A very interesting approach. Does the beer get clearer as it sets?Finally bottled them on Sunday. Will be ready to drink on Friday. Right on time.View attachment 668139
I tasted while bottling & it had nice orange aroma with hints of grapefruits. I think the green malt hit right on money with taste and flavours. I'll use green malt more often at least in such ales.
I think it'll, but not much since I bottled it earlier than usual - in 8 days. Usually, I bottle only after 3 weeks, by that time all yeast has dropped. I also didn't use clay etc. But after sitting in the refrigerator for a day should make it a bit better.A very interesting approach. Does the beer get clearer as it sets?
Not sure where I posted it two weeks ago...but Girl Scout cookie season came up and I had to manage booths for my wife's troop. So my brown ale ingredients (into which I intend to add vanilla and toasted coconut) are still sitting in the pantry. Godwilling, this will be the final week and I may even be able to sneak in brewing this weekend...haha. Wish me luck!
[...]Read the Brulosophy exbeeriment regarding sparge temps, so tomorrow I'm going to brew a Czech pilsner; and sparge water will be warm; not cold, not hot, but warm. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.
End-of-runnings pH is much more important than sparge liquor temperature. Keep it below 5.6 to avoid silicates and excess tannins in the wort...
Cheers!
@day_trippr is right. pH is what matters, temperature is really irrelevant. Just think, you can boil decoction mashes for hours without extracting tannins or silicates.If I had a working pH meter, now....I'm too cheap to buy a good one, the one I have has to be calibrated every darn time and I'm not sure if it's right. I'll play with it tomorrow anyway, thanks.
I’m brewing a Blonde Ale tomorrow.
The goal is to get this recipe dialed in so I can serve it at a charity golf tournament in a few months.
Yea, for the non hop head crowds. [emoji482]
Thinking of using Imperial Flagship yeast for this one.
I just botched a blonde ale today!!! Mashed in late yesterday and life got in the way and I thought I could let it sit in the cooler over night and boil today! Well I was wrong. I went to vorloft and the most god awful sour smell and it tasted horrible. Oh well, just mashed in a red ale. I will definitely finish it tonight lol
Predicted OG was .042. If I hold my mouth just right...
Just over 3 hours and just a little cleanup left.

Knocked out a "single-hop" American IPA today:

That sight glass is awesome! Do you have a pic of your whole setup?
Despite hitting all my pre-fermentation numbers dead on this one didn’t finish where I wanted or expected it to. I was looking for a FG of around 1.010 and it stalled at 1.020. Used WLP007 and fermented a tad cool at around 65-66f. Tried giving it a gentle stir and warming it to 70 for a couple days. Nothing. I then added a half pk of US-05 I had leftover and it dropped another point or so, then stalled again. Going to go with it as is (no choice anyway) and have a sweeter Dry Irish Stout at 3.2% rather than the 4.2% I was hoping for.Brewed a Dry Irish Stout earlier today. Hit all my numbers almost dead on. Using WLP007 yeast, first evidence of airlock activity started in under four hours.
One thing unexpected though was a cow running through my backyard (the 6th fairway). It was seen running down my quiet street prior to cutting between two houses and onto the fairway. Last seen heading northwest. Police were about five minutes behind.
