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

[jt]

That would've been the Brown, the first one with the hopping schedule Jo suggested. Then I did it at 1.040 and the the pale at 1.045 .. serial brewing ... mash on for #4 in the series

[jt]

Yee haa !
Even better than planned - I only got 1.035 - but I have more volume.
Nicely bitter, but smooth into the fermenter

serial brewing


as opposed to Tony's "cereal brewing"...

[jt]

Yea I save my weeties for breakfast.
My brewing is more like a rerun of Shorty street, a little predictable and a little painful

[Tony]

lol, nice. I'm, more of the Discovery, NG, food channel kind of guy. ;)

Need to turn over a couple of quick ales to get the stocks back up. Brewing this one on Sunday morning:

4.5kg Golden Promise
.5kg Crystal 120

Some hops (maybe green bullet to bitter, and NZ cascade later on)
US05

[Patrick]

Went with
20g green bullet at 60
25 NZ Cascade at 30, 15, and flame out.

Just whirpooling now, about to siphon into the fermenter and pitch yeast.

Brother Mike's RMB (Real Man's Beer) - Rochefort 10 clone

A good friend very generously gave me the ingredients for this as my 40th birthday present. It's the biggest beer I've ever attempted so I'm a bit nervous. I hope to do Brother Mike (!) justice!

8.4kg Belgian Pilsner malt
0.33kg Caramunich II
0.24kg Munich
0.11kg Chocolate
0.06kg Biscuit
0.8kg Amber candi syrup (will be added after a couple of days of fermentation)

90 minute mash at 65 degrees (starting a bit higher to make sure it doesn't drop too low)

90 minute boil
20g Pacifica @ 90
20g Styrian Goldings @ 90
7g Pacifica @ 10
7g Styrian Goldings @ 10

Yeast will be T58 dried (because that's what was provided and I want to be true to the gift).

OG should be around 1.100-1.105, 28 IBUs. Should end up at around 11% abv.

While that's mashing I'm kegging my latest incarnation of Tasty APA.

60g Biscuit in that grist? Would you even notice?
