AG#6 - Nelson's Ladder

[jonewer]

My plan for Sunday -

6kg Marris Otter
0.25kg Crystal
0.2Kg Flaked Barley

50g Nelson Sauvin - 90mins
50g Nelson Sauvin - 20mins

US-05 yeast

Sounds like a good plan.

I daren't suggest a brew on mother's day. I'm quite attached to my nuts!

Hope you have a great day! :

Lulz - My mother lives in a different country so guess I dont need to cross my legs!

That will be a lovely brew I reckon :thumb:

 

[Wez]

Yeah that'll be nice, good choice on the US-05 :thumb:

If you have any more NS adding some after the boil at 80c for 15 - 30 mins will give you a nice aroma boost

I second that - US-05 and pale, hoppy brews - when it clears, i`ve had one stay cloudy for 5weeks - but its starting to clear a bit in the bottle now :drink:

Ah yeah it's more stubborn than a mother in law staying for Christmas sometimes. But the benefits greatly outweigh having the mother in law staying :thumb: (imo)

Get it nice and cold that'll help

Took me almost half an hour to mash in... I'm knackered!

Next time I'm going to use a small jug to put about half a kilo of grain into the tun at a time, stir and repeat.

Simply dumping the whole lot in results in marathon stirring sessions!

This one is really to check out the NS, unfortunately I only have 100g of the stuff! My first time using US-05 as well. Will be interesting to see how this compares to my previous paley, which should be drinkable in a few weeks time... :party:

 

[jonewer]

Oh dear!

My mash dropped to 59C! Whats the likey outcome of this?

 

[Tony]

Well .. I'd say a temp of about 60 means a more fermentable brew - higher alcohol content. I wouldn't worry!

 

[jonewer]

1.060! :

Bit darker than I wanted though..... maybe overdid it with the crystal.....
