OK. I've decided i'm going to do a Stew and split my brew over two days. Which i think is a very good use of my and my brewery's time. This has come about due to the lack of time i'm going to get over this summer season. But as i'm filling dive cylinders for half my evening i can get 4 hrs of brewing in at same time.
The recipe thus far-i've only worried about the grains, i'll sort out a hop schedule tomorrow. I plan on utilising the first 15L for a strong brew and the rest for a session beer. Wish me luck, i'm going in...
40L batch. Est OG 1046.
4000g MO(mine is poorly crushed and gets about 60% efficiency)
3500 Golden Promise(I like this malt a LOT)
200g Wheat Malt
150g Amber Malt
150g Crystal
50g Brown Malt
This will be mashed for 2 hrs @ 67C. It's a mish mash of malts but i thought i'd try to incorporate a few malts for the first time ever in a pale ale. First time for me that is. Off to weigh out the grains. Feel free to throw up some ideas for hopping. Should i go trad with Fug and Gold or more modern and utilise some of my Fab NZ hops??? I usually aim for about 35-40 IBU's with a Pale Ale thats medium-ish on strength. More for stronger. Silly amounts for Historic. Actually i've got enough Styrians to do a one hop Styrian Pale Ale. I like that idea...
