Speedy Brew

[Dronfieldbrewer]

Eh Up,

going for a quick brew tomorrow, weather permitting. If there is a record for the speed of an AG of decent brew length then I would like to start it.

Going from cold tap water in HLT to final yeast pitching for a full 50 litre brew (1 hour boil and 1 hour mash), using at least 20 mins sparge. No corners cut.

I plan to drop the kids off at school and start to set up at 9.15, so not pre weighing or premeasuring liquor and includes setting up the 3 stage brewery in the garden, the lot. I think I can do it in under 4 hours.

I plan to take piccys at strategic points with a watch on to prove the timings.

The brew is a bit secret as its for the Hot Break, I know its at the last minute but the weather has been against me as I brew outside.

Here we go

just after 9.15

Everything set up

HLT upto strike

Doughing in

All doughed in

1 hour mash

Sparging

after hops and the hour boil and after chiller been in, wort at pitching temp

Just about made it with 2 mins to spare...

ended up doing 40 litres as not enough malt for 50 but never the less could be done for full 50 litres within the 4 hours asI did not use bot elements on the HLT

Thanks,

I'm a bit of a watch nerd. I used to have a Rolex Daytona, sold it as it kept losing about 5 mins a week, this one is a Montblanc miesterstruck, its spot on
