Wouldn't you want to up the Chinook to 2.75 oz. to balance out the Warrier? Don't sell yourself short on the hops Dude.

 

[Chairman Cheyco]

I thought that after 100IBU you couldn't tell the difference? Looks good all the same though.

:winkie:

Why would you show Dude your winkie?

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

I've got such a bad crick in my neck today I don't even know how's it's hangin'. If I were doing my second weekday brew in a row it'd be damn impressive, though!

I don't know why promash made that 62 minutes. That chinook addition is supposed to be mash hops!

I copied this recipe exactly from Vinnie Cilurzo's notes, so the recipe is spot on Pliny.

Getting ready to sparge now.....

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

Were the Warrior meant to be pellets?

 

[Brewpastor]

Dude, I am glad you have the ability to look around you, see the options and take the course of action that best suits the givens of the situation. When there is grain at the door it is time to brew. I will be interested in the results with the warrior hops. They might be a good addition to my Indigenous Pale Ale.

Have a good day.

 

[Dude]

Yep!



While the grain sat in the mash, I went to the beer store (Bon Vivant) to pick up my case of Hop Rod and the DFH *************. I had two bottles of that reserved but the owner talked me into getting a very interesting beer (2 bucks cheaper, so I was happy). It is a belgian Double IPA tripel, made by Chouffe. I can't wait to try this--alas it will have to wait a few more weeks until SwAMi gets back. I'm really excited to try this one--a tripel, like Chimay, and a double IPA made with American Amarillo, tomahawk and Saaz hops? WICKED!!!!!

BP, I'm excited about the warrior too. Can't wait to use them, and try the results!

I may have to brew tomarrow. I've been off of work with cracked ribs for 7 days now and going nutz. I just need to figure out who I can have come over and do the lifting for me

Ah. I see. Now this is looking interesting.

Pffff....I wish bro, I wish!

I will look you up though when I get back to Milwaukee. We actually stay there for a few days every year. My Mom lives on Waverly over by the lake. We usually catch a Brewer game once a year.

 

[Dude]

UGH...as soon as I get all cocky about my efficiency, it SUCKS. I got like 65% on this batch, TOTALLY not understanding why. I'm wondering if when I recirculated I bored some holes in the grain. Oh well, looks like I boil longer.

Oh darn. RDWHAHB.

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

Did you take the corn sugar into account?

 

[SwAMi75]

Did you take the corn sugar into account?

My vote:

Nope.

 

[Dude]

YEP...

I should be at about 1.054 pre-boil (without corn sugar), I was at 1.048. I boiled it down a little bit, now If I am still low before flameout I'll up the addition of the corn sugar by another 1/4 lb. No big thang.

 

[SwAMi75]

YEP...

Oh. Well then, I stand corrected.

The only other possibility is that you are a crappy brewer.

Seriously though, what base malt did you use? Have you used it before?

I used the Halcyon from the recent shipment. I've never used it before.

Plus, it also isn't helping matters that it is drier than a popcorn fart outside right now. Our RH is 23%. I've boiled off 2 gallons in an hour.

Probably not, but I wonder if the grain itself might be a factor? I recall reading that RR uses the "cheap" Rahr 2-Row for Pliney.

The quick boiloff should be a good thing, no?

You're a Bayview native? $$

I work at te firehouse over on Chase and Euclid (1st and Oklahoma) so I'm in that area alot. I might be getting a temp transfer over to 8th and Hayes soon (8th and Lincoln) but we'll see what Admin wants to do. Since they got me out acting out of title all the time anyways and the boss there is going on 120 days of Military leave it would make sense to put me over there . . . but since it makes sense it probably wont happen

NM, she's a East Towner . . . unless she's up on the one up in the North Shore

 

[Ivan Lendl]

my 2 cents (give or take a penny), are you using standerdized numbers for the malts? some seem on the high side, i rate crystal at 1.030, and corn sugar at 1.040, i know they are basically means (2-row is like 1.033-1.036) its probably neither hear nor there...just a thought.
