Really wanted to try out this hop as it gets rave reviews, so I made this today:-
1.5kg Maris Otter
1.0kg Light DME
0.5kg Caramalt
0.125kg Crystal Medium
10g NS 45min
20g NS 20min
20g NS 5min
40g NS 0min
60g NS 5 day dry hop
1tsp Irish Moss 15min
20Ltr
OG 1037
IBU 37
SRM 7
Rehydrated US-05 and pitched at 22c
Actually hit 1042 OG, which is about 70% I think. Clibit suggested a finer crush on the grain. I don't yet have a grain mill, but I used a pestle & mortar, which obviously did the trick. Gave it a stir halfway through the mash too, so not much more effort to improve from the 60% of last time.
I also discovered this morning that I have more empty bottles than I thought, so should be ok to bottle in two weeks time.
