American wheat beer
American wheat beer
A nice relaxed brew day today. Tour de France on later, dog to walk and that's about it.
Water treatment in a while but starting the day off correctly:

I'm aiming for a wheat beer with loads of orange flavour.
Medium strength (about 4% ABV) and very pale, with lots of suspended yeast.

I'm making 40 litres, just in case.
Camden tablets added (half in each bucket) Water tested. I live in a very hard water area so 40ml of AMS added Water now ready (40 litres just in case) Few chores to do before I start so water can sit and rest for a while.

Re: American wheat beer
Mash went well. A stepped mash, stopping as 45 c for a while then up to 65 then mash out.
Forgot to check the mash Ph so we'll never know
Then a fly sparge.
If I've one critique about the bulldog brewing system, it's the pump. When doing brews such as this, where there is a lot of small particles coming through (wheat malt) the pump does tend to clog. But I can live with it for the price and it only takes a few minutes to clean out.

Flavouring hops gone in. By gum these Amarillos smell gorgeous.

Re: American wheat beer
Took a while for the yeast to get going - I direct pitched rather than a starter but it's now cementing nicely and the FV is sitting at a lovely 23 c.

Looking for a more permanent home in the house for the brew kit at the moment. Next project on the DIY list.
