mash in went great.

rested the bed for aboot 20 mins.
seems to help, and just incase putting rice hulls aswell.
just waiting for mash in to finish!
A amazing aroma from the grains! lovely jubbley!
aimed for 5.58 pH.


do for me!

As you may recall the last brewday testing the new hop filter didn’t go well.
couldn’t scrape the bottom as is just tripped.
this time ok a faff of on!
i filtered slowly to not a cube after sparge n check vol n pre boil SG.
up on volume as i know the losses i needed for transfer back into a clean GF.
still got 27l that i wanted.
up a point on pre boil SG to 1,048.
touch wood! touch my heed!
ramp up for the boil goes without a hitch!

[Manxnorton]

only want to test that hop filter, see if was AS USUAL USER ERROR!
that time it got launched!

 

[Manxnorton]

so with two filters what could go wrong in a 30 min boil.
Saaz at start of boil- whatsitchops tablet a saaz again at 15mins.
10 mins yeast nutrients.
flame out whirlpool and cool to cube temp.

fan is working a treat!
least i made something at last that’s works n not put in the BRIAN’s FAILED BIN/cupboard.

 

[Manxnorton]

Brewday will be on shortly, just editing.
as far as the still spirits boiler FV experiment (spoiler alert)
some good temp readings, and think it’s holding temp mint! from pitching yeast it hasn’t even needed to heat up! obv that’ll change lol.




as far as sign of activity in the blow off tube! it’s getting there! but always said bubblers n blow off is just indication, we’ve all RELIED on them!
i’ll sort footage!

morning all,
Brewday went without a hitch yesterday, a small batch 10l o Norseman Black IPA.
seems the hop filter was great! and a breeze to clean unlike the hop spider.
i’ll sort out pics lata, as prep the Ss Brewbucket mini.
but i’ll leave ya for now with a quick vid i made in the minis & 27l FV.
fittings are practically the same for spare parts etc.

 

[Manxnorton]

the Baltic Porter amazingly holding temp.

acclimated yeast starter and wort in the Norseman Black IPA


no rush just want best environment for the yeasty’s

 

[Manxnorton]

one thing i notice with the Novalager yeast! it’s quick, a bit to go but the sample was amazing and not a hint off off tastes!
the porter has better malt chacheridtics. and heightened by the yeast almost fruity

 

[Manxnorton]

that’s the Baltic porter btw

 

[Manxnorton]

a quick Amber ale

 

[Manxnorton]

i decided to use blow of tube as volume was up!
in the black ipa.
think next brew is going to be a lager of some description.

 

[Manxnorton]
