Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2008 7:30 pm
i had a few bits and bobs of malts and hops that wanted using up, and i've had some cracking milds lately (Bateman's Dark, St Peter's and especially Darkstar Over the Moon) so i did this today:
23L
maris otter 3200g
crystal 250g
munich 250g
chocolate 250g
black 100g
only boiled for an hour
30g fuggles
20g cascade
10g northern brewer
went in at the start
and 10g of goldings went in with 5 minutes to go
1x gervin english ale yeast
bit of a slow run off into the fermenter, other than that plain aleing. got 22L @ 1038. it might be a touch strong and hoppy for a mild, but so is the darkstar, style guidelines are there to be broken.
