Brew Numpty
I'm bottling 23L of Coopers Stout with 1kg Youngs BE, 454g of Lyons treacle, 39g German Cascade Hops, 20m boil and added to FV. 4 Tbsp Lavazza instant coffee. Re-pitched Mauribrew yeast + 1tsp YN - OG:1066 - FG:1016. FG was higher than I expected but with my re-pitching the yeast for the first time and the temperature spikes this week I'm not complaining as it smelled lovely and with it ending up at about 6.8% I've no complaints. Tastes very nice in the sample jar and I get to try my first bottle in two weeks. Following this I've put on 23L Youngs Harvest Pilsner, 1kg Youngs BE, 200g honey, 30g Aurora Hops, 20m boil and added to FV, Mangrove Jacks Workhorse yeast + 1tsp YN. OG: 1058. It'll be interesting to see how the Mangrove Jacks Workhorse manages the higher temps, I did this kit in March using Wilko Gervin yeast and very much the same formula so we'll see how it goes.
