Brew day no 2

[Kermit The Grog]

today my bro and me started on the Mob Hoglin recipe from the legendary Corby Brewer
we scaled up the brew by 50% wich got close to the limit of mine boiler altho i realy like the idea of more beer same effort
so armed with plenty of tea

and a few other bits

the brewing commenced

all the grain's weighed out
it was mash on for two n a half hours and because i wanted to lose no heat i wraped it in a duvet

and checked after one hour

by me ktg

and my bro bro

we started the boil and waited and waited and waited

then started drinking more home brew
and because i am worried about breaking stuff

i have a few spares ha ha ha
on a serious note i got most of my measurement's and temperature's correct so hoping i can compare in the future
gravity was 1052 just before pitching the yeast two packet's of so4 one dry one rehydrated fingers crossed from here out oh and i did not leave any tap's open this time or syphon it onto the floor like i did last time
more photo's of brewing to follow so TTFN

As Corby brewer posted in his original thread that recipe by Orfy is tried and tested by brewers worldwide and as said by Corby brewer above it's an almost exact replica of Hob Goblin :)

where did the "nod of the hat to Orfy" go from the original thread by Corby Brewer :shock: he was definately credited for it on the orignal post :?

sorry i was a bit noob but all hail orfy king of mob hoglins

that pot was holding nearly 50 litres at that time ,it took 90 minutes to reach a boil ,and then proceeded to boil away 10 + litres

the mug was a present from mrs ktg and youngling's

[rickthebrew]

where do you get your hops? try Paul at barley bottom (forum sponsor - link at top right of page) if its not stocked and you e-mail and ask he will try to get it for you. I`m always on the lookout for different hops too :thumb:

I've got to say this tastes absolutely fab.

I only have room for 2 g brews- so KTG put my share in my 2g pressure barrel. How long will it keep for?
