first steps with Kveik today to brew a (hopefully!) inoffensive summer golden ale. I need to dial in my boil losses, as I overshot my preboil gravity by 6 points (1.046) but only overshot my OG by 1 point (1.050) and ended up with 2 or so more litres in the FV (which is, of course, no bad thing).

Wanted to keep this simple with just a FWH charge to 20 IBU so as to explore what the yeast has to offer with no temperature control over the hot weekend ahead...
