A little late on the annual barleywine for my son's birthday
Interesting you add the lemon to the mash.Lemon Mash Saison. Wish I had some of @Trialben ’s lemon myrtle. I considered a handful of basil because, well…it’s green and smells good, but I opted not to chance it.

Surprisingly, the lemon still shows up in the finished beer, even competing with the yeast. Balances the Saison spice really well.
And the lemon juice helps with the necessary mash pH adjustment, though I’m admittedly not confident in the calculation. Not like they sell 88% acid lemons in the grocery store.
A good brew day! A super easy recipe without steeping grains and fermentation temp at 90F, so my biggest time bottleneck was waiting for the boil and doing a 20 minute hopstand. And I got to try out the new to me Tilt. Now to figure out the BF integration page... oh and cleanup lol
@Sunfire96 How close to the 1.055 indicated by the Tilt was the OG?
Not really sure, didn't take an OG with a hydrometer or refractometer. I knew my preboil gravity was 1.070 and then used the dilution/boil off calculator to figure out where the gravity went from there (calculated OG of 1.054). I was aiming for 1.053 and the Tilt read 1.052 (1.054 precalibrated) and I thought, good enough! Haha I'm taking a very relaxed approach to my extract brews
it'll be beer!

I did a redo of my blond today...crazy and I keep thinking I screwed up somewhere but today was the smoothest and fastest brew session I think I've ever had! Seven hours with clean up! I'll out up some boil porn for ya @Craigerrr a little later!

Not really brewed, but started about 5.5 gallons of cider earlier tonight. About 1.25 gallons is in a separate bucket, thinking of putting that in the freezer once it's done fermenting
Why are you freezing that portion?
Water freezes, alcohol doesn't
Scavenge the alcohol for some other use?
Use the frozen cider (water) for some other purpose?

Just like sunfire said, I'll skim out the frozen bits every day or so for a few days. Concentrates the flavor and alcohol so it's a bit stronger
2 gallons of Amarillo Kveik blonde is in the fermenter with the recently calibrated Tilt. BIAB seemed to work well on the new-to-me stove, I hit about 68% brewhouse efficiency. I could probably crank up to 2.5 gallon all grain batches if I needed to, but it'd be cozy in my 12 qt kettle

Sounds right to me.

Got that passionfruit beer brewed this arvo.
1080g of passionfruit pulp went In at flame out and is no chilling in the kettle now.
I added it while pump was Whirlpooling kettle bit almost instantly herd it start labouring with the seeds and pulp so killed it quick.
1..040 it came in at.
Used some of that Gladfield German pils malt in this one in place of Golden promise.
Wort has a more grainy tast than sweet malty is what I found from sample slurp.
Only did a 30 min boil on this one Matilda needed a bath and hey that's the beauty of no chill just kill the heat and seal her up come back in the morning when the dust has settled.
