Just brewed and ordinary bitter (23L), hoping for something tasty and light for the coming Summer.
I'll call it BreadBinder ;-)
4.01 kg Pale Ale Malt
0.27 kg Pale Crystal Malt
0.25 kg Medium Crystal
0.10 kg Chocolate Malt
Used Pacifica 41g to hop to 25IBUs.
5.00 g Centennial [9.70 %] - Boil 15.0 min
5.00 g Nelson Sauvin [12.00 %] - Boil 15.0 min
15.00 g Centennial [9.70 %] - 0.0 min
15.00 g Nelson Sauvin [12.00 %] - 0.0 min
I hit my target of 1040 which was nice, as I expected it to actually be a wee bit lower due to efficiency.

Just smacked pack of Wyeast 1469 for brew next weekend. Gonna brew an old favourite NZ pale ale (B-Sharp) with a different yeast. Yeast is 6 months old so allowing for a few days swelling followed buy a 1.5L starter. Should be a nice Xmas drinker.

It's always good to revisit old favourites Mr C, I did that the other week with a Kid Chocolate.
Are you using a stir plate for that starter?
I borrowed one to wake up the aged Thames Valley II smackpack I bought a few months ago, awesome result. If I'd have had one before I'd have been a bit more adventurouse with liquids
Cheers, jt

No fancy stir plate here I'm afraid. Just a 2L plastic bottle and a shake every time I walk past it. I find putting it half way between the couch and my beer fridge works well :)

I'll let you know how it goes. I've never used 1469 before but I've always enjoyed it in other beers.

Let me know how it goes. I had a go with Ginger Beer Plant last year and it didn't turn out so well. Going to try and wake up my plant again soon and give it another go for the summer.

Just ordered the ingredients for an all-Sauvin Saison to brew next weekend. I'm making 40 litres. I'm going to bottle 20L to drink in January and February, and dose the other 20L with brett to drink whenever its ready.
Grain
Bohemian Pilsner 46.3%
Maris Otter 25.7% (I know Maris isn't to style but I have heaps and don't give a damn about style guidelines)
Light Wheat Malt 25.7%
Caraaroma 2.4%
Hops
Nelson Sauvin 20g at 60min
Nelson Sauvin 10g at 20min
Nelson Sauvin 10g at 10min
Nelson Sauvin 10g at 5min
Nelson Sauvin 100g in hop back (loose whole hops)
Nelson Sauvin 30g dry-hopped 7 days
Yeast
WLP 566 Belgian Saison II
Expected OG = 1.050
Target FG = 1.009
IBUs = 25
Mash at 64C
I'm planning to bottle condition for at least a month before drinking any of it so I don't get too much of an argument between the yeast and all that sauvin. It'll be my first saison and I've based the recipe on what I've gleaned from a bit of googling, so any suggestions welcome.

Cooling off a new world bitter right now. Of course it's at this time I realise I forgot to add the 15 minute hops to the boil, and the 2nd half of the water salts. I think I really need to plan better in my brewdays, because I always seem for forget something!
Never mind, the beer will still be drunk!
