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

[Kempicus]

Tasty how much riwaka are you dry hopping with?

[Martin Bridges]

Haven't got my recipe to hand but I think it was about 40g.

[Barry]

Christmas Day IPA (junior)
5.5kg Golden Promise
400gm light crystal
100gm amber

NZ cascade/goldings/D Saaz
25gm/5gm/5gm
@60,20,10,5,0

will probably dry hop too.

OG 1.056, IBU 49
S05


Would've made it bigger - a real IPA, if I had more than on packet of yeast :( But for Christmas Day I didn't want it too over the top either.

Burp.

I brewed an Anzac Pale Ale yesterday, gonna keg this for new years... Tasty :o) Galaxy hops rock by the way!

4kg Golden Promise
200g Wheat
220g Cara-Pils
90g CaraHell

60: 5g Nelson Sauvin (11.4%), 5g Galaxy (15%)
20: 15g Nelson Sauvin, 15g Galaxy
10: 10g Nelson Sauvin, 15g Galaxy
FO: 20g Galaxy, 15g Nelson Sauvin

Going to pitch some US-05 on this today, thinking of dry hopping also, but that might be a bit overkill? Any thoughts?

Mein Pils, Mein Pils - Pilsner

5.5kg Pilsner Malt

Czech Saaz all the way.

Using Wyeast 2042.

Pretty boring really.

Not at all James, a classic Pils. Let me know how it goes, I was thinking of doing something similar.

[James P]

Will do, I'm going to use a three step mash, however it is brew in a bag until I get my mash tun sorted.

[Reviled]

Nothing wrong with BIAB pilsner ;oP What step mash are you using? Zwickels?

[James P]

I was thinking his step mash schedule from here. There is 8 points difference between that and a single infusion, but the efficiency differs by nearly 10%. My last BIAB efficiency was probably 50 - 60%

Hey, there's a sale on at Payless Plastics in Shirley. They had a 44l Rubbermaid esky (rectangular) for half price there today, it was $65 I think.

Dunno if you're interested but I spent a while looking at it and going hmmmmmmmmmm

[James P]

Hmm... time for a drive me thinks...
