Now that I believe!I used to love Rose Monday (Rosenmontag): It would take three days to recover from it!
only 2 days?I lived in the Rhineland, where they took "Karneval" seriously! Start drinking in the middle of the afternoon, finish sometime the next day.
Usually we kept going starting the Thursday before until Ash Wednesday.only 2 days?
Did your mash ph go to plan Llewellyn? What did u use to adjust ph the water calculator on here if so did it line up with your ph readings?Merican Funk got brewed today , numbers worked out, got to use my new pH meter, no boil over temp controller set and yeast givin their marching orders
Good brew day ; if only I could talk someone into doing the dishes
Sort of @Trialben ..used 10% phosphoric acid to drop measured level down to 5.4 .....kinda left with even more questions related to brewing water ...looks like my water is in between all styles to be classified as good ..Did your mash ph go to plan Llewellyn? What did u use to adjust ph the water calculator on here if so did it line up with your ph readings?
Dang ! That is light ...makes fosters look like a stout lolSo efficiency wasn't so good this batch 73% @ 1.044, 3 points shy of my recipe based estimate of 1.047 going by 78% efficiency. Nothing too different this brew. I mashed real low at 61c maybe conversion wasn't fully complete? Same mash volume same boil time doesn't matter too much just less alcoholic . My pre boil was only one point shy of recipe based estimate @ 1.048 I only got 6 points out of the boil maybe this is where it went wrong maybe not as vigorous boil? I boiled 90min as per usual.
How light is this brews colour though! I'm sure it's my lightest coloured brew to date. sample tastes nice too not to high in bitterness.
Nothing but pilsner malt in that one Llewellyn. Nothing for me to hide behind in this brew its chilling atm down to 10c.pitching temp. Ive spun up a decent starter for it so in 24 it should be underway.Dang ! That is light ...makes fosters look like a stout lol
I bought a bag of sodium percarbonate for this brew not cutting corners anywhere on this brew. Well will find out how good my cleaning and sanitation is. LolYet another attempt to clone my go to commercial beer (Coopers pale ale)
i won't even be fermenting this batch but am handing it off to my apprentice in a cube and starter care package along with instructions on how to look after my baby .
Ben mate that looks fantastic !
look after that one until i get there to taste it
Well.you know your going to get great results with floor malted bohimian pilsner malt. I see some recipes with german carahell in them but no need to if sticking true to style.not done a Pils in quite a while now mate , last one i did came out very well but was slightly too dark
