Terrified Wheat :lol:

What method did you use for roasting your barley? :thumb:

Never done it before to be honest,I remember making some notes a while back.
Did it the day before I brewed.

Use a 1/3 more grain than you need.
Place em in a shallow tray in the oven.
45 mins.@ 190C
30 mins.@ 220C
30-60 mins,stir @ 30,45,60 mins.
60-90 mins,stir every 10 mins.

Mrs ll came in later and thought I'd been roasting my coffee beans.Got to admit it filled the place with a lovely aroma. :grin:

Was'nt too sure what to expect,but worked out tidy.

No problem repeating this method next time. :thumb:

It's really taken off this morning,going like a rocket.

Lots of movement before I went to bed too.

 

[llannige]

This is what she looked like @ 7.00 this morning.

Cleaned the lens of the camera after that (to get rid of those dots in the pic,dirty lens honest :grin: )

Great brewday post ll, love MO's book

Yeah you're right,I've got loads more to do from it yet.The best recipe book out there I reckon. :thumb:

Just had a peek and she,s down to 1.010 now.Quality control gave the thumbs up on looks and taste and told me to bottle this lot on Sunday.
I will do as Q.C. says. :thumb:

 

[llannige]

Bottling day today.

Cleaned and sterilized.

Transferring to bottling bucket

Priming(D.M.E.+ drained off wort) added when BB was 1/3 full.

Could'nt do without the old trusty bottling stick.+ Mrs ll

Another must have.

All done.

Another tidy brew.
53 bottles @ 4.1% =15.5p a pint :grin:
Brewhouse efficiency 84% on this one.
Yeast attenuation 75.4%.
Will leave it for 4 weeks now,then knock up some labels to complete.
Kept the yeast to bake some bread later in the week. :thumb:

Well happy with this lot. :party:

 

[Wez]

Baked a couple of tidy loaves yesterday using the saved yeast from this lot.
Top stuff too. :thumb:
Still got some left for more loaves. :grin:

 

[Franklin]

Its a nice price per pint :)

 

[llannige]

Finally got round to labeling these.Couldn't decide which one to go for,so I did 50/50.

Super pint,well pleased. :grin: Will do another Marc O recipe in a couple of weeks. :thumb:
