It's been a while since I posted anything here so as I'm hoping for a double brew day today :pray: I thought I'd get them documented!

1st up is 'A Tribute to Tribute'

Ingredient Amount % MCU When
UK Pale Ale Malt 3.171 kg 80.0 % 3.6 In Mash/Steeped
UK Munich Malt 0.793 kg 20.0 % 1.7 In Mash/Steeped

Good luck :thumb: I'm doing the same Sunday Double brew that is.
With that vareity of grains and hops you could make all most anything you want :rofl:

Hobgoblin clone?

Brown ale?

Porter?

 

[Tony]

I am in awe of the amount of gear you have in stock!
I'd say go with the hobgoblin clone.... think I may have to do one myself!
Good luck and have fun!

Cheers chaps. Hmmm hob gob ey!?!?!?!? I do have 1oz of 50/50 cascade/centennial in the freezer left over from dry hopping a yankee red I did the other week. Maybee use those as 'free' hops for a stout ala four shades?

 

[Tony]

cracking idea ..
Go for it!

 

[leedsbrew]

I've gone for a mash/mash-boil/boil brew day. so I've finished sparging the Tribute and have it in an FV while I mash the second brew. Which incidentally is a 'four shades of stoutish'

I'm using the frozen dry hops left over from my yankee red. [-o< [-o< [-o< for about 50IBU's but whatever happens I reckon it'll be drinkable!

Just about to sparge the second one. I'm taking it slow today as I've had other jobs to do and had a couple more Yankee Red's

I didn't see your sig saying your already drinking a hob goblin Fat lot of use Am I! :?

A stout is good and looks good by the recipe :thumb:

Looks good my double is, mash, boil and mash, boil. As soon as the tun is empty and cleaned the next goes in :thumb:

I can run 4 elements at same time so I can get away with it, extends my day by about 2 hrs so 8 in all start to finish clean up.

 

[leedsbrew]

MD that's very very old, I need to change my sig. I haven't done a HG since Aug 2009 Mu bad! LOL

 

[Muddydisco]

Ok then I don't feel so bad!
