Who Knows - 8

[dad_of_jon]

Hi All,

It's been a while but I'm back to having more resources available to me .... yada, yada and therefore it's competition time.....

On the 08/10/2017 I brewed my xmas 2018 beer. Here's the ingredients..

500g each of dark crystal, smoked malt, choc malt & roasted barley
500g dwe
2.5kg dme
500g dark candi sugar
454g can of gs

mangrove jacks m41 yeast used.
topped up to 21.5 litres.

The closest to the OG and FG win a bottle of their choice from my sig... delivered free of charge to anywhere the royal mail will deliver for £2.90! - (Uk mainland NI & EIRE I believe.)

The winner is likely to be picked in a few weeks when I've bottled the above brew. Get your guesses in quick.... There are two forum members who have both won this comp twice, you guys know who you are, can you make it a hat trick?

good luck!

ps: if there's nothing in the sig you fancy I'm doing a follow on mango/pineapple/grapefruit beer (not decided which yet) or you could have one sent to someone else deserving of a bottle of HB.

I'm gonna guess OG of 1.074 and FG of 1.014 giving a rather sessionable (for you) 7.9% ABV.

I'm going with OG:1085 - FG:1012 9+%, a very big boy beer.

 

[Ajhutch]

I'll guess 1.082 - 1.016

Hmmm... I'll go for a lower OG, 1.069 to finishing at 1.015, for a nice 7%.

Promise you give a more detailed recipe after the contest! I'm drooling ._.

 

[Jakeyboi]

O.G 1069 and FG 1014

 

[RichieBeer]

OG 1072 and FG 1015 is my shout.

of course! gotta keep a bit of mystery. :lol: did I mash high or low, or did I cold steep

clue: similar to previous recipes :twisted:

 

[Zephyr259]

I'm going for 1.085 and 1.007, 10.2% looks like one of your big black belgians. :-)

Hoping to make it a hatrick I'll go for

1.073 - 1.007

:

 

[sdt7618]

I'll go for 1.075 and 1.010

 

[foxbat]

Hmmm, 1.083 -> 1.011 is my guess. 9.6% ABV should provide a decent layer of insulation at Christmas!

 

[Leon103]

1.076 and 1.014

 

[Norfolk79]

1.076 to 1.015, a nice 7.9%

 

[stigman]

I'll go for 1.074 to 1.010

 

[dad_of_jon]

update: was going to bottle tuesday/wednesday but it seems i've had my first ever stuck fermentation. I called in the saisonator and now its started up again.

Hoping to bottle next week

 

[Badseed1974]

1.081 to 1.012

I fancy one of those King Kong's

Hi All,

I have enough entries so no more guesses after this post will be accepted.

The beer will be bottled on the 14th or 17th November So I'll have the FG figure by then. The winner will get their bottle in time for xmas :thumb:

It stuck at 1.030 which was a first but I added some more yeast and gave it a little swirl, its displaced the airlock again without bubbling so its getting bottled come what may as I need the fv for a pale beer for xmas!
(To balance out all my strong dark ones.)

Anyways I was expecting around 1.018 but using the saison yeast might get it a bit lower. I'll just use less priming sugar if the FG is coming in a little high and of course a plastic bottle as a carb tester.
