Notes


I really enjoyed number3, but was having efficiency problems I think I have fixed now. London pride is under 5% anyway. Staying low on hops, but kicking up malt and fiddling with oats to see if it has a improved mouthfeel effect.

Also messing with the West Yorkshire yeast. I cannot effectively wash the ESB Wyeast so looking around. Going to try Thames after this one.

Notes
======

  • preboil OG was on target 1.059 before I decided to do a mini sparge and it dropped to 1.051; adjusting efficiency accordingly
  • dropped in first addition hop on side while draining; forgot to use spider
  • PH seems roughly on target between 5-6 on strips
