Heating strike water for my golden strong ale. I am going to try to bottle a batch along the way but that means I will need to drink several... I mean, 'empty' several more bottles today!
I’m planning on brewing my first all grain batch of beer this weekend! I’m going to try BierMuncher’s Cream Of Three crops. It’s gonna be a small batch BIAB (2.5 gallon). Although, I’m using grits rather than flaked maize. Regardless, I’m excited and I hope it turns out well!
I’ll be sure to document my experience. Also, I’ll be sure to post a pic of the finished brew when the time comes.Great choice with the cream of three crops.. It is a house ale (usually available) at my place. Let us know how it turns out!
Looks like another Julius batch this weekend, it keeps disappearing so fast it's like someone is sneaking in and filling growlers at night!
Cheers!
Couldn't find Kazbek so used Czech Saaz but just kegged. I used 4lbs of papaya instead. Cut into 1in squares and added at day 2 fermentation. Sample to keg was awesome! Love a simple recipe. Thanks!Glad to! It's a simple grain bill...
5# 2-row
3# wheat
2# flaked wheat
Mash at 150°-152° for an hour
1oz Willamette (5.1aa) at 60 min
1oz Kazbek (4.1aa) at 5 min
Total IBU of 29
Fermented at 65° for 14 days with wlp001
Add apricots (4-5#) after primary is nearly complete (10-14 days).
I pureed and froze the fruit before thawing and adding to beer.
I did this last year with cherry puree. It was very good so I was asked to do it again.
Come on, tripper... Put it back! Lol!
On Friday I brewed up a Best Case West Coast Pale Ale partial grain kit, and taking some inspiration from NewToHomeBrewTom on YouTube, chucked in 200g of toasted coconut at the end of the boil, and will add 200g more once I rack over to secondary. Tried to find a general, easy-drinking beer for most people as I'm brewing it up in anticipation of our first child being born in mid-July, plus I love the idea of adding toasted coconut to get some of that flavor into the beer.
Congratulations on your first child! I am sure I don't need to tell you but once they're born the real work begins!
Coconut pale ale?? Sounds... Intriguing.
