Hello fellow brewonaughts.
A couple of days ago I had my first brewday in 4 months. And when you are panic brewing there are 2 types of beer that fit the bill, a mild or Phils Hefe. Seeing as I had no wheat malt, and I think the tittle of the thread is a giveaway.
The Grist is one I have used before and the proportions are loosely based on Dave lines Amazing mild.
Mashed @66C for 70mins
boiled for 60mins
2.3kg pale malt
60grms roast barley
60grms chocolate
120grms crystal
40grms Amber
50grms TW
360grms Demerara sugar
18grms Challenger FWH
15grms Goldings @ 80C
S04
fermenting at19C
my target was 20L @ 1,040 I got 21L @ 1,038
I will be serving this from my 5L wine boxes and a few bottles for the Brown ale store.
Brew day had a few moments, I started late due to clients hassling me for stuff, my 5L jug disappearing, the replacement I went out and bought had a leak :evil: and to top it all I could not find my test jar for my hydro :cry: :evil:
This will be my first mild with S04, seeing as the last few have been with Nottingham, so I hope this should be a corker, on the last few milds I have mashed at 69C trying to compensate for the nottingham.
