Mosaic Pale Ale

[Alastair70]

Loosely based a Brulosophy recipe, this was run out No.2 for the grain mill. The day started by pouring out the fermenter full of the 3% Irish pale that was supposed to be a 4.5% Irish red and setting the rollers a bit closer, I think I mashed a lot of unmilled grain last time round.

All in all, a very enjoyable brew day. I over milled this time, the sparge took almost an hour and i was left 2L short in the kettle and 4 gravity points over expected. After liquoring back everything was back on track. Ended up with 22L in fermenter, OG 1.054. The lupomax hops smell amazing, looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

1 week in at 18C and I’ve hit FG. Smells and tastes of blueberry with none of the diesel that can come with over hopping. It’s getting 36 hours at 22C to finish out and clean up. Then dry hop, cold crash and fine. I’ll be packaging up at the weekend.
