2 brews in one day!

[Dexter101]

So thought i would try brewing 2 batches in one day, the idea was to put the first mash on, then when that batch was boiling, put the next mash on. In theory it means for an extra hour, i had 2 brews done.

First beer was a ghost ship clone:
1000g maris otter
150g munich
150g crystal
100g wheat malt
50g crystal rye

3g northern brewer -60 mins
3g northern brewer 15 mins
3g cascade-0 mins
3g citra- 0 mins
10g citra- dry hop

Og- disappointingly ended at 1.040

The second brew was an experimental christmas bitter...

1000g maris otter
100g crystal
100g chocolate malt
50g wheat

3g northern brewer- 60 mins
50g dried cranberries- 60 mins

Flame out
50g dried cranberries
3 crystalised ginger in syrup

Og ended up as 1.060!

Tasted good when going into fv....

that cranberry addition will be interesting, haven’t seen that before.

i’m jealous you managed two brews in one day, I’ve been trying to find the time for one brew for a fortnight now and still haven’t done it!

Nice recipes. What batch size are these?

Well cranberries worked really well in a christmas vodka last year so tried to do something similar.

Batches are only 5l! Does make it a bit easier...
