My Brewdays

[Moe]

The stout has come out really nice, the colour is fine and it’s quite smooth.

I made a bitter last week, that’s just gone into keg:

4kg Minch pale malt
230g crystal 150
170g wheat malt
140g crystal 100
20g roasted barley (I used all the choc malt in my stout)

Mashed at 68C for one hour.

30 minute boil:

30g Bramling Cross (7%) @30
25g EKG (4.1%) @15, and a protofloc
25g each EKG & Bramling cross @5

fermented at 19C with CML Beior.

OG was 1.042
Should be 32IBU, 21EBC

FG was 1.012 making it a sessionabe 3.9%

Its been in the FV for 10 days and came out looking really clear.

I’ve set my regulator to 10PSI, I don’t want this dead fizzy.

Best Bitter v2
Brewed this yesterday.
My last bitter has come out quite nice, so I have brewed it again, but trying Jester & Olicana this time.

Same malt bill as my last one, but with different hops and yeast:

4kg Minch pale malt
230g crystal 150
170g wheat malt
140g crystal 100
20g roasted barley

Mashed for one hour at 68C

The Jester was labelled as 15% AA, which I think is wrong, so I’ve set it as 8% in Brewfather to try and aim for 32 IBU again


30 minute boil:
10g Jester @30
25g Olicana (6.9%) @ 15
20g Jester @15
25g Olicana @5
10g Jester @5

OG was 1.042
IBU:32 ish
EBC: 21

Set to ferment @19C with CML Clipper
