I just brewed a gose on Friday and threw two packs of PS in. Ferm fridge is at 68 degrees and no activity visible in fermenter . I assume this is due to lacto creation so it’s cool to see others have experienced the same.
LHBS has used this yeast twice with good results. I’ll check with him...
Brewingaround,
Your recipe calls for 17lbs 14 oz of Pilsner. Using Lazy Larry's conversion that would be 13.125 pounds of LME. That seems like a ton more than I remember using in the past. It is way more than the BYO recipe too. I know you are all grain but does that seem correct?
I’m going to convert yours to extract measurements and then compare recipes. I brew with a friend and maybe I will brew one version and he can brew the other an we can compare.
BrewingAround,
Are you brewing extract or AG? I can’t believe I lost my recipe. It was very close to theirs.
looking through this thread it’s tough to figure out which recipe is producing the closest to the real thing. I’m sure they are all great.
The odd thing about the BYO recipe is the hops are not what I used before nor are they listed on the bottle. Any thoughts on why they would list different hops?
I have brewed a version of this 5-10 times and lost my recipe. After reading this thread I did an extra search and it turns out Troegs shared a recipe on BYO.
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.092 FG = 1.015
IBU = 13 SRM = 17 ABV = 11%
Ingredients
12.5 lbs. (5.67 kg) Pilsner malt
2.63 lbs...
I’ve made a three versions of this and all have been fantastic.
I can’t find any details about other styles if beer this could be used for. How about a winter ale?
Gravity reading today was at 1.018. I had a keg kick yesterday so I am cold crashing now, kegging soon. Will post a pick once it’s carbed.
Sample today smelled like pineapple and mangos. Tasted ok for flat and warm beer.
After I signed out I thought of two more questions. Would you keep waiting for the gravity to drop lower? Islandlizard mentioned not cold crashing but I think you meant for the starter not the whole batch. Which got me to thinking, would cold crashing reduce the haze effect?
Here is the full extract recipe I used:
Steeped 1lb of flaked oats, 1/4 lb honey malt, 1/4 carapils for thirty minutes @ 150.
Added 6.6 lbs of LME and 2 gallons of water.
Brought to 150 degrees and added 1 oz of Magnum as FWH
Slowly brought to a boil
Added last 3.3 lbs of LME and wort chiller...
Thanks. I have a dedicated ferm fridge so temp is easy to adjust.
I’ve been make Lawsons Sip of Sunshine as my IPA for about two years and stopped checking gravity levels on that. It always turns out the same on my schedule.
This recipe intrigued me with the different processes used to...
Used London Ale III, Smack pack(no starter)
Boiled 6.6 lbs for 60 min
Added last 3.3 lbs at 15 min
Had to add 2 gallons of water to top up fermenter.
The OG was 1.069, so a few points under the original recipe.
I made an extract version last Monday. I will post the recipe later. I checked the gravity on Sunday and my hydrometer read 1.022, checked again today and 1.022. I still see active yeast so I'm going to wait but my question is why is this taking so much longer than the original recipe?
