Ha ha ..I’m lucky in that I’ve never needed much sleep, I’m always up early

Mash out in 15 minutes (love an early start)... brewing the house ipa today 🍺

Another Cornish dweller, happy brewing Glyn 🍺

Can’t beat an early start, there’s always the brewers breakfast to look forward to

well, just brewed a second batch as it's going down well. I do pick up the orange citrus from this hop and I'm liking it a lot, so I added some clementine peel to this boil to help lift that flavour a little more, going to be a regular brew for me this one !

over enthusiastic cleaning last brew day I managed to lose an o-ring from the tap on the pico boiler, the tap always bugged me as the tap outlet was close to the body of the boiler, which meant I had to have quite an overhang off the worktop for it to pour into an fv nicely, good time for an...

it has a nice bite to it, and I've heard people say it has an onion taste, I don't get any of that...just citrus, just grabbed another cheeky bottle as it's good, thinking I might brew this again soon as I can't see it lasting long ! brewed a Chinook/Cascade ipa today and chose summit over...

ok I went with 10g Summit @ 60min 20g Chinook @ 5min 20g Cascade @ 5min & 20g Chinook & 20g Cascade had a 20min steep @75deg og of 1.052 for 21ltrs & 32.23 ibu's leaves me plenty to dry hop with :thumb:

not entirely sure i'll use them all :lol: strike water is warming up and I still haven't a definite addition schedule worked out !

4500g of MO 200g TW 300 Dextrine 100g Chinook whole 100g Cascade whole and either Summit or Nugget for bittering Danstar nottingham... recipe to be decided overnight thoughts welcome :thumb:

I think I'll ditch the Caramalt as I want to keep it a smash, but I'll add some dextrin and play around with the torrified wheat / dextrin amounts later on brewers friend, also I'll forget the 45min addition and go for 16g @ 15min for more flavour :thumb:

first time with wheat, I was aiming at 4% as recommended by a local brewer, 100g in 80 ltrs now that is a difference ! I'll see him tomorrow when I pick up my grains and have another word with him about it, cheers :thumb:

Camping mat & sleeping bag for me, hardly drops at all
