Beer based roughly on the recipe for Adnams Explorer in Graham Wheeler's BYOBRA 3rd ed
Grain bill was increased around 10% as I wanted to use up the end of my MO, the sugar addition was not increased. Black malt addition for colour was omitted.
Hopping was increased as my hops weren't of the best quality and the schedule changed a little.
60g Liberty @ 90
15g Liberty @ 15
25g Liberty @ 0
1tsp gypsum added to the mash and boil
I was brewing at lancssteve's using his kit as my house is a building site at them moment, so the pressure was on to have the house cleaned up before his wife got home.
The Grain
Doughing in
Then a quick break to try Steve's Rye beer. The first time I've ever tried a rye beer.It was good, a bit like a spicier wheat beer I guess. Quite a different flavour to anything I've had before. A touch on the foamy side though...
Start of running off (after recirculating turbid wort)
This was my first attempt at fly sparging, I'm sure nothing could go wrong with this set up :)
The Wort, OG 1052 which was quite a bit stronger than target, also short on volume (19l instead of 23l), still looked and tasted OK.
Grabbed 8 crates on the way there, pies and beer for lunch and clean up on schedule. All in all a good day. Hopefully the beer will turn out OK
