What are you brewing this weekend

[SlugTrap]

IPA yesterday, using fag ends of hop bags in the freezer, mostly NZ.
1.063 OG, and planning on liberal dry hopping.

[TheSumOfAllBeers]

Just got a rye oatmeal stout on yesterday. Now passively chilling in the cube. Will know OG tonight.

Good chunk of roasted rye, choc rye, choc malt, crystal, munich, oats and some wheat for head.

2 tins of pale extract, plus about 3Kg of grain in the mash.

Lightly hopped, with 28g EKG @ 60 and 18g EKG/10g Challenger @ 30.

This evening I am all set up for a Rye/Wheat low gravity session pale.

Rye Pale ale in the mash ATM:

- 1200g Wheat
- 1000g Rye
- 1100 Maris Otter
- 1000g Munich

As a hop bill going for magnum for bitterness (20g) @ 60, 28g EKG @ 30, 14g EKG @ 20, 14g EKG @ 10.

In 2 minds for yeast. I am tempted to use T-58, but have S-04 and nottingham.

Went to the brew room (/office/bar/spare bedroom) yesterday to see what I had knocking about to get a brew on. First time in there in about 6 or 8 weeks. A mini keg I had in there had swelled up & burst. Haven't a clue when. Manky stout everywhere. 

So spent my brew day scrubbing the place before SWMBO copped it. And moved a fridge & shelf unit around to hide the swollen floor 

On the plus side I found a few beer kits I forgot I had so result! I'll throw them on over the next couple of weeks!

wat ya like :
u only check ur beer every month r 2...its my daily task after my coffee in the mornin...check up on all my babies...all 14 of them at present..

Got a sneaky mash on this morning (doing tax return)

I would never ever mention some of the above words together!

And I dont mean "got doing on this a morning"

FFS: The Amererican CIA web po-liss will be onto the heds in revnew.oldsod in a twinkle of a bit-stream

I dont know about the rest of you but i only get the chance to Brew on the weekends. This Sun i'll be trying my hand at my first  AG Octoberfest stlye lager. Anyone else brewing?

4Kg Pils Malt
1Kg Vienna
1kg Munich

25g Hallertauer Mittelfrüh 60
25g Hallertauer Mittelfrüh 30 (is this enough hops)

Well i had to leave this mashing for 5hrs (dont ask). Finally got it cooled down today in the Family fridge SWMBO is not impressed, i reckon that after Di-acetyl rest i will keg it for the rest of the conditioning. How log does it take a Lager yeast to ferment out 20 litres og 1.060

Cal Common wlp 810 San Fran lager yeast v Mangrove Jacks m54 Californian lager yeast, interestingly the white labs ferments 16-18, the MJ 18-20 degrees. 

[molc]

Interested to see how that turns out. Pils and special roast is a very different cal common to what I'm used too doing.

Doing the NCB Russian Imperial Stout this weekend myself. First big beer on the new kit!

[Leann ull]

I'm going to use brown. It's really to test this MJ everybody is raving about, I'm still to be convinced about dried yeast.

Downgrade your efficiency from 85 to 75 to hit your numbers with 1150 I have to go as low as 70 on 13 kgs of grain

[molc]

Set my efficiency to 64 to be safe. Can dilute if it's too strong. Also going to try batch sparging just to really cock it up

Really keen to see those mangrove yeasts in action. From what I've read their low cell count so you need to use 2 packs for 1.050 beers, which makes them not that cheap...

Dilute, I'm sure others will miss their numbers.

That's like the bry97, I'm using 1 on 22l for a 1050 and looking at the instructions on the back I should be well inside the limit, I'll know 8 hours in
