Next Cask Fill

[ColMack]

1. Will_D:   2 * LME, 2 * Notty, Enough fresh US hops ( If needed I will do 2 brews so then x by 2!! )
2. Nigel
3. ColmR
4. Jacob
5. ColMack 2*LME, 2* Yeast, Hops


Count me in.  I'll go along with a group buy for two tins of extract, 2 sachets of yeast and 100g each of Magnum and Apollo whatever.  They'll all be used anyway.

Ok sorry for taking so long with this but have been busy the last few days.

I put ann the numbers into my brewing software and the 2 x 1.5 Kg of LME comes up short of the numbers compared to the more expensive DME  With the 3 Kg of LME we hit 1.079 compared to the 1.091 of the DME.
Before we go any further I would like to make sure people at ok going with the more expensive DME

It would be the €18.95 3kg bag from HBC

The recipe i would like to do is as follows.

Barrel Project No 2. Brewing Bad US Barleywine

OG based on 65% efficiency 1.061
IBU

Grain bill:

Marris Otter 4.75 Kg (54.3%)
Amber Malt 0.50 Kg (5.7%)
Crystal 80 0.50 Kg (5.7%
Light DME 3.00 Kg (34.3)

Hops additions:
Apollo 19.5 AA 35g @ 60 mins               ( 73.5 IBU)
Apollo 19.5 AA 35g @ 20 mins               ( 24.7 IBU)
Centennial 10.5 AA 35g @ 5 mins          ( 6.6 IBU)
Centennial 10.5 AA 40g @ dry

I would also suggest dry hopping the cask in the last few weeks before emptying with aprox 300g centennial / cascade pellets.

Yeast 2 x USo5  which should drop to aprox 1.020 which will give . 9.5% ABV end product.
Because of the large dry hopping of this beer we may need a bit more then the last batch for filling and top up so another brewer may be needed. If we have extra it always good to have a control sample.

What does everybody thing. Recipe ok for everyone. Any suggested changes. I chose apollo as the main bittering hop as ive had great results with in the past and would love to try it in a big US barleywine. Big tropical and orange / citrus taste. Lovely stuff that i thing will match the centennial perfectly.

For a full all grain batch with no added extract 11.75 Kg of marris otter would be subbed

Thanks Nigel I am happy to go with the DME and the US-05 so:

1. Will_D:   3kg DME, 2 * US-05, 100 gms each of Appolo and Centenial ( If needed I will do 2 brews so then x by 2!! )
2. Nigel
3. ColmR
4. Jacob
5. ColMack 2*LME, 2* Yeast, Hops
6. BrianC    2*LME, 2*yeast, Hops

Also confirmed with James that he is in
RitchieH has said he can't make it

Renier should be in was talking yesterday about his boiler - should be up running soon
Just need to hear from Cahal

So looks like we may get 9 brews.

7. Partridge - not entirely sure about what ingredients I need - but I'm filling either way.

[ColMack]

I'm ok with the DME.
I can get more than 6kg into my mashtun, but the DME will give some margin of error for any loss of efficiency etc.

[ColmR]

I was thinking of using LME and making up the difference with extra base malt. Definitely can take an extra kilo in the mash tun...

But if we were to go down the DME route, would we get a price break if we were to buy a 25kilo sack? But would it be extremely messy trying to split that out?

[Eoin]

HBW might do a nice bulk deal on extract.
