Made a couple of brews recently and they're fairly lame...
5kg pale malt
250g crystal
40 IBU aurora
40g aurora for aroma
Gervin English Ale yeast
The grain was about a year old - not stored with a lot of care as it was over a house move. First time I've brewed at new house - hard water in this part of Shropshire. Haven't used Gervin for ages. SO many factors that I don't know what the real issue is. Its fairly tasteless, served with cornii at 11'C at 11 PSI. It's actually made my guts feel less than 100% :sick:
Has anyone brewed with grain this old before and had poor results, has anyone had success with old grain?
