My delivery from home brew shop came yesterday so as i have this week off i thought let's get a brew on to day. :)
Decided to do a dark mild .. I really enjoyed wychwood Arrowaine over Christmas but anyway I also wanted to experiment with reducing the mash time and boil time so I did a 45 min mash at 66c a 15 min dunk sparge and a 30 min boil. Was a bit concerned about about efficiency but act og came out 3 points higher than expected so that was alright.
Then I went with a 30 min boil with a single hop addition of FWH fermenting at 20c with mjs liberty bell yeast. Looking forward to see how it turns out, will post the results in due course :thumb:
Anyone else tried cutting down mash and boil times?
