1st new grainfather brew

[Chrissparky]

Did my first grainfather brew yesterday. Found it takes longer than the biab I did before. It was a nice experience and did it outside with no hiccups.

 

[Chrissparky]

My recipe was
5250g Maris otter
300g caramalt
500g flaked oats
15g each of galaxy,mosaic and citra at 10 min
50g each of galaxy,mosaic and citra at 0 min
25g each of galaxy,mosaic and citra dry hop for 10 days
60g each of galaxy, mosaic and citra dry hop for 5 days.

Did a stepped mash 40c for 20min then 65c for 60 min.
60 min boil, reduced temp to 80c then whirlpooled flameout hops for 15 min with a paddle mixer.
Got high hopes for this one!
It's in the fermenting fridge at 18c

Looks good!

Quite an adventurous recipe with 500g of oats. I suppose this is the reason for the stepped mash?

That looks like a LOT of hops to me, but, hey-ho, a fashionable beer. :lol:

I'll let you know how good or bad it tastes

That was the reason for the stepped mash

Bare feet?

It is less than a month since I picked the last bit of dried skin off my feet from the blisters I acquired when I scalded myself back around March. :whistle:

The water coming off the grainfather chiller was surprisingly lukewarm hence I wasn't worried

That recipe is right up my street. Should be delicious.
