Brewed a Hoppy American Amber today.

Grist of MO, Red X, Red Rye Crystal, Light Crystal and a bit of Sinamar for colour.

Bittered with Pacific Sunrise, Cascade pellets at 15 and Whirlpool, Chinook & Centennial Incognito in wp. Will dry hop with Cascade Spectrum.

Yeast is WLP041.

The aroma off the Incognito was incredible, but it's such a PITA to clean.

Nice legs

Hoppage

Not quite the red colour I wanted

Into FV #2

Me too. Last attempt was a drain poor though, so hoping for a better result here.

The colour looks great. I’m over due an American Amber brew, and a lot of US Hops moved house with me. Just need to to get the garage sorted so I can get a brew on.

Today's brew is an English Porter.

Targets are:
OG: 1.048
FG: 1.011
ABV: 4.9%
EBC: 47
IBU: 27

Grist may be a bit too "busy", but it's a user-upper of sorts.

75.7% MO
10% Brown
4.4% Choc
4.4% Dark Crystal
3.3% Pale Choc
2.2% Caramalt

10g Admiral @ 60
20g Bramling Cross @ 30
20g Bramling Cross @ 10
20g Bramling Cross @ Whirlpool

Yeast is a pack of CML Beóir and half a pack of CML Clipper.

75 minute mash @ 66°.

Hoping the Dark Crystal and Bramling Cross provide some dark fruit notes.

20l batch - half will be going into keg (maybe on mixed gas, but yet to decide), and half will be going into a polypin for my neglected beer engine.

Ended up with 20l at 1.050.

Dunkel kegged. Has had a bit of lagering in the unitank and looking a clear deep ruby.

Filled a tester bottle. Flat, but flavours are there. Drank loads of Augustiner Dunkel in Munich and this is very similar.
