May the force be with you Mike. Heard good things TTL.

 

[Dr Mike]

Just finished run-off and sparging. Ditched sparge arm half way through and went to tin-foil method.

Collected 24 litres at 1048 so efficiency looks a little high. Sweet wort tastes OK.

Now just bringing back to the boil.

Don't worry the yeasties will roll their sleeves up, have a party and sort that out pretty quick

 

[Dr Mike]

Boil & cool now done.

Run-off wort has a lot if break material in it, even after recurculating a good few litres. What's best option ? Should I let it stand in boiler for longer ?

 

[carl_saint]

Don't worry, it'll drop out in the ferment!

 

[Baldbrewer]

Welcome to side of darkness

 

[Dr Mike]

Thanks. Looks like yours went well. :

Finished up with 18.5 litres at 1050 so liquored back to 21.5 litres which should be 1043. Now tucked away in the fermentation fridge set to 18.

Kitchen looks like a bomb has hit it.

 

[Dr Mike]

OK. Pics are what this section is all about :

Grain Shot

Doughing In (When I unboxed that mash-paddle I thought it would be far too big but it is a useful size)

[carl_saint]

Great stuff!

 

[PD]

:thumb: a few pictures work wonders... :clap:

 

[Craven Brewer]

Well done, :clap: nice colour and welcome to the darkside.

 

[Dr Mike]

Thanks everyone.

Fermentation is now very active.

 

[Dr Mike]

48 hrs in and the foam has now all gone from the top of the brew and it looks like about an inch of sediment on the bottom. Is this normal for S-04 ? Still bubbles breaking the surface so I think it's still active.

 

[rich27500]

Well that all looks awesome, especially the colour. Like that recipe have made it twice and it's lovely.

 

[PD]

I've used that yeast twice now, and on both occasions the initial ferment has been...er large. it soon settles down and the sediment is good and firm on the bottom. I like it

 

[Baldbrewer]

+1 ,I used notty yeast :
