Brew day 6-5-07 Crouch Vale Millenium Gold.

[Road Runner]

This recipe taken from Marc Ollosson's book. Only I substituted the Challenger bittering Hops with Brewers Gold Hops. As I was told recently that Crouch Vale (one of my local breweries) primarily use Brewers Gold for bittering.

4730 gms Marris Otter 90 min mash.

73 gms Brewers Gold 6.1% 2hrs full boil.
Goldings 14 gms last 15 mins

Goldings 10 gms (dry hops in cask)

OG 1042
EBU 35
ABV 4.2%
Safale S-04 yeast used.

This was a 23 litre recipe calculated for 70% mash efficiency. I had to dilute to 25 litres to hit the OG of 1042, so not a bad mash efficiency for me I guess.


I'm thirsty already

75% eh, not too bad, I'm happy with that. Never actually got around to working out my efficiency before, but I nearly always end up diluting to hit the OG in recipes.

I'm actually on the vino tonight, as a tragedy has happened. I seem to be completely out of beer... Or beer that's ready to drink any way.

Well, maybe not a complete disaster, I do have plenty of fermented grape juice & distilled this & that.
