Recipe credited to SteveJ who got it from Clibit :thumb: Made a few tweaks.
2.55 kg Irish Stout malt (£1 per kilo)
0.30 kg Roasted Barley (£1.60 for 500g)
0.28 kg Cane Sugar (normal household sugar, 60p 500g)
0.15 kg Crystal 80 (£1.60 500g)
0.10 kg Chocolate Malt (£1.60 500g)
Boil:
27g North Down Leaf (£4.99 100g)
5g Irish Moss (£1.99 50g)
Ferment:
Safale US-05 (Yeast, £3.99)
Total cost £19.40 + ingredients left for further use)
I'm restricted by my pot size (15L) , this boiled down to 12.5L and was projected at 1.054, I measured 1.052 which is pretty good for my first brew. I only sparged around 1L and then used the remaining grains to make a 2nd weaker brew 3% (in demijohn). I topped up to 17.5L to give a reading of 1.042 so my projected strength is around 4% (original recipe was 5.5%)
For 2nd brew I boiled with 5g of Pacific Jade hops (in my fridge from my first brew) and 10g Northdown. I added 200g of sugar and 10g of Liquorice. Just an experiment on grains that would otherwise be dumped.
In the 2L bottles are a Summer Punch, tasted it as I bottled it and both are delicious.
Gonna do a simple Stout next to compare.
