First brew day in 3 months today! For various reasons I just haven't been able to get around to brewing over the summer until this week so am going to take advantage and try and get a couple in while I'm off work.
Todays was a Cascade Single Hop recipe from the bible, and for the first time in what seems like a long time everything seemed to go really well.
Mashed in at 10am and all finished (including cleaning) by 2:15, must be a record for me:)
Also spot on with the numbers. Got 22.5l into the fermenter at 1.050, another first.
Used a Crossmyloof US Pale Ale yeast. Not used this one before.
Hoping to do a Timothy Taylor Landlord clone on Monday but not sure on what yeast to use for this. I have another US Pale Ale like I used today, a Crossmyloof English Real Ale or a Gervin GV12 Ale yeast. As I like the hops to come out I'm leaning towards the US Pale but open to suggestions.
Need to get a couple done as I have no beer at all and am having to resort to shop bought! It's just not the same.
