Second brew attempt - Redback (Wheat beer)
Redback is Australia's original wheat beer, brewed from both malted wheat and malted barley, and a blend of Saaz and pride of Ringwood hops. The combination of quality ingredients and the care taken by Matilda Bay's brewers resulting in a unique refreshing beer that has a creamy mouth feel and a subtle bitterness on the palate. So sayeth the web site. This may be a better beer to try brewing leading up to summer - to achieve the optimum brewing.
This style of beer brings back fond memories of being kicked out of the Redback Hotel - late eighties/early nineties.
Recipe
Morgans Golden Sheaf Wheat Beer
Brewcraft #10 Brew enhancer
Yeast Safeale/Wheat K-97
Approx 12 g Hallertau Finishing Hops (Will try pride of ringwood next time).
Used the methodology from Brewing crafts. Approx 4 ltres of water.
While stirring liquid kept on heat - low simmer. 10 mins while the hops sat.
Poured 10 ltrs of cold water to the fermenter. Then added brew.
Added hops to fermenter (through fine sieve).
Took to garage and added the rest of the water to make 23 lts.
Temp less than 30 approx 26 when I pitched the yeast, (dry).
OG = 1035-1040.
Sunday - temp dropped to 16 may have to let brew for 10 days at least. As optimum fermentation is 20-30.
