So groenie... your marzen+ safely tucked away in the fermenting cave?

She's a bubbling away at 25c, hit the numbers on the nose too

Right now I'm making a dough for our authentic neapolitan pizza, it's our NY tradizione. (check out Vito Iacopelli on YT - funny guy, makes good pizza) I should have started yesterday, but I'll proof it for 5h30 then fire up the kamado joe (the proper one not that cheap crap knockoff some safrican brought in from china, i looked at it some time ago, you can bring those in for R1500 - this muppet sells it for ten times the price, with a year warranty lol, the OG has a 25y international warranty)

Need to pop out to the shoppers for some fresh basil, good mozzarella di bufala, fortunately still have some san marzano sauce (check out supersconto.co.za) i'll scour for some other goodies too, but we avoid the shops like there's a plague on the go...anyway that's my new years.

2020 ended with our vacuum robot catching a mouse and dragging it around the house (it was fortunately mopping at time) no blood trails. damn cat must brought it in yesterday

Net deurmekaar!

Seems I have ants in my plugs, lost a plug during mashout so had to dig behind everything to move a few around.

No more blaming your lack of a fridge this year.

Greeting and belated festive season wishes to all.

I too need to pull finger and get a brew going sometime. I did however come to the realization I am enjoying the brew a little too much so maybe 1 brew a month from now on

In fact, no fridge as yet At the moment im carbing the kegs at room temp. Then I fill 1L PET soda bottles (3 at a time) direct from keg with my carbonation-cap-adapter ... stick in fridge to cool. Once cooled I reconnect the carb cap and add more CO² and then let it sit for a few minutes before opening to enjoy. It's a PITA

Beer doesn't get chance to settle out properly this way so I get lots of yeast taste in the beer, but As 'n man dors is, wat kan jy doen

Im quite proud of my recent more healthy brew.... carbonating some water in the keezer for soda on tap. Seems a good use of the equipment that I am not using much anymore, and frankly its a win that its all clean with no likelihood of contamination.

But onto real brewing. This is my next likely plan for an available brew day, which will hopefully be this coming weekend:

Brewed my first NEIPA on Saturday.
Was going to use a lot more flaked wheat than oats, but a 1kg bag of flaked wehat was infected with weavels. (Closet LHBS 120 km)
After close inspection of all my other malts, I was luckily it was the only one infected.
The style does not really call for cara malts but decided to add some, also lower OG, don't like to high an ABV.

DUDE! 60G MAGNUM FOR 60 MIN?
Thats almost 80ibu not 40. Are you ready for this? The rest of the recipe looks good but that magnum!

Already brewed.
80 IBU no serious problem, don't mind very bitter beer, but in this case would have liked it a bit lower.
I did check and for some reason my altitude adjustment is enabled, I keep it disables (i.e. sea level).
Therefore the lower IBU.

Thanks for double checking, else it may have been a while before I realised i.e. after tasting the NEIPA

[Langchop Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Langchop]

Im confused with all those figures? If I go on brewers friend I get 66IBU at 0m and need to increase that to 3300m to get it to 48IBU.

Still seems hella bitter, so luckily you like it like that

[BeerHolic Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close BeerHolic]

I just checked and I get 56 IBU at 0m.

Util Factor = 0.215 (1.05 = 0.235, 1.06 = 0.211)
AAU = 12.8
Volume = 28 liters
Amount = 60 g

IBU = Util factor * (AAU * amount / volume ) * 10
