Notes: Gambling that I’d get this brew-day completed before we lost power and water, I brewed this beer to make use of the copious rain and as a distraction from the howling winds during Tropical Cyclone Alfred (Brisbane, May 2025).
It produced an awesome beer. My favourite part is the colour which is best described as “Burnished Copper”. I’d recommend this (overly complicated) grain bill to put with any hops you like.
Importantly, the Shepherds Delight malt is only added for the very last 5 minutes of the mash.
As described here, the beer is very well balanced with sufficient malt sweetness to carry some pronounced bitterness. This was my first use of Mandarina Bavaria hops.
Overall, this beer is eminently drinkable. It is also really good to look at with the light casting a copper sheen as it passes through the crystal-clear beer.
I do routinely use Gelatin clearing (less than 5g Gelatin dissolved in 200mL in boiled water at 66 degrees C dripped onto the chilled beer surface after it has been sitting at -2 degrees C for 48 hours to induce a chill haze).
Extra detail: I used 1.6kg HoppyDays Superblend in this recipe. This contributed 1.36kg Pale malt, 0.192kg Vienna malt and 48g Chit malt) (Leaving only the 2.45 Kg American Ale malt, 0.346kg Vienna malt, 100g Wheat malt, 0.65kg Melanoidin malt and 50g Shephards Delight). Voyager Planet Vienna malt was used rather than the Schooner as listed here.
It’s a shame I’m likely to have to wait another 50 years until I can brew this beer again. Tropical cyclones don’t come this far south very regularly (for which I am grateful).

Notes: Using up some stock of grains and hops to get an English Best Bitter but with a bit of a hit from the hops and the alcohol level. Tweaked the water profile to match light and hoppy. Also the BU GU between 0.5 and 1.
Using Kveik Slurrey from brew 54a which was a low alcohol beer brewed from re-used grains from 54. Nov 24.
Had a stuck mash as the pump blocked. Grains escaping from the grain basket. Slow mash, extended another 10 mins however the sparge was very slow also. Had to stir the grain bed to get it flowing. These grains didn't drain very quickly, ? Muntons Pale Planet a bit gloopy?.
Left to cool overnight which allowed all the gunk to drop out before transfer to Fermenter. Brew at 5psi at 35C.
Hit all the numbers which is a first. 50L in the fermentor at 1.053 which is 77.03% efficiency

Notes: Fermentation schedule from
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhdb5Dz7V-w
- Pitch at 63.5F, then let rise naturally to 68F
- Allow to ferment at 68F until half gravity, then cool it back down to 63.5
- Keep at 63.5 until between 1/4 and 1/5 gravity (?) then cold crash 43F. (Will probably cold crash a little earlier than expected terminal gravity.)
- Cold crash at 43F lasts 2 days then "warm maturation"
- Maturation at 50F
