What are you brewing?

[nzbrewer]

Since this is the most popular thread on the RealBeer.co.nz forum I thought I would start it here just to see what happens

[Reviled]

Aye? Hot alc?

[JoKing]

Is that the one with 4.3kg of malt? Thats like 93% efficiency... 26 litre boil down to 21 litres.

[Reviled]

Fuck 93% are you joking?? It cant be? No way??? Yes it was the 4.3kg batch, I was cracking up this morning seeing as I hit 1060 with 7.1kgs just last weekend, but that was an experiment..

Geezuz, 93%, thats gotta be wrong?

[JoKing]

Gotta love that high quality Imported Germen Pilser Malt aye?

Either that, or your wort was like 12 degrees.

[NVIOUS]

Might have to get some next time. Tho I still like what I'm making with gladfields!

[JoKing]

You just picked up a whole sack of Gladfields didn't you?

[Reviled]

My wort was actually at 22*c.. Shit, im pretty well chuffed ;o) Thanks for hooking me up with the global malt bro :o)

[JoKing]

No sweat. I personally love the stuff - it leaves any other Pils Malz for dead.

[Reviled]

Shit, I just realised this beer is gonna be sweet as :o( Is it possible to get more bitterness in it?

[JoKing]

It wont be sweet. I bet it finishes at around the 1.010 didn't you mash at 65?

[Reviled]

I dunno, im looking at that hopping schedule and thinking the IBUs may not be very high? I did mash at 65 tho..

[JoKing]

It'll be like Mayhem then - nicely flavoured with some slight sweetness. Sounds like a nice beer to drink.
