Brewed a Belgian Dubbel yesterday. Last attempt used Special X instead of Special B and did not work well. Let´s check if it get better.
Chris I do every time I take oneBrewed my Festive Ale this morning so it has about 3 months to be ready for the time of year I really don't want to think about yet.
Why do I always take a taste of the hydrometer sample and then regret it?? Perhaps next time I will learn...
Hi Keith I have a Klarstein fullhorn, you can fill it to line and boil no prob I just knock it down to the 1600w setting once it hits boiling, the full mark is 27L not 30LTried my first 25 L partial extract brew today in my new Klarstein boiler, 1.5kg of coopers pale malt extract, 1.5kg of maris otter malt, 100 gms of hops air dried in sun for 2 days. These are an unknown variety rescued from an abandoned farm & now growing in my garden. Finished with 15 grams of freshly picked hops at shut of time for ten minutes.
Didnt fill the Klarstein boiler right up as its apparent the temperature hunts up & down & it would be a brave man who filled it up to the level line in case it boiled over, so i added 5 litres of water & extract to the fv once it was cooled. Homemade copper pipe cooler worked really well. Got the 10mm pipe from asap supplies & lo it came ready coiled at the right dimensions to fit the klarstein perfectly just bent both ends up to top & pvc pipe affixed.
Well its now all in the fermenter with sarfale 04 yeast, It smells like wort should & even tastes like it too! The hops being an unknown quantity makes it interesting but they were proper oily & smelt good so heres hoping!
Do you regret it because you would like more or that the sample isn't very good yet?Brewed my Festive Ale this morning so it has about 3 months to be ready for the time of year I really don't want to think about yet.
