roll up roll up,

For you delectation and amusement I have brewed a hybrid beer. 200g+ of hops will have been used by the time the brew is ready to bottle.

If you like the sound of the brew guess the OG & FG of the beer and the closest to the figures gets a free beer delivered anywhere in the UK Mainland & Eire.

good luck!

1kg light dme
1kg dried wheat extract.
450g golden syrup
500g clear candi sugar

Boiled for 15 mins in 6 litres water

100g moteka 20 mins boils in 2 litres of water
topped up in fv to 21.5 litres

Yeast used MJ american west coast.

A Refreshing hoppy APA hybrid is the plan

UK Mainland and Eire? Leaves me out then!!:lol:

 

[JapanBrew]

Does Japan fit somewhere between those boundaries? Hahaha

Need more info. Mash temp mainly. It's low sugar and grain for the amount of liquid so, without mash temp I can guess 1.041 and 1.013

no grain - all extract!

And northern island - didn't mean to leave N.I. out

the coast road is awesome! :-) and a lot of stuff was painted pink - I think that was something to do with cycling!

I'm going with 1064 -1010, being in The People's Democratic Republic of Harringay I should be ok. Nice comp dad.

 

[Dads_Ale]

1052 and 1010

 

[dad_of_jon]

was a bit slower to start than usual but krausen hit 26 litres in fv - it's now dropped and a rush of bubbles through airlock every 8 secs or so.

not likely to be bottling before 30th Jan so you have a bit of time to get your guesses in :)

 

[IainM]

I guess 1.050 and 1.011

 

[Sonnal]

I'm going to go for a wild stab in the dark of 1048 - 1012.

 

[cheapbrew]

1042 - 1010

 

[flash]

At a guess 1.042 start and 1.012 finish,I'm just thinking not all of that golden syrup is going to ferment out.

Well Flash, seems like you have a cunning plan :-)

I've an idea where it will end up as i've used this yeast before. Unlike the MJ belgian ale yeast I used on my previous brew which chewed its way down to 1.004 which is a new low score for me!

I wasn't planning on 9.3% I was expecting around 8% for that bevvy
schtill - it s lujjsh -just had a sneaky tester.

as for the competition brew its bubbling away every 25 secs or so...

got to remove the hop bag tomorrow then add simcoe/amarillo 5 days before bottling, brewing is tough :whistle: sigh.

 

[beechwood]

1054 down to 1012 :thumb:

 

[dad_of_jon]

Hop bag removed -

bitter as expected and good hop character. I'd be happy to bottle this now, but more hops await :-)

keep your og's & fg's coming

 

[Hoppyland]

I'm going for:
OG 1.041
FG 1.010

 

[LarryF]

Didn't take into account that the MJ West Coast has a very high attenuation rate... bugger!!!

 

[dan125]

I'd guess at 1.048 to 1.008 (if its not already been taken)

 

[JapanBrew]

I under guessed. All that mashing EXTRACT. That's what I get for posting while downing a bunch of the brew!!!
