So after buying 2 lots of grain last January I never did the 2nd brew, so kicked this off a few weeks ago (8th January)
Not sure what the grain bill was as it was bagged up when I collected it from Brewstore last year!
I had hops in the freezer so here's what I used.
22g Columbus leaf @ 60mins
17g Cascade leaf
8g Chinook
5g Citra
All @10mins
The OG was quite high
So I liquored back with 2 L ofvwater, which left me about 10L in the fermenter.
I ferments with half a sachet of Mangrove Jack's US west coast in my water bath at 20 degrees for 2 weeks.
It fermented right down, looks and tastes like a bitter?!
In the meantime I'd built myself a fermentation fridge (ã20 2nd hand fridge plus inkbird plus tube heater and some bits of wood - you know, from the stick of 'useful bits of wood' all men have in their shed / garage / man cave? [emoji23][emoji23]
A further week at 20, then a few days at 4 degrees before bottling last weekend.
