I was getting uneasy with the amount of time, I'll give them a call tomorrow when they open and see what the go is with it. Welcome to the forum Luke. xpsTech is right. I’ve done 2 Jolly Roger brews now and EOF took 11days each. Brewart Team will sort you out. Cheers , Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll shoot you a private message so we can check out your fermentation stats and go through some troubleshooting steps. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I leave out an ingredient or did you mean total brew time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes brews just brew quicker than another batch, reason why the recipe BrewPint generally states a wide range in the fermentation days.

Dustin Frothman Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 That’s ok, I just wondered if I’d missed something. I’m fairly meticulous when setting up a brew so doubt that I made an error but you never know. Half the duration seems odd. Perhaps I had a very young yeast. The tap water temperature in Brisbane is much higher than Adelaide at this time of year so primary fermentation probably got going pretty quickly. Either way, other than being a bit foamy the first keg was great. I’m looking forward to the second keg when my gear arrives down south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 I really want to know if it did get to EOF or at least add the hops today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Smith Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Hey guys, Liam got in touch with me very quickly and I think the the issue has been identified (My bad, I didn't place the droid on the correct surface so most likely messing with the sensors). As I've already added the hops, I'm cancelling the program, cold crashing it and then bottling in 48 hours! I will let you know how it goes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Drinking really nicely now at 8 weeks. I think this could be the sweet spot for this ale. Very refreshing on a hot Adelaide evening. I’ve got the ingredients for another go at this recipe and might up the hops a little (1.5 x the standard recipe) for some extra kick.

I’m happy with the 20g of mosaic and 20g cascade. Dry hopped 3 days until ready to keg. Edited December 23, 2020 by Captain 3 Droids 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted December 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Still in the fridge, oh boy so enjoyable. Another bloody repeatable brew. No bull another used or cheap droid could be on the radar? Help......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Frothman Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Put this one on again tonight. As per my comments here last time and my notes, 8 weeks is the sweet spot for secondary fermentation and I’ll up the hops. Looking forward to another Pale Ale. If we have a warm April here in Radelaide this one will work nicely before it’s time for the darks.

Dustin Frothman Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Doubled the hops on the standard recipe and let this sit for 8 weeks. Very nice, citrus / mandarin flavours. First home brewed beer enjoyed in the new house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Frothman Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I had a mate over for a beer this afternoon. He’s tried a few of mine now and after a couple he asked me a little about this one and whether I had come up the recipe myself or if it was from a canned extract. I told him it was a supplied recipe made from dried ingredients and that I’d doubled up on the dried hops pellets for some extra zing. ”Oh, you know it’s really nice. It tastes like that Pirate Life Pale Ale in the blue can.” Great success!! 😎 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Love the idea on doubling up. ive just done an IPA and double dosed the dry hops with simcoe in one batch and doubled the dose for a 50/50 of Amarillo/mosaic (copying the hazy daze by garage project) and can’t wait to see what these will smell and taste like. did a lot of blind sniffing and smelling and mucking around and gotta say. Simcoe definately lives up to “dank” often stated. And I predict the Amarillo/mosaic blend is gonna rock!!! also bought a bag of Bravo from the shop to try but after smelling and tasting it I actually just threw it and Amarillo/mosaic dry hopped the English pub draught. Probably sacrilege but to hell with it. ITS MY PUB, and I’ll do as I like 🤣. Let the hops phase of my learning experience roll!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain 3 Droids Posted August 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Just shy of 10 weeks this is certainly a ripper, I dry hop the three recommendations (the “D’s and the H), 15g each of amarillo, Galaxy and mosaic. Great compo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
