Much (over here at least. I think flaked maize is really cheap in the states). I've been working on a super cheap beer recipe, cornflakes being part of it.
What did you brew today?

Me too. Thats why I'm making it. Table sugar and cornflakes to replace a third of the malt. Low OG, and Low IBU so it doesnt need much hops. Only two hop additons and the bittering additon of high AA% hops added at 90 min boil so it doesnt take much. Cheap as chips :mrgreen:
Which one is this? I had a bottle of arrowaine last week and really enjoyed it.
To make it really cheap limit the hops to jumping round your kitchen on one leg! Cornflakes. ...try coco pops and do a choccy stout!

Brewed a Pliny The Elder IPA clone yesterday based on Bertus Brewery's 4th recipe. Dry hop in primary on day 4, rack to secondary on day 7 and dry hop again. Bottle a week later.
No idea what Pliny The Elder tastes like, but surely I'll get a decent IPA for my efforts.

It was going to be Orfy's Hobgoblin clone, but I did not have any Goldings, so I used First Gold instead. Also I has Herkules open in the freezer, so used them for bittering. My timings look different to Orfy's mainly due to the length of time it takes to get the GF down to 80C or so - 5 mins to sterilise the counter-flow chiller and maybe 5 more to cool down.
A search probably takes you to a thread on Jim's.

Next Saturday an allgrain IPA in the brewing course (it was either IPA of bock). I asked if individual adjustments were allowed: yes they were :smile:
So I'm gonna bring some extra dme and Chinook for the imperial version!

Yesterday (sorry got delayed in posting) Australian Pale Ale from Coopers with a Bolster Kit from Home Brew Online. Started off a bit low OG 1030 compared to my other drinks. But lets see what the yeasties do to it as it is bubbling away like no tomorrow.

By now, I should be able to brew this in my sleep. The formula is simple. A good quality pale ale malt...offset perhaps by a bit of...crystal, plus a nice heaping of nice fresh Cascade hops... Ferment it using the so called Chico yeast and you've got beer...
This is, of course, nicked from Randy Mosher's excellent "Radical Brewing".
So, doughing in I notice a strange obstruction. Closer inspection reveals the silicone from outside the bottom of the mashing cylinder of the much revered Grainfather. Big panic as the grain and mashing water get separated, then the mashing cylinder gets re-assembled and then it all gets mixed together again in the right place.
Rest of the day went OK, except that I left the white plastic spoon (that came with the Coopers starter kit) too close to the pan I was boiling up the sugar in the final runnings from the sparge. Very sad to lose this spoon, which goes way back to the first kit in 2013. Terrible smell of burning plastic.
Got around 75% efficiency today, which is very good, for me, using pre-crushed grain that has been opened a few weeks.

I expect it will be! The Coopers Real Ale kit was the the first one I did that really tasted like a beer, as opposed to a lager.
Many ways to pimp this kit up as well. Crystal steeps and hop additions.

Rogue Shakespeare oatmeal stout clone - https://byo.com/mead/item/3012-rogue-shakespeare-stout-clone
It's come out a bit bigger than target OG (I got 1066, aiming for 1061). I harvested a batch of US05 from another oatmeal stout bottled yesterday and it's gone off like a rocket, lots of visible activity within 3 hours of pitching. I've never tried a stout hopped with cascade before, hope it comes out alright!

A pink grapefruit version of my Ale cid which I enjoyed more than I thought I would given I'm not a great fan of apple juice.
2.5kg dme
500g dwe
450g golden syrup
8 litres of pink grapefruit juice.
100g Galaxy 20 mins flameout before dropping to 28 degrees kept in for 5 days.
MJ's cider yeast.
If the pink grapefruit sits well, I'll use darker dme next time and perhaps change the yeast to get closer to elvis juice :grin:
