Tango's Lightning Pills

Post by Tango Man » Mon Jul 06, 2009 8:10 pm

Been playing around with the Summer Lightning brew and brewed the following today for 25L

Pilsner Malt 5600g mashed at 66c for 90 minutes with 15L of liquer
50g of East Kent Goldings and 20g of Target hops boiled for 90 minutes
10 before end 17g East Kent golding and 1/2 tablet of whirfloc
Post boil 10g of East Kent Goldings

Mash was sparged using water at 85c into boiler and heated to rolling boil for 90 minutes with 32L of wort. At end of boil wort was chilled rapid then left to rest for half an hour before being gravity drained trough hop bed into fermentation vat and then topped up with water to bring it to 25L. Yeast was added, the yeast used was Whitelabs ESB strain second generation.

The SG on this was 1062!! Its clear, and hopefully with some strong yeast should get down to a FG of 1012.
