What did you brew today?

@Clint I’ve got cooker envy!

This has fermented down to 1.008 from 1.066 giving me a mighty 7.6% beer - the strongest ive ever made by about 2%! It’s a bit paler than I’d planned but otherwise (very) early impressions are promising.

52 x 330ml and 5 x 500ml bottles. Not only the highest ABV I’ve ever done but also the highest number of bottles!

Bottled my raspberry TC. 45 bottles of loveliness and a pint to spare !

Hoppy IPA to bottle on Sunday !

Life is a chore [emoji4]

Got an extended mash on for my Citra Saison. My daughter has a 1 hour school visit this morning then I’ll take her out for a snack before going back to nursery, then pick up my Inkbird from the sorting office and get some shopping - it will probably be about a 3 hour mash. Lost my mash paddle though (I think it might be in the shed) so had to use a metal spatula.

It was meant to be an APA but I won the Inkbird competition so decided to do a saison to test out the steppes temperature function during fermentation. Went with a Citra saison so I could still get something a bit hoppier in my stocks. I had the gain already but not the hops/yeast, which I got from The Malt Miller this week.

Recipe:
2.5kg Crisp Clear Choice pale malt
1.5kg Ireks Munich

15g Citra FWH
35g Citra 5mins
50g Citra flameout

Fermenting starting at The low 20s and ramping up to 30 over a couple of days. Using MJ French Saison

I also plan on bottling my Dubbel today.

Off like a rocket! Started at 20C and been ramping up over the last 27 or so hours and it’s now at 28.9C. Hopefully it’ll be up to 30 by the morning and I’ll keep it there for the next week.

21 litres of Simcoe, Mosaic, Amarillo pale ale coming out at 1.054, 6 points above BF target OG. Using US05 after a couple of disappointing CML brews.

Just put a barleywine into ferment chamber - William black’s best ale from a historic recipe book using some bramling cross that’d been hanging around.

The last barleywine got put in a crimbo pud - delicious.

All went well...except the bit where I forgot to put the bazooka in the boil kettle..do did a quick transfer and sorted it. Volumes bang on but efficiency down a bit to just over 68% giving an og if 1042 instead of 1047.View attachment 13904 View attachment 13905 View attachment 13906 View attachment 13907 View attachment 13908

My wife would kill for a range like that only O keep telling her we don't have the room....[emoji106]

The big cooker was my reward after giving in to the Mrs when she wanted the kitchen sorting. It is great..two ovens,five burners,grill and a heated glass/ceramic warming plate plus a plate warning cupboard. Doesn't make me a better cook though...

Done the home brew company Irish red ale kit today. Ended up with 26 litres at 1044 in the fv. If it gets down to 1010 I should still get a 4.5% beer which was the target.
Lovely colour to it.

Good choice. Very simple, but ideal for this weather!

Got the pot in the oven mashing for 5L of Bike Pirate Blonde https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/bike-pirate-blonde-pseudo-lager.77320/

Flippin' eck @Clint your cooker is bigger than my kitchen

Just finished mopping the floor after making a session American pale ale. I was aiming at about 4.5% and 35 IBU's, using American hops. I loosely based it on GH's 60 minute IPA, but reduced the grain bill to suit and use up some odds and sods, similar with the hops, substituting CTZ for Chinook and Citra for some of the Amarillo and halving the number of hop additions.

Got 23 L in the FV at 22°C and about half a litre on the floor because I left the FV tap open... again... OG was 1.048, giving an efficiency of 89%.

 

[Clint]

Why DO we make the same mistakes? Mine is leaving the bazooka off the kettle...

 

[NIGHTSKY BREWING]

Just Ordered some Malts for a Strong Porter from the MALTMILLER.....with a 002 ESB yeast. would you add any Spices or roots.

 

[Ian Watkins]

Made a NEIPA today. All went well. In the fermenter at 1.064.

Yesterday I put 8 litres of cider down in my Craft FV. After talking to the guy at the local home brew store, I got an 11g pack of Cider yeast and 8 litres of 100% natural apple juice from Aldi. I put them all together and hope that it turns out well. I have wanted to do cider for a bit now and this is the first batch.
The only thing that worried me is that the wife was giving a helping hand and before I know it she had an unsteralused wooden spoon string the 2 litres of juice I had warming up. All other items were sterilised apart from the spoon. Fingers crossed that this is not the thing that spoils the brew.

I’m sure it will be fine as long as it clean before use.

Why were you warming up the Apple Juice ?
