Hi Dennis,
What ballpark starting alkalinity should I be shooting for with this grainbill please?
Planning a Citra, Galaxy and Apollo version with your grain bill and hop timings
Cheers

Re: Grainfather first brew - bit of a disaster
Certainly been an interesting little read this thread. I am ordering my GF this week and will be coming from a 3V system, so expect to see a time saving on my normal brewday and clean up, which normally takes about 6 hours. My sparge normally takes about an hour at the moment, so 30 minutes sounds g...

Re: AG#29 - Summer Ale
I checked the gravity on day 8 and day 12, and it was stable at 1.012. Thought it might finish a bit lower, but I'm happy with a 3.7% bitter. The taste from the trial jar was ok, but I wanted a bit more of that nice fragrant taste/aroma that you get from Celeia, so I have dropped a 25g dry hop strai...

AG#29 - Summer Ale
Since my last brew, I have been watching lot's of youtube videos about the Grainfather (the almost all in one brewing system :wink: ), because I need to reduce the physical size of my kit for storage between brews, and I also want to try and shorten my brewday if possible. I also like the ability to...

Re: AG#28 - Fool's Pale Ale (NZ)
I checked the gravity on Sunday morning and any activity from my blow off tube had ceased. The gravity measured 1.013, which I thought was a little high, so I upped the temperature by 2C to 22C and sealed the FV back up. This seemed to bring the brew back to life, as over the next 2 days there was a...

Re: AG#28 - Fool's Pale Ale (NZ)
Snap. Did almost exactly the same thing on Friday. Unfortunately I ran out of MO and had to add a kilo of Vienna to hit my abv target, rest is the same. My NZ hops are Kohatu, Pacific Jade and Nelson Sauvin, the latter being used as a dry hop only. I blagged some yeast at Hook Norton when I was on ...

AG#28 - Fool's Pale Ale (NZ)
I've been wanting to brew something with some NZ hops for a while, so I decided to brew a very pale APA style brew that should be good for late spring/early summer. I was aiming for 23L @1.048, but ended up just short with 22.5L, so quite happy with that, as I wasn't totally sure how much wort the h...

Re: AG#27 - Bleak Winter Mild
I thought that I better update this post with a pint picture and my thoughts on the finished brew, now that it has been in the keg for 4 weeks. I checked the gravity again before kegging/bottling and it was actually 1.014 and not 1.013, so it had finished at 3.10%. This brew drinks a little bit bigg...

Re: (Not so...) Boring Banks's Bitter (AG #7)
This an interesting read, I'm partial to the odd bottle of Banks Bitter, especially when you can pick them up for under £1 in a supermarket! I find it to be quite an inconsistent beer from the bottle, sometimes it is spot on and other times I find it a bit too fizzy and tasteless. Anyway, as I often...

Re: Goblin's Glod - AG #9
I'm easily confused and easily led, tempted to add some Citra to my Malt Miller order! I've got some scales like that, that I use to weigh out my water treatment additions, does look dodgy when weighing out the gypsum. Should be a nicely balanced pale ale then with that bitterness. By the way, that'...

Re: Goblin's Glod - AG #9
Nice looking brew there.
Liking your late hop additions, but why such exact amounts?
What was your final OG and bitterness?
Cheers

Here are a few Brewday pic's. 20180205_091108.jpg 20180205_093417.jpg 20180205_094344.jpg 20180205_120913.jpg 20180205_141655.jpg I checked the gravity last night and it is currently sitting @1.013, so about 3.20% ABV. The flavour was a mix of toasty bread & mild coffee and the clarity looked fairly...

Re: AG#26 - Generations ESB.....but not quite!
It's been a while since I brewed an AG beer, think it was July actually and that didn't turn out great in the end, due to the London ESB yeast that I used :| Can i ask why you say it did not turn out great due to the london esb yeast?? I have some of that i intend on using in my own esb as a change...
