Speed up fermentation, typically used for lagers, can be used to self carbonate your beer. Pretty cool thing to read up on

So who's brewing on heritage day?
I'm planning a blonde I'm calling vienna passion.
55% Vienna
Balance marris
+250g chit for head retention
And of course southern passion 30min boil
+5min Motueka.
My hope is the lemon lime of the motueka compliments the passionfruit.
Let's see....
Cheers

I brewed an APA. My OG was 15 points short, so I had to add a lot of DME.
Used Ragnarok yeast that I got from a friend. I am tempted to leave the beer in the garage, but my brain does not like the idea. So it is in the bathtub, with the other APA. This weekend I will be brewing another APA.
I think I like APAs.

I'm thinking an apa this coming weekend sounds good. Raganarok is the Voss strain, likes heat. Mine is bubbling away, pitched at 39c and currently sitting pretty at 30c in the chamber. Give it a go, top crop tomorrow night and you're good for another batch or three.

Sticking to US05 for the moment. Still dialing in my kit so dont want to many variables.
I under evaporated so I added 10min to the boil. Since the pack of Southern passion I have is only 6.5% it didn't add to much ibus.
But I'm way below my target sg. Aimed for 1.047 only got 1.039. Didn't add dme. I'm going to ride it out and see. I corrected for temp on my hydrometer reading. But will check and confirm (that's Way off)
Anyway it should make for an easy drinking beer. I've been looking at APAs, it looks like a good summer beer

Who will be brewing this weekend? I'm doing an American wheat with galena, enigma and citra with a decent dry hop of the last two, after stranda fermentation. Then a craft tonic for the keg, kegging my bitters and next weekend a stripping run on the t500 (if the wash is ready)
Happy days!

Had a nice unexpected mid week opportunity to brew today. Did a SAB pale and T90 Blend SMaSH (only learnt today what smash actually means) I had limited time so shortened and simplified everything:
-45 minute mash
-40 minute boil
-single full boil hopping
-hops just dumped in with no bag
-spilt rehydrated yeast in the rush, but just used the remaining 50ish percent.
-ferment in boilbucket.
-Forgot to turn on SCR to maintain mash temp, but drop was only ~1.5 deg
Pale yellow green colour wort and used S33 yeast. (would have preferred US05 tho)
[4.8kg pale malt, 37g hops, 20.5L wort, 1.050 OG, ave mash temp 64]
Efficiency was back to good figures so got me a nice full fermenter with higher than anticipated SG [despite 45 min mash]. Not sure what the change was, except being new fresh malt. Might be mopping up krauzen overflow again this weekend.
Hoped to do it quicker, but 4 hours beginning to endLast edited by Langchop; 27 September 2019, 08:41.Cheers,

^ Nice one.
I made a sh|t load of SMASH beers when I first started with all-grain and to this day still prefer a SMaSH above some of these more complicated recipes
