Blog? Hey? WhaT? Wow!
Okay, so..
that wheat with WB-06 turned out kinda iffy. Clove, bread and tart. I’m bailing on this yeast and brewing my next one with good old Wyeast 3068.
Just bottled a witbier, all grain but terrible efficiency so bolstered with a little dry malt extract. Also brewed it with no spice additions and Styrian Goldings & Simcoe on late hopping. That plus a rather warm ferment (high 20′s) makes for a rather interesting beer. Will sample the first bottle next weekend.
Also working on a house beer of sorts, dubbed “quiet ale”. Hopped with Glacier and Goldings, pilsner vienna and wheat malts for the grist, starting gravity of around 1.048 and 28 IBUs. First batch has been subtitled “hazed and confused” because I didn’t have the fridge space to cold condition over christmas and it’s murkier than a duckpond full of ducks.
Brewing an Aussie ale tomorrow, for the Australia day public holiday. Aussie Aussie Aussie!
