Well boil is on for Schnieder wiesse, and Brodie's is mashing. Just realised I'm out of H Hersbrucker so it'll be a mix of Mittlefruh and saaz for the weisse! oh well

 

[leedsbrew]

Cheers chaps. Yeah it was a good brew day! It was interspersed with some monumental titting about on my behalf but I think the end results will be very good!

Bramling Cross & Cascade sounds interesting :) Hope it went well :)

Aye, I think it will be a very good combo it the commercial stuff is anything to go by!

This is what they looked like this AM. Schnieder Wieeseish is going off like a rocket again with the WLP300. I'm going to have to set up a blow off tube. The yeast was slurry from the bottom of a weisse base beer I'm turning into a weisse kriek for the Mrs so was very fresh. This turned out at 25L @ 1.045 so a little off the 23L @ 1.051 I was aiming for but thats because I forgot to turn the boiler up after a near boil over at the beginning of the boil!

The Brodie's Prime however was 24L @ 1.054 instead of 23L @ 1.053. That can be attributed to my efficiency being 87% instead of the expected 80%! This was pitched with
5 hours after the Schnieder. The WLP005 was slurry from a batch of black sheep ale and has been in the fridge for about a week and a half. I pitched about 400mls of VERY thick slurry. Mr malty pitching rate calculator suggested about 100mls so I erred on the side of caution! :lol: :lol: the air lock is blipping away nicely. I expect it'll get going this afternoon.


All in all a good day!

Thought I would post a quick YEAST CAM update! The wlp300 is currently trying to escape through the blow off tube, and the wlp005 is picking up speed!


Video clicky!

 

[Aleman]

If that is the Whitelabs wheat yeast then I would suggest that you put that blow off a bottle into a much bigger container, unless you are into beige carpets

 

[leedsbrew]

Cheers A! I it is the WLP300. I'm on a night shirt tonight, but the Mrs just sent me an sms saying it's escaping out of the lid!

Looks like I've got some cleaning up to do tomorrow!
