Who's Brewing tomorrow?

[glove81]

First AG brew tomorrow
Robobrew
Continental lager from Brewstore.

 

[Jim Brewster]

Good luck! Done my first AG brew today, kept it simple pale malt, fuggles and ale yeast in 1 US gallon, using the guide on here.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Solstice Lightning anyone?

 

[cushyno]

Not tomorrow, though Sunday morning is looking good for a brew.

Need to get a starter on tonight!

 

[cerbera84]

Gonna have a crack at a Kolsch tomorrow - bought 30 litres of Ashbeck from Tesco at 6am today especially for it

 

[dwhite60]

Not brewing. Bottling. First five gallon batch in many years. All bottles cleaned and ready to go. Gravity is stable.

 

[Clint]

Yeah I'm in...going to crunch the numbers in a bit...
Going for another American pale...with some Munich,wheat and some oats maybe. Hops it Magnum for bittering and I have 100g Vic Secret to play with. Yeast...CML Kveik...first time...

 

[Fritzpoll85]

Having someone round and we're going to try brewing a Jon Finch stout outside, socially distanced.

 

[darkbright]

Brewing a North German Altbier. Sounds interesting.

I’m not drinking at the moment so first sober brew day. New experience!

 

[Galvers]

NEIPA, using the kit from Malt Miller. Starting after 12 so I can have a beer! 1st full batch - fingers crossed!

 

[Clint]

Is that today or tomorrow...?

 

[Galvers]

Is that today or tomorrow...?

A mere few hours away now Clint. Finishing off my spreadsheet as we speak....

 

[Clint]

Sounds like you're in control. I printed off the brew day sheets from Brewers friend...makes it a bit more organized...Mrs Clint is amused! That's her dinner in the dog...

 

[cerbera84]

Just did last minute water additions to the Kolsch - was going to use straight up Ashbeck with lactic acid for pH adjustment, then read Brungard talking about bumping up the calcium in the mash to 40ppm then straight Ashbeck for sparge to dilute, so a massive 0.4g addition each of gypsum and calcium chloride got thrown in too. Mash now on.

 

[Keruso]

Kegging a Double IPA, bit of a monster, 1.076 SG 1.011 FG, and making a Firestone Walker Union Jack clone from BYO. using Tesco Ashbeck and Steve’s water calculator.

 

[cerbera84]

Sparge time

Also pressure transferring my attempt at an Enville ale copy (honey ale) - bit darker than the original but it's got a lovely honey taste and aroma - it's not going to last long

Good luck with the day. Let us know how it goes...

out of interest why do you use mineral water and adjust v’s tap water and adjust? I’ve just worked out the latter and about to fire up the burner.

 

[An Ankoù]

Going to have a go at the braggot. Still mulling over the recipe.

 

[cerbera84]

Usually just adjust my tap water with lactic acid and salts but using a Pilsen water profile for the Kolsch (different country I know, but thought a pilsner style would be good) and my tap water is 164 alkalinity so to adjust my tap water with lactic acid would be over the threshold for lactic taste, apparently

 

[Galvers]

Ah gotcha - I think!
