That went well Not!
Fermentables:
3kg extra light DME (1.5 kg dissolved in the main boil to darken, 1.5kg to add towards the end of the boil)
500g Caramalt 30*L
250g CaraMunich Type II 120 EBC
Hops:
15g Admiral FWH (end of grain steep)
10g EKG & 5g Admiral 10 mins
10g EKG steep
10g EKG dry hop (probably)
Pitching Nottingham yeast cake once the wort has fully cooled.
The plan was for a 90min main boil of around 12L to come down to 8L before adding the final DME (~3L) to hit target of 11L. Due to a dozy moment I ended up with around 20L in the boiler for the main boil
3hrs of boiling later, including taking 4pints at a time and boiling in a pan on the hob to half volume, I have 10L in the FV, which i may liquor back to 11, once I test the SG. Boilovers left right and centre mean that I may have lost a little
I was intending to do a long boil in order to get some caramelisation of the wort, but not this much :-? This could be like treacle... but I like treacle :thumb:
Time for a beer, I think :drink:
