Hi

Im new to this forum so thought I should share a brew day, Brewed a Bitter from brewing classic styles although I had to substitute some special roast as its unavailable here.

Im a BIABer and do a full volume mash and no chill.

Had a little problem with steam not wanting to leave the shed so I used a fan to blow it out the door.

My evaporation rate was higher than expected so Im down 2L. I was two points high on the pre boil gravity so with the extra evaporation I'm probably going to overshoot the OG by quite a bit. When I decide to transfer to FV and pitch ill probably dilute if the OG is more than 1.040.

I would post the recipe report but its from a book as I said "Brewing Classic Styles" and am not sure if it would be allowed.











 
Cheers.

Its an american pale ale hop bursted and dry hopped with Amarillo. Still young only 2weeks in the bottle but its really clear. Wanted to try out flaked oats but ordered malted oats by mistake, chucked them in anyways, at 5% cant really taste it though. Very hoppy little malt backbone smooth bitterness lots of lemon/lime/citrus notes. Dry and with a low body, would be perfect for a summers day.

recipe below if your interested.
