im finding it pointless starting a new thread each time, and other people do this so this is my brew day thread. I still have to bottle my Brut IPA on Friday (https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/australasian-brut-ipa.81438/) but have started a brew today tonuse up what I had ready for my GEB delivery arriving today (and maybe another brew day Friday when my other fermenter is empty).
Today is a Belma APA.
Grain is whatever I had left of my 25kg bag of Propino Malt (I think about 5.75kg, I was just short of having 2 full hoppers on my Bulldog Mill)
Hops are 25g Belma for 60mins and 75g at flameout. I don’t really have enough Belma for a dry hop.
Fermenting with M44 in my Fermentasaurus.
2 “new” things in my brew day today - an Ikea extending sieve to help me drain the bag and sparge; and 1L Sodastream bottles in place of the 500ml Fermentasaurus bottles so I don’t need to do as much dumping (I bought some little kitchen risers from Ikea to raise my FS up to accommodate it).
Mashed at 68C
Just waiting for the wort to come to the boil
