just got the lastest brew in the fermenter. Recipe for amber ale in the "bible" I have been using up until now (How to Brew). Made it with a mate keen to get into brewing himself. Just waiting for the bubbling to start :) no name for this effort yet, maybe it will develop some character over the next few days.
20 litres
2x 1.5 Brupaks pale malt extract
1kg EBC 60 Crystal Malt
60 min hops - Centennial - 17 IBU
30 min hops - Mt Hood - 18 IBU
15 min hops - Williamette - 8 IBU
Safeale S05
Enjoying playing around with the different hops, all the types I have used so far have their own unique qualities.
Despite not having to mash my last couple of brews have not met the expected OG - the recipies suggests 1.055, I am getting closer to 1.045 using a hygrometer even adjusting for temperature :wha: any suggestions why this is happening?
