What did you brew today?

[moto748]

Big Bold IPA as per @Nicks90

Only had 25 g of Cascade leaf, so bunged in another 20 g of Amarillo to make up.

Going for energy-saving half-hour boil!

Brewing a Saison atm. Flying by the **** of my pants somewhat I just sort of threw a recipe together which is mostly pilsner malt with a touch of pale, and Mandarina Bavaria hops. The yeast is CML Wallonia, which I am unsure how it attenuates, hence the grain bill is fairly small and I will figure out post boil whether to adjust up with DME.

I'm brewing to around 5% these days. I want something I can have a few of on a nice day, not a 7%, two and your on wobbly legs type deal.

Brewed my first saison a month or so back and really liking the style I went pilsner and wakatu hops lovely and dry with a lime taste.

Big Bold looking good:


11 litres @1044 OG = 72% BHE, pleased with that.

Haven’t tasted it yet but I ended up with 92.47% Attenuation using CML Wallonia a tad lower than Belle Saison but still pretty high attenuation.

I'm glad I kept the grainbill reasonably small. Once the boil was done I did a wee adjustment up to 1.048 with 300g of DME, as I felt that would give me something I would be happy enough with at either end of the attenuation scale.

Didn’t brew but bottled x36 my Leffe clone and kegged an Exmoor Gold 18 litres.

Evening brewday for another Belgian Pale. This one's for a Comp so will be more malt forward , more in the style of De Koninck Bolleke

Mrs sorted me some dinner while it's coming up to boil..good timing ready just as sparge finished

Good brew day, finished a couple of points down at 1.046

 

[Braufather]

Brewed a Warminster MO centennial smash with WLP 005.

Went well enough but I’ve made a much bigger mess than usual. Having a cuppa before I attempt the clean up.

De Kronik Bollik! Sounds uncomfortable. There's a name for it.

Luckily they found a cream to deal with it!

Lucky escape tonight. I was planning on kegging my Munich Dunkel tonight, decided to pour myself a pint first. No gas
Will have to bottle it up tomorrow night instead

 

[Tommo 2]

Got two in today myself , a summer lightning and a mosaic IPA , never managed it before and won’t be doing again , was in the kitchen for a total of eleven hours with clean up .

And a cream

Dry hopped my Cascade and Citra pale ale tonight ( a bottle of which will be heading to Cornwall for this months competiton ) finished at 1.010, a couple of points lower than predicted and 80% attenution.
Nice clear sample, tasted and smelt lovely. I went for fewer IBU's at 60 mins and upped the late boil/hopstand, to hopefully get a bit more of an in your face hop flavour/aroma.
Looking forward to kegging/bottling this after the weekend !

Had an out of date can of Black Rock (NZ) Miners stout put it in a pan with 8l water and a 1.7kg pouch of MJ dark malt (unhopped) and 450g of an ood Golden Syrup. Boiled for 10 minutes with 16g Challenger. Had an og of 1.046, added harvested Wyeast 1028. Thinking do I stick 60g of oak in there, works for wine but don't hear much about oaking beer the same way.
