Been slow posting this....
This is a re-brew of one of my earlier AG attempts, a fantastic intro to Saison's and one I highly suggest to try.
https://gardenofedenbrewing.wordpress.com/2015/06/14/were-shipping-...
3L OG 1.060 21 IBU
2.3 kg Pilsner Malt
1.4 kg Pale Malt
900 g Munich Malt
900 g Wheat Malt
500 g Table Sugar (sucrose)
120 g Dark Crystal
14 g Nelson Sauvin @ 20′, 10 and 5′
28 g Nelson Sauvin @ 7 days
Nothing fancy in the mash, rest @ 66C for 90′, sparge @ 77C.
A WPA (well, basically a cross between a Belgian Wit and an APA). Currently two days into fermentation, and a pleasant hop aroma is coming out of the airlock.

200g Oat Hulls

hi everyone, thought I'd post my proposed recipe, and get some advice (I can't seemto find the recipe advice thread, plus it appears to have gone dead....)
so here goes:
76.3% Pale
7.3% Vienna
13.3% Munich
(1068-70)
hops:
Calypso - 3/4oz @60
Calypso - 1oz @ 20
1.25oz Eldorado @ F/O
1.25oz Nugget @ F/O
1.75oz Lemon Drop @ F/O
4oz Eldorado @ dryhop 3-5 Days.
Thoughts and advice appreciated.
What are you aiming for? Looks a bit like a marzen/oktoberfest malt bill with pale instead of pils, and the hop schedule of a pilsner? Might work using that combination without any crystal...
Not very familiar with those hops I'm afraid.
Just finished a "London Porter" brew day to a recipe that may be similar to one from the "The Occasional Brewer". I'm making it because I tasted a bottle brewed there by a friend a several months back and it was excellent. I was going to do a Jaipur IPA clone instead but I'm still trying to sift out a suitable recipe for that.
"Occasional Porter" 23L @ OG1.060 S-04. I wish I'd made this thing 3 months ago. In Wellies recent bout of sub 10 degree days cold beer is the last thing on my mind.

Planning to brew another WPA some time in the following weeks. I found my first version to be a little too tart and the orange-like citrus flavours (presumably from Citra) overpowered everything else. I probably over-hopped at flameout.
So, this is a preliminary recipe for 23L.
3.50kg 2-Row (60%)
2.25kg Torrified Wheat (38%)
150g Oat Hulls (2%)
Safale US-05
20g Simcoe @60
15g Pacifica or Motueka @15, 20g @0
15g Cascade (U.S.) or Amarillo @15, 20g @0
Whirlfloc Tablet @10
Nothing new about the mashing or sparging process for this attempt. OG is 1.053, FG 1.011. IBUs 38.8
I have never used American and New Zealand hops together before so if anybody has an idea of what aromas these combinations might lend to the beer, I would be keen to know. I am leaning towards Motueka + Amarillo at the moment for aroma/flavour
Just brewed a Belgian wheat beer all grain ..This recipe is reputed to be similar to the hoegaarden style. I can't say how close it is, as It's only been fermenting for 5 days.I'll post up a taste profile once its conditioned for a few weeks..
21L batch
Grains
5 lb pale malt
4 lb flaked wheat (milled)
1 lb flaked oats
Hops
0.5 Oz Nz Goldings 60 min boil
0.5 Oz Saaz last 5 min of boil
Adjuncts
1 Oz crushed indian corriander seeds last 5 min
1 Oz bitter orange peel powder last 5 min
4 camomile tea bags last 5 min
Wyeast - 3944
OG 1.047
FG 1.010
ABV 4.9% IBU 16.7
Mash in 15.1 liters for 90 min @152f with strike water of 163f then Drain into your boil kettle
Batch sparge @ 170 f till you get a total boil volume of 24 liters, You should lose about 3 liters during the boil for a final batch of 21 liters.
I will be interested to hear how that turns out (and maybe sample one). I've had very little luck with that style mostly I think due to under pitching yeast issues.
Hows all grain going for you?
I have an ESB in the fermenter at the moment. I originally put the recipe together for the Western Brewers Conference comp this weekend but didn't get my arse in gear quickly enough.
Gladfield ale malt, medium & dark crystal malts, chocolate malt and flaked barley make up the grain bill. Bittered with Pacific Jade and First Gold for the later hop additions. I wanted to ferment with the White Labs ESB strain but couldn't get any in time for brewday so I had to make do with S04.
Hi Cain, yea no worries mate..I will keep a sample aside for you to try. I cultured my yeast from a slant sent to me from a fellow forum member. It was three step process that took about a week to get enough cells for pitching..My ferment barrel was bubbling after about 4 hours!! I took a gravity reading this morning and its down to 1.012 already after 6 days.. I had to try a cheeky little sample just to see if it has that distinct hoegaarden taste!! the results so far seem very promising but I do not want to get too carried away just yet..
Really enjoying the move to all grain mate, just hard finding the time with the little one. I'll still be pimping up a few extracts from time to time tho..
