Timothy Taylors Landlord and New 80 Ltr Shiny (Lots of Pics)

[highwayman]

TIMOTHY TAYLORS LANDLORD
46 Litres
9.12 Kg Maris Otter Pale Malt
90g Styrian Goldings, 3.8% (90 mins)
40g Fuggles, 4.5% (90 mins)
48g Goldings, 5.3 (15 mins)
TTL Yeast

Mash 90mins, Boil 90 mins
OG: 1042

I added an extra 10 Gms of Styrians before racking to FV for aroma purposes :)

This was my first Brew Day using my New 80 Litre Shiny!!!!

Having read threads and having countless pm's with most of you on here!! :thumb: I chose the drain in the base system of the MT using a Stainless Steel False Bottom (provided by John at H & G) :clap:

It was NOT easy drilling through the Stainless Steel.. I am pleased that I took the advice of my learned friends (again!!) on this forum and bought some QMax Hole Cutters..(which were well worth the money!! :)

Hole for the drain fitted :thumb:

I decided I would fit the drain nearer to the edge than in the centre (Like Vossy's) because I thought it would retain more heat and save on copper pipe!! (That's the Yorkshireman in me!!)

Heres the Tap etc

When it came to the Sparger..I found my old one off the Cool box was lost...So again I searched through the threads and I saw this one..which I liked ! (Good job there is no Copyright on here..it would cost me a fortune in fees) :lol: (My old Sparger is for sale if any one wants to buy it!!)

Here is my new system......Its sits just below the grain when sparging

Today's photo Sparger in operation

Oh yes..Nearly forgot..Here she is..80 Ltr Shiny with tap fitted :thumb:

The MT with new SS False Bottom - Fitted like a glove...(Fitting the 50 Odd 3mm Nuts and bolts was fun..NOT)!

Right on with my Brewday (at last you say!!) :lol:

My HLT up almost on the ceiling 2 x 25 Lts of treated Liqour

Tha grain inside MT at 67 Degrees

Reached right PH level (Again thanks to those who asisted with the Water Analysis) :thumb:

First running

Look at the amount of Hops! :)

Now on the boil

Added some more Styrian hops after the wort had cooled..Hope I was suppose to add them at this time :?

The Trub and Hops

The SG came out 1042 ish :?

Here's the colour..Last few drops collected (a bit lighter than the real Landlord)

AND FINALLY.. The end product. 46 Litres in my new 60 Litre FV

Now I will just have to wait to see whether or not my TTL is anything like the real thing..I will keep you all posted :thumb:

I cannot tell you about efficiencies etc just yet..I am just pleased with the progress I have made since joining this forum....Thank You all so much :clap:

I hope you have enjoyed my Brewday and my New Shiny MT : :

[roger the dog]

Great pictures, looks like you've made a good job of your new MT :clap:

I'll be interested in seeing how this turns out as I've got the TT yeast bubbling away in a demijohn ready to split 3 ways before I use it in a brew.

[Aleman]

Nice looking brewery HM

Brave man making beer in a room with a carpet . . . I always spill something on the floor during a brew.

 

[Dunfie]

Excellent work HM. The mash tun looks fantastic.

I'm assuming that a SS boiler is next on the wish list. :grin:

Ur right Vossy..cost me £49.50 :)

Brave man making beer in a room with a carpet . . . I always spill something on the floor during a brew.

It's in the integral garage Aleman !! .....Its only an off cut near the door..to stop muck coming into the house the rest of the floor is lino..:lol: ANYWAY ...SWMBO thinks as the Brewery is expanding I should get a BREW SHED!!!! :rofl:

I'm assuming that a SS boiler is next on the wish list

Yep...that's definately on the agenda Dunfie...but not until this time next year :)

Thanks Guys for the compliments..just hope the beer works out as good :lol:

Fill the area around the copper pipe with expanding foam or loft insulation, once you're happy the seals are good. Then you won't have to worry about heat loss :thumb:
