I brewed today!

[Ward Chillington]

Note to self.. when you are putting things into the kettle that are not part of the mash bill but act as part of the gain bill, write it down along with your hop additions. I had an OH $HIT moment right after pitching my Albany Ale!

 

[Ward Chillington]

Well..it looks like forgetting to add the table sugar to the boil didnt seem to matter too much!

Hm. So I guess we know who makes the brewzillas…

I brewed Sunfire's Golden Ale today. Everything went great except that I accidentally swapped the 0.25 oz addition of Citra at 10 minutes with the 1.5 oz addition of Citra at 5 minutes. I'm not worried, I've made worse mistakes.

Brewed an American Wheat Spelt this morning. Pilsner and Spelt malt. Hoping for a nice, summer type beer along the lines of an American Wheat. Should end up around 4-4.5%, low bitterness and some Nelson and Citra late for a little hoppy appeal. Pitched 1450 at 66F.

So maybe not a brew but beer related. I got one of morebeer’s flashbrewing pilsners kits. It’s 2 gallon and 30 ibu. I plugged it into the calculator and with 3 gallons it’s around 3.7 and 20 ibu. So basically a kit leichtbier . I used 34/70 instead of their flash yeast. Yeast is working after 4 hours.

Good luck. A friend and I tried their Irish Ale kit (5 gal) and it was a dumper. In all fairness, it could have been us. Maybe a real yeast will make a difference!

I've done a couple of the Flash Brew Irish Ale kits and thought they were good. Maybe a step down from what I make and two steps down from the Pros but, still good.

To be fair, we brewed a "normal" batch prior and were a bit tipsy at that point. Still sober enough to dump stuff into a carboy though, I my opinion!

 

[Josh Hughes]

It should be done fermenting now. We will see how it tastes in a week or so.

Brew day. @BarbarianBrewer after you asked about Vienna lager I went ahead and brewed that instead. But I changed a few things…I split weyerman pils and weyerman munich I. Threw a handful of carafa in the mill. Went 28 ibu of Perle and tradition.

 

[Over The Cliff Brewing]

I brewed another experiment(s). I brewed a Red X malt IPA 1.060 and then I soaked the same grains for a 1.5 gallon 1
030 beer, partygyle style.

Josh, how can it be a Vienna Lager if there is no Vienna malt in it?
But, tomorrow will be my first ever Vienna Lager so obviously I don't know what I'm talking about!

My recipe will be 93% Weyermann Vienna. I plan to brew another batch where I use a Vienna/Munich split to see how it compares.
Edit: Changed "brew brew" to "plan to brew". Where is the spell/grammar checker when you need it?

Good question haha. I have heard that a mix 50-50 of German pills and German Munich malt is very similar to a 100% Vienna malt beer. Listen to it on a podcast of some sort. I do know that it smelled wonderful and had a beautiful dark copper color

 

[Brew Cat]

well I have a Vienna recipe that is equal parts Vienna and Pilsner
I feel a need to cut the Vienna with something
not sure why,
I made some inferior beers that I thought had to much
it might not have been the Vienna itself but I started using less and less

 

[Sunfire96]

Just added the late boil strisselspalt to my hoppy pale beer. Fermenting this one with Liberty and Strisselspalt dry hops added at yeast pitch and 34/70 slurry under pressure. Hoping for mid 60's F

If you ever want to play with it differently, try almost all Vienna (97.5 or 98ish%) and use just a tiny bit of Chocolate 350 to darken it up. Yummm
