Last weekend I did a double brew day.
The Elusive Spellbinder from Malt Miller - Coffee Porter
Simpsons Finest Pale Ale Golden Promise®™ (4000 grams)
Crisp Brown Malt (700 grams)
Simpsons Malts Crystal Light (280 grams)
Crisp Naked Malted Oats (140 grams)
Crisp Dark Crystal Malt (280 grams)
Crisp Chocolate Malt (140 grams)
Magnum Pellets (15 grams) - 60 mins
Mangrove Jacks M42 Strong Ale 11.5g (2 packs)
I already had most of the ingredients, only needed the GP and Brown. I used M42 instead of S04.
No issues with brew, hit 1.060 into the fermenter, it's down to 1.022 at the moment, I've just transferred in a cold brew coffee made from 150g of Lavazza smooth roast.
I'm fermenting in a corner keg for the first time, temp has been perfect in the house staying steady around 18c. Used a blow off into starsan - had a fair amount of blowoff - probably overfilled the keg. Will be cold crashing then kegging by next weekend.
Other brew was a user upper, based on the All Together IPA from lockdown times. I previously had brewed two batches of the West Coast style but with closed transfer etc now possible using corny kegs I've tried the NEIPA version.
Brew went spot on, getting 1.050 into the keg.
Maris Otter Pale - 3kg
Flaked Oats - 1kg
Carapils - 250g
Comet - 5g 30 mins
Mosaic - 50g 80c whirlpool for 20 mins
Comet - 20g 80c whirlpool for 20 mins
Mosaic - 100g dry hop for 3/4 days
El Dorado - 50g dry hop for 3/4 days
Wai-iti - 50g dry hop for 3/4 days
Endevour - 20g dry hop for 3/4 days
Lallemand New England yeast - 1 pack
Fermenting this one in a corny keg with a Kegland spending valve - for the first 3 days I kept the pressure at 2psi, dry hopping I've increased this up to 15psi. Will cold crash in a day or two.
Have got two clean and sanitised kegs ready to transfer into, looking forward to both of these.
