Bit of a last minute brew for a club comp, an American Brown Ale with a (hopefully) subtle Chocolate Limes influence.

Not brewed anything cos I've had two on already which I intended to bottle, did the Brewferm triple into 29 330ml bottles, then I was going to do my RIS which I had fully expected to have finished but was still chugging away albeit very gently. I'll check again next weekend and hopefully be able to free up the brewfridge to do a black IPA

Didn't brew per se, but yesterday I zested 32 lemons to make some homemade limoncello, and with the juice, along with the juice of my last batch of limoncello, I made Skeeter Pee - or at least my version of it, with is easier and doesn't need a yeast cake from a batch of wine or cider...

Brewed a brown porter last night and pitched the yeast today along with half a pack of goldings hop powder and crossmyloof UK ale yeast.
Through on a Masterpint IPA from brewsmarter and put together another batch using 1.5kg LME,150g spray malt,1 kg of sugar and added 20g of millennium hops at 60mins and another 24g to finish them off at 10.
Just in the middle of brewing and my Pale ale yeast arrived from crossmyloof so decided to use this instead.Pitched at 2.30pm this afternoon and both bubbling away at 6.30pm and both pitched at 18 degrees and dry pitched in a hurry as I was in the school run today.Should be interesting to see how they turn out ðŸâÂðŸÂº

Did the Belgium brew yesterday a Mr Hughes Pattesbere..... As well as being in the middle of re furbing the front room.... Came out as 1054 instead of 1045 ish so very pleased. Used safale s33 for the first time..its at 22c in the fermentation fridge. Sitting down now enjoying a Greg Hughes american IPA that's coming into its own....

Took a reading as it seems to have settled. SG 1020...so about 5.25% abv? Pleasant, fruity-ish. Looking forward to bottling.

Here's my logic:
1. Started on the 5th means only 11 days fermenting.
2. Nothing in the wort that will not ferment.
3. ABV of 5.25% means insufficient alcohol present to kill the yeast.
4. With SG as high as 1.020 there is no reason to believe that the fermentation is completed.
Personally, I would leave it another week and take another look at the SG. :thumb:

Just popped on a 40 pt brew this morning, after bottling off 24 pints of Aussie Pale Ale.
Today's started as a Geordie bitter kit, kindly donated by a gentleman of this very forum. :hat:
I added an additional tin of LME, just over 500g of dextrose, and a 500g bag of soft brown sugar.
Rocked up with an OG over a touch over 1.060 :whistle:

Just bottled 15 litres of RIS into 40 330s and half a dozen 500s, I can't wait to give this a try in about six weeks it tasted very very promising from the trial jar. Finished at 1.017 and 8.5% so bang on where it was supposed to be.
Now the brewfridge is free I can decide what to do next, got a couple of kits still, got the malt and grain to partial mash a black IPA, and got the all the grain to do my fist 5 planned AG biab brews. Spoilt for choice! Decision decisions...

My advice is to go AG next. You may look over your shoulder and do some kits / Partial Mashes, in the future, but you will never look back.
