4.5kg Maris Otter
1KG Rauchmaltz
150G Chocolate
50G Roasted Barley

17G Northdown 7.6% 60 mins 15ibu
62G Northdown 7.6% 15 mins 15ibu
21G Northdown 7.6% during cooling at 80 degrees for 15 mins

Fermenting with S04

WTF? Ale

I did this yesterday and to be honest i'm not sure what to expect from it but i think it will be horrible or nice but nothing in between.

4kg Golden Promise
200G Biscuit Malt
400G Crystal Malt
250G Munich Malt

40G Cascade 6.8% 60 mins
25 Jalapeno peppers added to the fermenter with one pack of US-05

Edit this is drain cleaner, to many peppers and it's over powering.

Who's your daddy?

I did this yesterday, it's a beer i'll be bottling and putting away 'til Christmas, it's ended up at 1052 and there is still some honey to be added. It's gonna be a monster beer.

5KG Golden Promise
500g Carapils
500g Mealnoidin
60g Nelson Sauvin 13.3% 60 mins
40g Nelson Sauvin 13.3% 00 mins added during cooling at 80c with the IC turned off for 15 mins

When primary is almost complete i'll be adding 2kg of honey and lowering the temperature a couple of degrees in an effort to prevent to much
gassing off of the honey volatiles.

I added 1.05 kg of honey last night (11/07/08) as fermentation had considerably slowed, i'll give it a few more days and do the same again and maybe pitch a fresh pack of yeast

I added the second 1.05kg of honey last night (16/07/08) with a second pack of yeast just in case. It all looks and smells great so fingers crossed on a brew that came to me in a moment of madness lol

Big Kenny

Big Kenny

Another version of big Kenny done yesterday, i got 25L at 1047. Also when the boil was on i kegged my last brew "Gold Fever".
I'm planning on brewing the exact same Big Kenny recipe next week but with a liquid yeast (Wyeast #1335 British Ale II) just to see what all the fuss is about with liquid yeast as i've never used it before, probably because i was to tight to pay for it. I'll make a starter from it on Thursday and hopefully brew again next Saturday
