Brewday 16th June Wherry clone

[prolix]

Just put the Safale 04 in very nice day but I need to calibrate my stainless steel as a ruler is not the fastest way to work out volumes

3.8kg Maris
0.4kg Crystal
15l mash @ 67 for 2.5 hours (took the kids swimming)

45g Fuggles 60
30g Goldings 15
30g Styrian 15
Whirlflock 10

got 18l @ 50 efficency 74%


It's going to be a little stronger than I really wanted it, can I add water now it's in fermenter? So that it is 20l @ 45

I've never tried Wherry myself but have heard good things about it. Hope it turns out well for you Prolix.

It looks like a good solid no nonsense recipe to my newbie brewers eyes.

You can add pre-boiled cooled water to the wort before pitching the Yeast(I had to on AG brew 2). After pitching the yeast I am not at all sure.

Looks like a fine recipe

just racked it to secondary at 14, could have drunk this today it is lovely and not yet matured

Don't do a Vossy

oh, go on, go on, go on

It's a good sign though, when it tastes so good so young

going to resurect this.

What was the proposed brewlegth for this?
