Not the answer you're looking for, but I did in like 2.5 weeks. Kegging, obviously

Yeah i will be shooting for around 10 days.

- 4-5 days ferment
- cold crash and gelatin fine 2-3days
- Keg @40psi for 24-36 hours.

I plan on doing something similar in the next few days.

Yeah its basically what the guy over at brulosophy does. I assume your familiar with it. I always was interested in quick beer. He's not a fan of notty however.

Are you using notty or a different yeast? I have made this beer with notty and us-05. I don't care for us-05 at all.

I'm using notty. Notty clears so well, i just stick with it.

This was one of my first kegged batches, so the burst carbing thing scared me. Probably had a week for sure in the keg.

I think 10 days is totally doable, and I'm not a cold-crash type of guy either.

Cold crashing is really interesting. It changes beer IME

why would burst carbing scare you? your keg will leak right away in most cases. and no one died from 5lbs of CO2 leaking.

Scared me, past tense. I had only kegged one batch at that time and was scared to death of overcarbing. I haven't made this beer in a few years, now.

I still haven't cold crashed, but have used Irish moss a few times. Always experimenting, we are

 

[treacheroustexan]

Brewing this again tomorrow morning, but a 2.75 gallon batch. I love the original recipe, but I have an ounce of simcoe in the freezer I need to get rid of that I'm going to dry hop with.

Cold crashing is unavoidable if you want quick beer IMO. I actually carbed up about 1 litre of my batch, pretty much exactly has posted, lastnight! Tasty. I think it will take another 3 or 4 days to really clear up and it will be good to go!

I did get %5.5abv and i mashed a little higher.

I have another batch too that is pretty much exactly edworts. That i was going to ferment for 8 days instead of 4 days and compare. If there's little difference i see little reason to wait 4 extra days.

I'm just looking for an easy and quick recipe which is edworts inspiration for this recipe i believe. I've done a few SMaSH's they all turn out good. But this does look to be a little more "complex". Vienna which i've used in a SMaSH is one of the best base malts IMO.

FYI i used the exact grains, hops and yeast. Mashing was a little different has i use a grainfather.

FWIW, I have found that this beer takes a couple of weeks to really come together. I would recommend not hurrying it if you don't have to. It will be done fermenting just a few days, but I like to leave it in the keg for a while before I drink it

I like to do Biermuncher's Centenial Blonde if I need a quick (grain to glass in 10 days) beer.

You might be right. Thats why i have 2 batchs going. One will be closer to 14 days, which is still excellent/quick. I like the recipe and i just want a simple go to pale ale and the faster i can make it the better.

This is my first 2 brews in probably 6 months because i hate bottling. I should be able to get my C02 tank filled much easier now and i will probably buy a bigger one also.

So i haven't really got a good process down yet.

Are you bursting carbing this amount? If so what psi and time do you use has a guideline?

I use the set and forget method. Only thing I'm doing different this time is using gelatin.

I brewed this on Sunday, with an error in my BIABacus spreadsheet and adding too much mash water in my BIAB, I have an OG of 1.040

I used Nottingham yeast and the activity has stopped already in the airlock... could it be finished already? I am going to pull a sample tonight and test on my refractometer

Oct 12 - Nov 2
Cold crashed it last night in the keg, connecting the CO2 now

my final gravity was ~1.006 so approx 4.5%

I'm sure it will turn out just fine! Please post back with results.

Thanks! I will update when it's ready

 

[seabrew8]

This beer did taste really nice and clear at ~12 days for me - kegged 4 days fermented 8 days. I'll be making a few more batches in a few days.

What PSI do you set it at for this recipe?

It has been 2 weeks now so I am going to try it out tonight, pretty excited since it has been several months since last time I brewed this, and this is the first AG recipe I tried last month

I guess your eff was pretty low? I got over %5abv my first 3 batches.

From a few posts ago I believe he said he used too much water.

Let us know how it turns out!

Yes exactly!

I tried it last night only to find out my poppets aren't sealing properly so it has not carbonated fully in the last 14 days...bummer. But it still tasted great, albeit a bit "light"

 

[treacheroustexan]

First time using gelatin. Brewed less than two weeks ago. Tastes good but I'm sure in a few weeks it will be 10x better.

Good looking beer right there! Cheers!

Did a mini mash, looks good maybe a little cloudy, smells good, but I can't drink it.
I think it's tannins. Maybe squeezed the bag to much?

If it is tannins, it is more likely from overheating your mash. Once above 170 tannins emerge from the husks.
