[Niman]

Brewing with a frined and sampling not one of my better ideas.

Recipe

10kg pale
500gms crystal 40
500 tw
100 gms cascade 60mins
100gms cascade 15mins
40gms nelson sauvin flame out

Actual brew went quit well....got a bit blurry towards end.

On the plus side i got my spare gas refilled yesterday morning. Needed it last 15 mins of boil...at this point it tok me a minute to realise pot wasnt boiling.

I always end up quite busy at end of boil....

Washed 3 fermenters

Started to fill one then realised i hadnt sanitised it.


Wort was 1.06 odds

So filled a carboy and bin pitched so4


The un sanitised bin i back liquored and pitched so5 slurry..


Time will tell..

 

[Niman]

tonight i re stocked supplies

25 kg minch pale
4 so4 (no 05 in stock)
2 diff liquid yeasts

[Niman]

Yay how I love bottling

 

[Niman]

Halfway point and seriously losing the will.....

 

[Niman]

Ended up with 112 bottles......
