Looking good PD, just make sure you don't use more than the prescribed 3 hop cones :lol: :lol:

 

[LeithR]

Sounds like fun PD,

I tried Moose Drool when my son lived in Montana and its pretty good, certainly worthy of cloning/simulating.

Good luck with it.

 

[PD]

er is that 3 WHOLE cones ?........ :?

 

[graysalchemy]

yes

 

[PD]

Mash on at 68C after one or two disturbances 90 minute rest now and I bet nobody knocks at door, rings the phone because I'm free for a while.....

Underlet with my strike water of 13 litres plus 7 litres to fill the space under the false bottom, dont want the grains sitting high and dry during the mash.

 

[PD]

Well the day went well with no untoward problems....and the sun came out....

I boiled it 10 mins longer than I set out ( total 95 mins ) as I'd got a litre and a bit too much volume, ended up with 20 litres at 1055 ( Brix 13.5 )
My target was 20 litres at 1054, so quite pleased with my results.
Should give me around 5.8 or 6% abv. certainly didn't taste bad with my unconventional hops...time will tell.

 

[PD]

N.B.S Ale yeast from the Malt Miller re-hydrated and added at 4.0pm, and by 8.0pm its bubblin away in the brew fridge.....

 

[PD]

final racking and put back in fridge 10c due to time constrint, will be bottled in next couple of days. abv a respectable 5.6%... :party:

 

[PD]

also put 19L of makeson into a corny gassed at 20psi abv = 5%
