Brewing a Marzen, weather sucks and loadshedding doesn’t help

Gass ??

In a country that does not have load sheeding or outages often I would consider electricity

Solar.. saves me money everytime I brew, just have to manage loads. Only downside was that it was raining, so had to make sure the batteries could carry the difference

Would love to have solar but cannot afford it.

Yeah and with what is happening at Eskom, it seems we won't be able to function normally without making some sort of a plan in future.

doing a super simple APA with Columbus and cascade.

i'm using it to prop up some yeast so I can pitch my Cocoa Physco clone in a week on the cake.

I ended up changing the grain bill a bit from the Brewdog recipe as it doesnt make logical sense. they use almost 1.5kg's of Roasted Barley and I never in my life want something that roasty. so this is my take

Wow, that does sound hectic.

Even the 500g in the Guiness Clone isn't to my liking.

You should not get off flavours from a 60 min hopstand

busy mashing this. v2 of my cali common. I'm looking for serious caramel so I'm going all out. I've also subbed what I have so looking to match color and description.

I will be pressure fermenting at room temp, I usually do pressure fermenting in my fermentation fridge but that is occupied by my APA.

Hopefully it comes out alright, based on my research diamond does alright till about 18 when normal fermenting so I'm assuming that it will work lekker at 22-24 whilst pressure fermenting, I will report back whether it comes out like arse or not.

Guys, I think I'm done brewing for 2021. I've got enough Irish Red left over from the competition to last me the last few weeks, I've got enough rum to keep me going, there's still plenty of decent whisky and I'm tired.

I might start up a rum wash before year end, and I might also just start up my cider I have planned (got the concentrate), but regarding making a beer, I'm done. I'll do my yeast test next year when I have some more energy and time. For now, I'm going to spend time with family and friends.

What was the verdict on it? What did the judges say regarding the body?
