Thanks lads. It was a good brew morning evenalthough I didn't start as early as I had hoped.
In the end I managed 71% efficiency so not to bad. I am going to split this one after primary fermentation. I will hive some off and use finings to get it clear as quick as can be so that I can keg and condition in time for the brew meeting on the 19th Nov. The rest will go into bottle.
Now onto the planning for the next brew :thumb:

Hi Chris
I get them from wherever I get the best deal. :grin:
I get my pale malt via a friend who owns a brewery. I usually get various bits and bobs from Paul at Barley Bottom or from Edina Homebrew in Edinburgh. However, for this one I got the cascade from Hop and Grape.

Davie is very helpful
If you want to try some of this batch then come along to the meeting on the 19th November(I know Davie is planning to come along). The more the merrier!

Just checked the gravity and it is down to 1013 and tastes great. :thumb:
I'll give it another day and then move around half into secondary and move to the garage, I will fine it with aux on Thursday and then add isinglas over the weekend (I'm so happy the temeperatures are cold again :lol: ). As soon as it has dropped clear it will be transferred to the wee cornie for some conditioning. Given that it is a pale ale and not too heavy I would think that it will be more than palatable for the SCB meeting on the 19th November.
The rest I will bottle on over the weekend.

Would be good to attend but have commitments on Wednesday nights.
I managed to bottle my Cally 80 last night, seems its going to be a good one. Finished at 1014 which I was fine with, didnt want it too high in abv. Think it works out at 4.2 so actually thats quite good.
Not had the chance to try Cascade hops yet, but heard a lot of good things about them.
Going to get yet another on the go soon. That 3 in one month!

I just tried my first half pint from the cornie and it has cleared perfectly and is rather nice - if a bit green.
That isn't too bad, 11 days to get it fermented, aux'd and isinglas'd and a little bit of condition. I am not advocating this as best practice but it gives my beer a chance to mature before I take it to the SCB meeting in a fortnight. :

Its a common measure used in my house when performing QA. SWMBO believes it only gets filled the once to "check its okay".
