Tomorrow's beer Maxi BIAB - OSH clone

[rich27500]

The bloke I got this recipe off believes if he could only make one beer this would be it. This must be the 6th time I've done and it's a real winner. For those who remember it's the beer from Rich and Dave's challenge.

9.98% Crystal 90 560g

Anyway back to beer, how long do you think this will take to condition, and do you plan to bottle or keg?

8weeks in the bottle although it's awesome after 6 months

Thats a pretty high abv, isnt osh only about 4.5%?

 

[rich27500]

Osh is 5.2% bottled. ignore the figures from brewmate. That grain bill (the actual weights not the percentages) will make 25l of between 5.2 and 5.6% on my equipment. I didn't realise until I looked at my print off this morning that it had adjusted my original recipe up. In fact I'm going to heavily edit the first post!!!

Anyway the mash is on, boil and sparge after dog walk. Should be cubed before 11:00

 

[mmaguy41]

How have you been getting on with the cubes? Where did you get yours?

Must look at what hops I have, love OSH.

I brought a 25l jerry can from betterbuys outdoor shop in wellingborough. You could get two for the same price on eBay I was impatient. Not strictly cube shaped but so far so good. I think it's important to buy food grade hdpe and they do seem to cope with going very very soft!
