What's everyone brewing?

[jeffsmith]

Yup! All day Sunday. I figure it can't possibly be worse than a few weeks ago when we did the RIS for the barrel project. With mill problems, missing ingredients, and a few other annoyances it turned into a 14 hour brew day

I was thinking more of all the sugar additions done during primary fermentation.

And sweet jesus, 14 hours! That's dedication right there. My last RIS brew day seemed to be somewhat the same. Lasted about 7 or 8 hours, but it was mostly due to the fact that myself and my buddy that was helping were both extremely hung over.

I'm brewing up 42L of Witbier now. One carboy is going to get 3lbs rhubarb in the secondary and the other one is going to get a cocktail of spices (peppercorn, etc).

I'm planning on breaking in my rig tomorrow or Saturday. I'm going to brew my Amarillo Pale Ale with some slight modifications: more late hopping and less 2-row since my efficiency will be way better. I'm actually looking for a bit lower ABV this time (4.8% or so), last time it was 5.5%. I really liked this beer.

I'm looking at a 30L strike water vol BIAB with about 22L going into the fermenter. My calculations are based on 75% efficiency which I'll modify once I actually brew on the system.

Estimated OG: 1.046 SG
Estimated Color: 5.8 SRM
Estimated IBU: 29.9 IBUs

Ingredients:
------------
Amt Name Type # %/IBU
4000.0 g Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 88.9 %
300.0 g Caramel/Crystal Malt - 30L (30.0 SRM) Grain 2 6.7 %
100.0 g Aromatic Malt (26.0 SRM) Grain 3 2.2 %
100.0 g Barley, Flaked (1.7 SRM) Grain 4 2.2 %
14.0 g Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] - First Wort 60.0 Hop 5 16.4 IBUs
20.0 g Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] - Boil 20.0 min Hop 6 12.9 IBUs
1.00 Items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 mins) Fining 7 -
14.0 g Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] - Boil 1.0 min Hop 8 0.6 IBUs
1.0 pkg Nottingham Yeast (Lallemand #-) [23.66 m Yeast 9 -

Just FYI, this came out very light... needs more hops. It went from 1.050 to 1.012. The first time I made it I did the Nash hop burst steeping dry hop method, this time I used less hops (only 10 grams vs at least 14, maybe more) for the dry hop and just tossed them into the primary after 2 weeks. All and all it might make a good lawn mower beer and tastes good with a drop of lime. Also, I guess I have to learn my new brew rig and this was the first batch on it.

Two spruce beers tonight. One with Nottingham and one with Safale US-05. Similar to what I made last year which is posted in here:

Using a little less spruce tips as I had a later harvest as I expect stronger spruce flavour.

Looks like RIS and maby a small brown from the left overs.

I'll be brewing a 700 litre batch of a west coast style APA on Saturday at the local microbrewery. This will be the first time brewing my own recipe there so I'm pretty excited about it.

I haven't brewed too much at home in the last little bit as all of my kegs are full and I've still got two in fermenters that need to be kegged soon. I plan on making Jeff's Bees Knees APA recipe sometime next week though.

Dogfish 120 Clone. Fingers crossed we can pull it off!

How is this going Jayme?

Haha awesome! But it won't be even close to Dogfish 120. Basically we didn't hit our efficiency and decided to just make it an IPA. Corn sugar is all weighed out and ready to go for when we do actually brew it! On a day when not so hung over...

I reset the gap in my grinder, efficiency up to 82.7% and my post boil OG 1.058!! Fermenting away like crazy now, hope to get it down to 1.009-.008

I got my west coast pale ale made today at Big Tide. I ended up with 710 litres with an OG of 1.054. It's going to be for sale at the brew pub and will be called Hammond River Pale Ale. If anyone is in the neighbourhood once it's on tap I'd love to get some feedback on it.

Just mashed in a Magic Hat #9 clone...thanks for the suggestion Hogie!
