What did you brew today?

Dunno. ..cheap? I followed the recipe as then there's a bench mark...

Would be interesting to remove the sugar and replace with grain using the calculator to see what effect or notable difference it has on a side by side comparison....

Brewed a Hoegaarden clone today. An A.G. kit from Brewolution. At ������£22ish not the cheapest kits but some of the best IMO.
Since it was a little bit out of date, I made a yeast starter yesterday in case it had died, giving me a chance to find a new packet. But I needn't have worried, it went off like a rocket.
I've brewed 3 kits from them before and they turned out to be the best 3 I've ever done.
Today's day started about 8.30 and finished 2.30 - 6 hours by the time I'm cleaned up. Happily, SWMBO went christmas shopping so - whoopie!! - I had the entire kitchen to myself..! A rare treat indeed..!
It's in the brewfridge now at 20degC :thumb:

First taste of this Hoegaarden clone now 10 days in. Excellent already! Very close to the original I'd say.
Checked SG. ((1.012) Transfered to a clean FV and put it back in the brew fridge for a few more days :thumb:

The ptarmigan is now clucking away nicely in the brew fridge (well I don't know what noise ptarmigan make so clucking will have to do!).

Well yesterday I started my first ever brew. Only a 20 pint Wilko starter kit, but we'll see how it goes and where it takes me...

Here is today's Hobgoblin clone recipe for 24L:

Maris Otter 4.9kg
Crystal 400g
Choc malt 150g
Dark unrefined sugar 500g

Herkules 13g @ 60m

Fuggles 15g @ 15m
First Gold 15g @ 15m

Intended to add the same hopping of F & FG @ 0 mins, but must have been distracted or something as they were still in a bowl as the GF emptied.

So, looks like a hop tea addition to get the length back out to the intended 25L.

On the plus side, got very good efficiency with the low-ish mass grain bill and maybe a hop tea or dry hop will get better hop flavour at the end.

That’s very light on the hops isn’t it ?

Brewed a bitter this afternoon, OG 1044, 25L, 29IBU's, bittered with Target and challenger/EKG at 10 mins. Pitched CML real ale yeast and will probably dry hop before kegging with a few grams of target and challenger. Hopefully turns out nice [emoji106]

I made a cream ale today. Cornflakes and table sugar in the grist, so quite cheap to make, especially as the OG was only1.035. Magnum for bittering and an equal mix of challenger and hallertau mittelfrauh for aroma at 1 min

ASDA Cornflakes. These ones

All the ASDA smart price ones, which are even cheaper, were sold out (I did go to ASDA on the Old Kent Road after all :lol:) else I would have used those
