Mick Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hard to tell mate. I messaged the brewart guys and told them what wanted to achieve so gave me the temps to put in for a custom brew. They said stressing the yeast will help achieve what I’m after and they said there are still more “levers” to pull if I didn’t get the desired affect/taste What I will say is that this brew is still very young but my first taste was like wow that’s what I’m after! If you love Weihenstephaner then give this this a go. The guy at the brew shop who seems to be a full bottle said the white labs yeast will make a difference. Happy to post you sum packs of yeast but because it’s already liquid or a “pure pitch” I think it needs to be refrigerated.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain 3 Droids Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Just kegged after 6 day fermentation. A fairly large krausen ring inside the droid so was fairly active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J P Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 On 13/11/21 at 5:26 AM, Captain 3 Droids said: You still have the recipe J P ? BLUE MOON CUSTOM E5 X1 X2 X2 X2 Y1 Or Y5 ferment 22 14gm Corriander Seed 10 Min. (boil) 2 Whole Orange Zest 5 Min.(boil) Instructions: Zest an orange being careful to avoid the white pith (as it is bitter) Boil 1 Litre of water add Coriander, boil for 5 minutes, add Whole Orange Zest boil for a further 5 minutes. Add 9 Litres of water to your BeerDroid, strain in the 1 Litre of Orange/Corriander broth. Start your Ale brewing program and wait for the BeerDroid to drop the temp to 22°C. Add your Yeast and other ingredients and brew as per normal. You may need to adjust the orange peel in later brews but this is a good place to start. 5.5% ABV 12 IBU 10 EBC I did TWO orange peel zests 🍊 cuz I love oranges. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewed a few times now but not reported on for sometime. Will do when ready, it’s a goodie at 4 weeks but probably leave longer ha ha ha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambone Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 FIRE IN THE HOLE. Fourth brew in. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambone Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Well I dropped a TILT hydrometer in with the brew. It was interesting to watch it rise to 1040 OG ( not sure how accurate because it's got to mix itself ) This was 9.30am yesterday. The normal 12 hour propagation cycle had started. However the gravity started to drop by early evening last night. When notified that fermentation had started it was already below 1030. Now it's at 1023. Already. Whatever yeasts are provided they are some of the fastest I've seen. Only Kviek and Verdant seem faster. Love the Droid. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last 5 brews have been 6 and 7 days. The Y5 yeast that apparently loves wheat style brews is active. Yes Love the Droid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Brewing Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 Am I correct in saying the Weissbeir doesn't actually contain any wheat? Just curious, looking at the ingredients and all of them are standard for other beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, looking at the ingredients and all of them are standard for other beers. Does contain wheat, the 3 x X2 is the wheat. (X1= light dry malt; X2 = wheat malt and X3= Amber malt) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
