Condor Pale Ale
This was my first AG brew which I did in March this year, and is based on Bathams Best Bitter from Graham Wheeler's book.
4.5 kg Maris Otter
14g Northdown 90 mins
25g Fuggles 90 mins
1 tsp Irish Moss 15 mins
9g Goldings post boil for 30 mins
12.5 l mash @ 64ðC
20 l sparge @ 85ðC
S-04 pitched at 24ðC. OG 1.046
5 day primary. Racked into secondary. 10 days. FG 1.006. Beersmith estimated 4.6% but my measurements put it at 5+, assuming my efficiency was 70ish%. The OG was spit on, so the efficiency wouldn't have been too far out.
Racked into KK for 4 weeks conditioned at 16ðC.
Bottle conditioned with 80g sugar for 8 weeks.
First impressions were I didn't need the priming sugar.
Other than that it remains my best AG to date (I've done 5 now that are fully conditioned).
Very pale, with a slight nutty, slightly caramel makt taste with a delicate hop aroma.
