Notes

Batch #2 - 18/7/21 (Eff.: 65%, Att.: 80%, ABV: 6.4%)

  • Mash vol.: 31 L, Pre-boil vol.: 27.5 L, Batch vol.: 21.5 L
    OG: 1062 (Refract.) 10 (Tilt) Boil Time: 50 min
    FG: 1013 (Tilt)
  • S-04 yeast dry pitched at 22 C.
    Dry hopped for two days at 10 C before 24hrs cold crash.
    1/8/21 - Kegged and carbed
    3/9/21 - Aroma is mild sweet, smooth but with a thin clean body, very easy drinking with a little hop bitterness and a hint of biscuit. Still pretty good after a month.

    Batch #1 - 11/5/19 (Eff. 56.5%, ABV. - 70% Att.)
    Substitutes
  • Gladfield Ale Malt for Maris Otter
  • Gladfield Medium Crystal for British Medium Crystal (65L)
  • No Liberty hops available (14g @10min, 14g @dry hop), added extra Hal. mf
    Notes
  • First use of Campden tabs added before mash as it warmed to strike.
    19/5/19 - SG: 1017, tastes of subtle biscuit with a hint if sweetness, dry hopped with 20g rather than 14g of Crystal.
    26/5/19 - Kegged and carbed at 30psi for 3 minutes.
    14/6/19 - Tastes light biscuit malt with a light body and hoppy aftertaste, quite a good beer.
