Orfy Pale Ale.

[Orfy]

This is my first go at formulating a recipe from scratch.

Marris Otter 6.000kg
Chocolate 0.030kg
Cyrstal 55l 0.300kg
60g Fuggles (4.75% AA, 60 min.)
15g Kent Goldings (5% AA, 30 min.)
30g Saaz (3.75% AA, 30 min.)
30g Saaz (aroma 5 min)
1tsp Irish Moss 5 mins

90 minute mash, batch sparge

1046 preboil
1052 primary

I brewed it on 4th and it looks like it's just settling down now.

wow - thats a very healthy colour although I guess I'm not used to seeing beer through glass. Do you use yeast starters/ aeration? The recipe looks really good.... the saaz & chocolate is a bit unusual?

I aerate form keg to carboy and rehydrate yeast at the start of a brew session. I usually have a merry old dance going on within 24 hours and 80% attenuation within 48 to 72 hours.

So unless I start getting problems, go do a big beer or start using liquid yeast then I don't know if I'll bother with starters,

Orfy, looks good.

You missed the yeast and the mash temp from your recipe details

[Orfy]

Mash Temp. I always use the same.

77c water to mash at 68c

Nottingham English ale yeast. (What was on my shelf at the time)
