The Ramblings of a Canadian Brewer. Making beer, drinking beer, and thoughts about beer. Sunday, July 25, 2010. Do I Need a Better Brewing Setup? Today's brew event was a combination of things. A new recipe experiment for a friend and an attempt at multi-step mashing with a cooler-as-a-mashtun system. The beer is a Patersbier. 6 gal into the primary (planned, 5.25 actual). 9 lb 10 oz Belgian Pils. 6 oz Acidulated malt. 6 oz CaraVienne 75L. Mash @ 112F for 12 min. Mash @ 120F for 25 min (unanticipated).

The Ramblings of a Canadian Brewer. Making beer, drinking beer, and thoughts about beer. Tuesday, August 17, 2010. So when I brewed the Lawnmower Beer. I wondered about the change in volume of water vs. temperature. That's a pretty straightforward analysis so I used EngineeringToolbox. To get some values and made the little calculator below. True, I am assuming that wort behaves like pure water, but for my application I think that assumption is acceptable. Friday, August 13, 2010. 4 lb Minute Rice. 0833 ...

The Ramblings of a Canadian Brewer: September 2010

The Ramblings of a Canadian Brewer. Making beer, drinking beer, and thoughts about beer. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Time for a Schwarzbier. Time for a Schwarzbier. I've always liked the style and the better ones I've tried are nice drinking lagers. I planned to use the yeast cake from the Oktoberfest. So when that quieted down, I racked it and harvested the yeast. This is the third generation of the yeast and likely the last use of it. This time, I took some guidance from Nic. Day 0 (25 Sep 2010).

The Ramblings of a Canadian Brewer: December 2010

The Ramblings of a Canadian Brewer. Making beer, drinking beer, and thoughts about beer. Saturday, December 11, 2010. Lees Stout - 1952. Over at Barclay Perkins a while back, there was an interesting recipe for a session stout: J.W. Lees Archer Stout. And got down to business. Decided to come over and help out that day, so there was more talking and very little notetaking. Nevertheless, I did get all my notes into the spreadsheet. Day 28 (11 Dec). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Shut up about Barclay Perkins.

The Ramblings of a Canadian Brewer: Oktoberfest
http://canadianbrewer.blogspot.com/2010/09/oktoberfest.html
The Ramblings of a Canadian Brewer. Making beer, drinking beer, and thoughts about beer. Tuesday, September 14, 2010. For yeast, I planned to use a portion of the yeast harvested from my Lawnmower Beer. But I used all of it. I know that may be too much yeast, but we'll see. The yeast from this Ofest will be the yeast that I use for my Schwarzbier. 6 gal into the primary (5.75 - 6.0 actual). 9 lb 10 oz Vienna. 1 lb 2 oz Dark Munich. 0625 oz German Hallertau (6.4% AA) @ 75 min. 0820 : Dunnmaische is boiling.

The Ramblings of a Canadian Brewer: Lawnmower Beer
http://canadianbrewer.blogspot.com/2010/08/lawnmower-beer.html
The Ramblings of a Canadian Brewer. Making beer, drinking beer, and thoughts about beer. Friday, August 13, 2010. I'm in a low-alcohol session beer stage right now and since it's summer, it's time to make some lawnmower beer. I've always used some version of Jamil's recipe (80% 2-row, 20% Minute Rice) and have had the best results (taste-wise) with the default recipe. Fletty even gave me a 44 at 1st Round of Nationals, even though he panned the beer at the club meeting. 4 lb Minute Rice. 1050 : Flame off.

The Ramblings of a Canadian Brewer: Back to the Crouch Vale
http://canadianbrewer.blogspot.com/2011/05/back-to-crouch-vale.html
The Ramblings of a Canadian Brewer. Making beer, drinking beer, and thoughts about beer. Friday, May 20, 2011. Back to the Crouch Vale. Haven't brewed in a loooong time. To many other things going on. We had the Upper Mississippi Mashou. T in January, I started studying for the BJCP exam which I took in April, and I've had a lot of personal commitments. I decided, however, to get back to the Crouch Vale. I was slack on the notetaking later in the brew session so my spreadsheet. 0735 : strike h2o @ 137F.
