Hi all,
Brewed this today, it's based on a recipe in Jamil / John Palmer's Brewing Classic styles with a couple of substitutions for what I had in stock :-
No pictures I'm afraid - I'll try harder next time
In the mash tun
MO pale malt 5900g (should have been 6200 - that's all I had !)
Munich malt 410g
Torrified wheat 275g (should have been wheat malt)
Crystal 200g
The crystal is in place of victory malt that I've never heard of or seen over here
90 min. mash @ 67°C
Batch sparged & the first addition filled the MT to the brim - I managed to spill some hot water on my hand whilst moving the tun to the 'run-off' position. Good job the kids were at school :evil: :nono:
Anyhoo, a 60 minute boil followed with :-
Simcoe 12.3% A.A. 24g 60 mins
Cascade 6.3% A.A. 9g 10 mins
Centennial 7.2% A.A. 11g 10 mins
Cascade 6.3% A.A. 16g steeped @ 80°C
Centennial 7.2% A.A. 21g steeped @ 80°C
These were all hop plugs from Ross in Aus. & I used my 'Hop-sock' for the first time which kept most of the greenery within it's rubber johnny-esque confines
The downer was that there was no hop bed to filter out the large amount of break material so most of that's now in the FV.
I left about 3 litres of wort in the boiler along with the last of the trub & ended up with 21 litres @ 1.068
That would have been far too strong for a wuss like me so I added water to 25 litres & it's still 1.058
Two 12g packets of US-05 were duly pitched & it's now tucked-up in tha garage next to an empty grain bin - must get up to Leyland soon :P
