WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Experimenting with how wheat and a crystal malt blend together; a lot of body i'm guessing. Nugget hop and Northern brewer is home grown and also an experiment with how much flavour it produces after being stored for 6 months in freezer.

On a hop note - these are 2year old hop plants which didn't grow at full potential down to age and a bout of mild mildew. Plenty of sticky yellow oil though so should bitter and aroma well, but possibly not comparable to shop bought.

Partial mash BIAB technique following Mashhacks guide on Youtube. Not sure of terminology (correct me) but will have a first runnings of 7ltrs after grain absorption from 10.5ltrs, steeped for 75mins at a start of 75'C, slipping down to around 66'C for the hour.
Adding 16ltr from the tap (South Devon Water) to the removed grain bag, squeezing, then adding this second running to boil for a 23ltr preboil.

Will be adding irish moss at 30mins to see if it creates clarity while keeping the body of the wheat and crystal.

Using a 30Ltr tea urn and attempting it in snow fall, which might help cool the wort if I keep the door open (shut that bloody door!). The copper coil water cooler should come in handy too!

This is a prototype for an eventual refined recipe named Going For Gold (the quiz show from the 90's). Lot's of pale malt in the next one!
