Brew day number 2 Tues 19th January 16
Needless to say my brewday wasn't without hiccups I had chosen a recipe from Brew your own British real ale (hopback summer lighting). Tues morning put 60 odd litres of water on to heat.Crushed grain then went to measure hops I knew i had some Challeger in the freezer so grabbed tem and weighed what i had, went to shed to grab a new pack. I have a storage box full of unopened hops at this point i discovered i had no more challenger. Had a rummage and decided on Citra which i have had for a while but not got around to using. recipe as follows 9240 grmas pale malt (end of a bag) 750 grams torrified wheat 50 grams citra 90 mins 40 Grams Citra 15 mins (pack was light) All went pretty well , was first time using the thermo pot and it held temperature very well and false bottom worked well, very little in the way of deadspace. batch split between 2 fermemters one with S04 the other with Mangrove jack workhorse. Both bubbling away nicely. Will update when bottling/kegging
