Started brewing at 4 pm finished around midnight. Long day but it was this 10 gal ag batch and another 10 gal ag Nut Brown Ale recipe from here.

Pretty pumped to have 20 gal in the pipeline!

A nice combo. Well played.

Update: it has mellowed nicely, I brewed 8 more gallons, still not a fan but it is my "gateway" brew for all the BMC drinkers. I see it's a hit for others so it will be staying in rotation.

I have 5 gallons kegged that i decided to naturally carb with priming sugar. Its for a part on the 22nd so i hope it comes out ok. I noticed at 3 weeks it wasnt as clear as the last time i brewed it. I did have a minir boil over though so maybe there was just more prituen haze this time.

Changed this a bit for fun and had a total of 13.5lbs of base malt, 1.5lbs crystal 15L, and .5lbs carapils. Also instead of willamette i did falconer's flight as that's what I had and added a very small additional at 15 of both and adjusted all amounts so IBUs would stay the same.
Turned out pretty good so far, I just wish I had the original to base off of to see how different they both are.
Good easy and cheap recipe for sure though! Will brew it again for sure!

Sounds like you just brewed Centennial Blonde Ale! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/centennial-blonde-simple-4-all-grain-5-10-gall-42841/

 

[Matteo57]

lol, yeh i guess it's more around that isn't it!

 

[caioz1jp]

So i just tasted my latest batch of this that i naturally keg carbed. I am deffinatly going back to my original recipe were i didnt halve the hops from the original recipe.

OK.

After years of beer abuse, I've sought professional (self) help to cure me of my high alcohol homebrew addiction

I'll be cranking out a nice 8.5 gal batch of this soon. Hopefully my treatment will continue.

Update: I just found the BierMuncher Blonde. Think I'll be going with that instead. Either way -- I'm guessing it'll be a serious hit compared to my other brews (avg 6.5% usually)

I made this, BM Centennial Blonde and Yooper fizzy yellow beer. They are all similar and all good. Pick whichever you like and I think you will be happy.

My batch that I just tapped after sitting a few weeks in the keg...needed some time to attenuate the corn flavor.

Pretty clean flavor

 

[Goyagon]

Would northern brewer be a good substitute for the hops? I assume it wouldn't matter much since their just boil hops but thought I'd ask

They would work just fine.

I must confess that this is the only beer I've brewed more than two times. (batch number 3 is sitting in fermentation camber) Great recipe...thanks for sharing.

Brewed this last night as my 2nd ag batch (first was centennial). My efficiency on that batch was a terrible 63% so I upped the pale malt to 14# and I used normal rice from a rice cooker. Guess since I controlled my temps better helped since my efficiency turned out to be ~76%. Only real snafu was when I went to put my airlock in my first fermenter the grommet popped out into the wort. Reached in to grab it but gave up and let it be. Luckily I had just emptied another so had a spare lid.

I pitched one with notty and the other with safale 05.

Just cracked my first one after it has been conditioning in the bottle for about 4 weeks. Still not super clear, but SOOO easy drinking.

This is the beer I think I will be able to give to my father to get excited about my homebrews. He pretty much exclusively drinks Natty Light, or, when he has a good day of golf and comes home with a little money after beating some friends on the course, he ups it to Sam Adams Light. He has tried a few of my other beers and although he claimed he enjoyed them, I just don't think he was into the styles I had brewed. I think this will do it and will send a 12 pack home with my little brother when he comes to help me brew this weekend.


Thanks for the great (and easy, and cheap) recipe!

My cousin is a Bud light drinker and he loves my AG nut brown ale ( Deez Nuts variety ) . https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/award-winning-nut-brown-ale-376030/
Even more so is the one I can not quite remember how I did it but was American Wheat , probably Brewers Best or maybe an extract coopers or muntons . had to be one of them . I added in rain forest honey and regular honey about 2 pounds worth and DME . Very good after a couple months in bottle .
I have to get on making this cream ale it sounds so good .

 

[rod734]

Iv made this this several times but this time I used an ounce of Columbus
hops and it is very good if you like the citrisy grapefrute finish.

 

[lex990]

I'm gonna brew this this week. I have extra summit and magnum left over. Would either of these do ok with this brew? I thought about summit adjusted to these ibu's

 

[CDGoin]

So I am taking it this would work well as my first all-grain brew..?

Without going deep into reading 100+ pages.. Will the BIAB method work good on this one..?

This was my first AG brew, and I biab. Love it! Just kicked the keg on my third batch of it, need to brew more!

 

[CDGoin]

Mind me asking (I know it maybe deep in the 100+ pages) but

Whats are the adjustments you made for BIAB

Brew as is. No adjustments are needed for biab

 

[jrb03]

I agree, I'm not sure what your asking about adjustments. Just follow the recipe!

I've heard of some people adding about 1 lb of base malt to account for very low efficiency with BIAB. However, if I do a very fine crush I get 75% or a little better with BIAB. Therefore I don't really think that's necessary.

As a side note, I have this recipe in primary right now. I can't wait to taste it!

 

[BorealBrewer]

I have my first gallon of this cold crashing. It's the first time I've tried to make something like a really light ale or lager in about 10 years - and my gawd, as it sits in the cold and clears...wow. It looks amazing. It's like a yeasty upside down lava lamp of beery goodness.

Thank BM and everyone on this thread for the recipe and inspiration!

 

[BorealBrewer]

Sorry -double post.

 

[orion7144]

Just kegged the first half of this that I used notty on. Other half i used us-05.

I do not want to hyjack this thread but I am interested in your BIAB thing . I brew small amounts , a couple pounds or so for adding to no boil kits . I just crush them as normal and steep them in a gallon or so of water for 45 minutes and pour through a strainer into bucket . Would this be about the same end as BIAB ?
