I wont post the recipe, just a few pics.
A couple of unexpected thing's happened to the brew, the first was the Starting gravity. I adjusted the grain bill for my usual 70% efficiency but ended up getting wort at 1.046 rather than 1.040 while getting the correct volume's giving me 78% efficiency. I did not change anything for this brew either just used my usual method.
The second thing was it fermented down very low, giving me a final gravity reading of 1.004 - 1.006 and a 5.21% brew. Not quite the session ale i was after but hopefully a good brew anyway.
I also deviated from the recipe a little as i wanted to give dry hopping a go so i racked after 7 days and added 5g of EKG's and 5g of fuggles for 3 days before bottling. Currently its been bottled for 3 days and i'm fighting the urge to crack one open to see what it's like.
Grain Bill:
Starting Mash temperature:
Hop's measured and ready with the US-05 Yeast:
End Mash temperature:
Batch sparging with the good ol grain bag:
Forgot to take boil pic's so heres the cooler with the last hop editions:
Running off, not as clear as the last brew but not my worst either:
Hopefully lots of oxygen is in it for the fermentation:
Spent Hops:
Muslin bag of fuggles and Goldings for dry hopping:
Hops added for 3 days after racking the beer:
junk in the bottom of the fermentor after racking:
All bottled and clearing nicely:
