Landlord.
So, following my purchase of some more cornies, it was necessary to get a brew on to fill them up.
The 2 on the right are new and empty, the 2 on the left have just been filled with Caledonian 80/- clone
My recipe for today was
Brew Length 60 Litres
OG 1.050
IBU 33
Grain Bill
12 Kg Maris Otter
0.5 Kg Caramalt
0.5 Kg Wheat Malt
47g Target 60 min
20g Cascade 10 mins
20g Brewers Gold 10 mins
20g Cascade 5 mins
20g Brewers Gold 5 mins
30g Cascade 1 mins
30g Brewers Gold 1 mins
30g Cascade Flame Out
30g Brewers Gold Flame Out
I put the Mash on last night so as to save some time today, I forgot to take any photos of the grain, but here is what was left of it after I had finished sparging. I underlet for the first time, but still had a bit of trouble doughing in, 13Kg of Grain and 30 Litres of water and a cheapo plastic brewing spoon do not go well together. I must get a more substantial stirry thing.
Hops all weighed out
Maxing out the boiler
I didn't drop the camera this time :)
The Hot Break was getting very close to escaping.
While it's boiling time for a quick stock take.
2 cornies on the floor full of Caledonian 80/-, 2 cornies in the kegerator full of SNPA clone and a little bit of Captains Log Pale Ale left in the keg.
Up on the shelf we have some London Porter in the Keg on the left, and more Caledonian 80/- in the keg on the right. Theres also about 40 pints of lager bottled in the other corner of the garage.
Boil finished without any disasters, and cooled for the next hour, I remembered the protofloc tablets this week as well and got an excellent Cold Break.
The wort was lovely and clear, it's the first time I have ever had clear wort, and I forgot to take a picture, it also measure 1.054, so well up on the target.
I transferred the wort into 2 seperate fermenters and tucked them away in my fridges to ferment.
They are both fermenting with US-05, I had planned on using some WLP-022 Essex Ale Yeast, but the starter I made up on Thursday night has only just woken up and started fermenting, I'll split it next week instead and use it in the future.
All in all a most successful day.
