What are you doing with homebrew today?

[GFHomebrew]

Brewing with solar, switched to 115v, all I can say is it's very slow to boil

Hey atleast it's free.

If I time my brew day between 10am and 2pm I boil for free it feels good right!

Also started putting together my big rig, it's working, the brew shed just isn't water proof yet

 

[Josh Hughes]

Brewed an IPA with a buddy

Brewing Poor Man GF lager

At 3rd mash step pushing this one a bit more today tightening the mash steps so I can skim down my 3 hour mash to something more normal

 

[GFHomebrew]

Processed another batch of kilned rice malt.

And kilning some buckwheat malt smells really nutty

This should sort another two brews of pale ales

 

[GFHomebrew]

This is how much acrospires come off just 2kg of buckwheat malt

More than a handful there is reasoning that these contribute not very nice flavors to the beer hence why their sived out. I'm just going along with brewing tradition by removing these shoots part of me wants to brew a batch with no effort at all of removing them just to taste and see if there is any merit to this.

There is also some info I've read in the Gluten free brewing community that the acrospires contribute to free Amino nitrogen which the yeast need for cell growth.
Seeing GF grains such as rice and buckwheat are naturally lower in FAN than beautiful Barley maybe this is another reason not to bother removing them.


Hmmm ill have to dig into this ...

I heard they add an unpleasant bitterness. Not the hops kind. Make a spot of tea from them and see what you get?

I've given some a chew quite nice and biscuity .

Honestly haven't thought about making a tea from some though might have to next time around.

Well, just to gauge any bitterness or off-flavours. Chewing would be about the same, except for the little bits left between your teeth...

Mate,
Yer always good to learn a new word about all things brewers. Acrospire sounds like something NASA would use. But it’s just lowly vegetation. Whodathunkit.

Glad to get the old grey matter twitching .

It's a good sounding word aye Acrospires almost as catchy as arcoprop them adjustable supporting steel props I see builders using after my little termite mates have had a wee chew on a building !

 

[Josh Hughes]

I’m about to keg my IPA

 

[Ward Chillington]

What am I doing with homebrew today? I bottled! Mőrk the Mild, my kveik-ie mild. I should have done it earlier this week but... oh well...gotta get to it's Belgium brother later this week.

 

[Herm brews]

I just bottled up my Summer Saison, or should I call it Farmhouse Ale?

Farmhouse inspired? Sure! Somehow Suburban Tool Shed just doesn't have the same ring to it!

If middle age is 50, I've passed that a long time ago.

Me and you both. I miss my 50’s. Didn’t realize how young 50-something was.
