Big morning planned - bottling a fresh draught and starting an IPA.
The bottling went well, three more than guesstimated, so a win.
The flow was going well, tunes on the HiFi, dog asleep on the sofa, better half at work - just me and the beer.
Nothing fancy a Coopers IPA kit with extra spray malt. Heated the tin just fine, got warm warter on the go, malt bags open.
When I started to mix the malt with the sugar and content of the tin, it all went Pete Tong. No, not one of his weekend mixes but the spray malt went solid.
Never had I have malt or flower while baking go so rock hard. So I was sure I had killed my brew. But after stirring constantly, in a panic, I think I got it diluted enough too add the yeast.
That put a bit of stress to the old ticker and the day. The OG is bang on target so there is hope. Let's see in two weeks time when I'm bottling it.
