Forum Crowd pleaser No2.. its the stunner

Post by prodigal2 » Tue Aug 14, 2007 4:19 pm

Ok just over a hour into the mash with the crowd pleaser Styrian Stunner

Brew length 16L
3.2KG pale malt
46grms styrians(3.9%AA) 90min
10grms styrians 15mins
10grms styrians end of boil

IBU's 26ish

S04, or the local micro yeast name unknown

I am so looking forward to this one, as I have heard mainly good things about this brew, I know some of you have uped the hop profile but I am looking for the citrus edge but without to much bittering qualities.

As per usual I have used the batch sparge calc, thanks again DaaB and EskimoBob

Have a great brewday Prodigal 8)

Mine's already all gone :shock: so I'll have to re-live it through yours (just as you did with mine :) )

1 week in primary, 10 days in secondary/corni then 10 days later and we've polished off the lot :lol:

Cheers guys, I have been looking forward to this one :=P

Spearmint, it must be good to polish it of in such quick time. Get your boiler finished and get on another one on :wink:

I have the SWMBO constantly hovering in the kitchen as she just loves the malt smell :lol: :shock: and the constant "what are you doin?" :lol:

oh well an hour into the boil, and I may of accidentally opened some of the house TC, bugger, the end clean up may be a bit slow :wink:

Have a good one P2

I can heartily recommend throwing the rest of the hop packet in at the end of the boil to steep, this gives bags of aroma and no extra bitterness, plus they smell gorgeous.

:shock: :shock: I have 250grms for a 16l brew

well I went with 25grms at the end of the boil, I may dry hop. but I will see in 7 days, all done dusted and moped up. It seems to flow so much better now I have done a few brewdays, learning every brewday :=P

I will in a bit I well be having the first of the sweetcorn with steak and chips for supper, and chaps you may want to close you eyes for a moment, a nice bottle of wine :o

OH yes I nearly forgot OG 1,044 17L, chuffed to nuts 8) 8)

You're evil P2....pure evil :lol: :lol:

I can look the other way just this once! I have certainly found that I have found a rhythm on brewday now I have a few under my belt.

We are getting the tail end of the poor weather you guys are getting, hence why I have been brewing today, I should of been outside shifting stone, ruble, and granite.And as luck would have it a storm appeared, then wort appeared. SO the lesson is every cloud has a beer lining :wink:
