Cream Ale has never been a thing here in Australia AFAIK. I often hear US based brewers talk about it though. After significantly bastardising Adam Wolfe’s recipe (Beer and Brewer 47) to suit what I have to hand it’s possible I still may not know what the style is all about. Pale malt 62.5%, Vienna 19.5%, Oats 9.8%, Sheperds Delight 4.3% and Toffee Malt 3.9%. #Brewday #craftbeer #brisbane

Tomorrow is a brew day. American Brown Ale this time. #beer #HomeBrew #CraftBeer #BrewDay

My glycol jacket for the keg, which was supposed to arrive on Saturday, still hasn’t shown up. Since I transferred wort around 90F, I let it sit overnight in the cold brewery to finish chilling. Today, still no glycol jacket. So I just pitched a packet of S-04 anyway, and I’m hoping the cold outside temperatures keep this reasonably cool.

Final numbers:
Target 8.5L @ 12.5P/1.051
Actual 8.3L @ 12.0/1.048

Pretty damn happy! And the wort smells and tastes great, lots of berry that I hope comes through in the final beer.

45 minute boil later, added whole cone whirlpool hops, for a 30 minute stand at 60C

Small batches go so much faster. 20 minutes of letting the bag drop, and I’ll already boiling. No heat stick needed this time.

#brewday

Fast mash this time! 40 minutes in I hit my gravity and pulled the bag.

#brewday
Not a ton of hops, aiming for around 40 IBU. Also added mash hops.

#brewday

Small batch today, because the conical is occupied with a Helles. Todays pale ale is all Mecca Grade Lamonta Pale with El Dorado hops.

Looks like a great (we’ll actuallly cold and rainy) day to brew a SMaSH pale ale!

#brewday

Lovely day for a #brewday #ipa in the making

#brewday chilling down to around 30C. (The glycol chiller will bring it down the rest of the way)
