Decided to brew a Pale Ale last Tuesday using the following 9 Lbs Golden Promise 2 Oz flaked barley 2 oz crystal 60L 1 oz Tettnang 90 mins 0.62 Tettnang 60 mins 0.62 Tettnang 30 mins 0.62 Tettnang 15 mins 0.62 Tettnang to finish 1 x pkt Nottingham Yeast 1 Tsp Irish Moss Mashed 4 Imp Gal water at 71C Strike Temp for 2 hrs Sparged with 3 Imp Gal water at 78C to collect 6 gals of wort. Due to my only having 22.5 ltr boilers I boil the first 4.5 Gal with the Hops for 90 mins and slowly add the remaing wort in stages. Irish moss in last 15 mins of boil. Collected 4.3 Gal which was passed through an inline cooler to reduce to pitching temp of 20C Measured original gravity at 1.052 after adjusting brew length to 5 Gal. Final gravity is expected to be around 1.012 when I rack into 2 11 Ltr Cornielus Keg. Bitterness is around 23.7 IBU which I hope is not too low. As for colour Suds say it should be around 5 SRM. Post boil efficiency is 81% giving 5.1% ABV which I hope to better on the next brew whatever that may be. Cheers Wayne |
