Notes

First beer using the new malt from a botique maltster on Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. Forget BF esimates, I was expecting an OG of around 1.048-plus and got an OG of 1.038. I checked the crush before and after mashing (which was at 66 Celsius) and the crush was good. Ended up using table sugar to bring the gravity up. Recipe as above but used the Yorke malt instead of Gladfield.

Second batch was exactly as the recipe states using Gladfield light lager malt. Got an OG of 1.052. Postscript: something terribly wrong with this batch, a very noticable fault which I cannot identify yet, probably have to dump this. First impression is that it is a yeast problem and maybe from yeast mutation as this yeast has gone through multiple generations. 2042 is hard to get unfortunately.

These beers take six weeks under tight temperature control, the last week can be after packaging/kegging.
