Four Priests Murgy straight.

[Baldbrewer]

Having watched Andy's videos on youtube I wanted to have a go at brewing "Murgy straight".
Not the best way to cure a post beer festival head lol so not too many photos;
seem to hit the 1041:

colour looks good:

all tucked up with first use of Ispindel:

Not sure I've ever tasted Talus hops yet, this is one I would like to brew sometime

Can you post the recipe, I might give it a try

me either! but in episode 51 at 3:36 you see those 6 pints on the bar you can almost taste it
they do smell good!

 

[Baldbrewer]

Nice one :) Hope it goes well!

thanks Andy! if it tastes half as good as yours looks it'll be a cracker

For the recipe, watch the following video from 1:30 onwards.



I've already placed an order for the ingredients; can't wait to get it brewed! I'd love a pint of the real stuff, too; I have friends near Macclesfield so I may take a trip out to Middlewich next time I'm over that way

I'll not post the recipe directly because that's Andy's prerogative.

I've got a corney conditioning in my brew fridge. Another week and I will be tasting it

Having watched through all of the Four Priests youtubes, I'm probably going to brew it at some stage. Maybe next summer though. Looking forward to it as I hadn't even heard of Talus before

I only live about 25 miles away i might just have a trip over soon

The deed has been done! Pre-boil came out at 0.039 and post-boil was 0.042 at the target volume (25 litres, 23 in to the fermenter). Given Grainfather suggested an OG of 1.040 and the original recipe suggested an OG of 1.041, it seems efficiency was pretty good.

It looked and smelled epic at all stages, it was a particularly enjoyable brew day where everything went right (for once!). Thanks so much for sharing the recipe @chopps!

It was probably the most fre-running mash and sparge I have ever had - the recirculation tap was at full bore and the level still didnt reach the overflow. Transferring to fermenter was a bit slow because there seemed to be a lot of cold break and hop matter stuck in the filter, but nothing too drastic; it probably got an extra 10-15 minutes with the hop stand hops whilst it was transferring.

One question - when the recipe says "Dry hop at 5 days", I guess that means dry hop on day 5 of the fermentation, then rack (or remove the hops if bagged) after the usual 3 days one would expect to leave dry hops in for?

Bit of a walk home.

We go that way to see the fishman in Sandbach so might call in for a swift one

Cheers! Hope it goes well! I dry hop on day 5 and leave them in until racking.

You’ll need to scale this to your kit, but this is the recipe.
