So it was finally time to restock and I decided I would use what leftovers there were laying about.
Popped down to the cheap shop who sells homebrew stuff got a Coopers IPA, funny enough it was their last too.
So I brewed up:
1 tin Coppers IPA
1 tin Coopers light malt (had)
500g medium spray malt (had)
~250g of cheap honey from Aldi (had)
~200g of brown sugar (had)
And about ~80g of some random caster sugar that was getting hard in a jar.
Used the random yeast that came with the IPA and dropped in a US-05 (had).
Will dry hop with 25g Saaz, left over from another brew, next Friday.
Mixed it all up in the FV, took the OG and just had a quick look at the numbers since there was plenty of bobbles in the hydrometer. Went into a slight panic - I haven't put enough sugar in - as I read under 1035, forgot all about the bobbles and didn't double check the reading.
Heated up a drop of water, mixed in some white sugar to dump into the FV. As I was pouring in the sweet stuff, it hit me - let the hydrometer rest a bit before reading...
So final reading came to 1060, so lets see how it brews away. Hopefully the temp will drop some more over night pitched it a 21-22C.
