Hello All,

I brewed my first AG batch since I did it for a brief time in 2003.

Here goes with the Recipie ;

4kg Marris Otter
300g Crushed Maize
250g Wheat Malt
100g Caramalt
20g Chocolate Malt, uncrushed, used for colour balance.

Aimed for 20L got 18, nearly 19 at og 1050

2 stage batch sparge, 1 hr at 65.5 deg C

FWH 20g Pioneer / 20g Bobek
10g Pioneer / 10g Bobek after 30 mins
10g Pioneer / 10g Bobek after 75 mins
a further 10g bobek at 'power down'

90 min boil

I was able to take a few pics but not many, was playing Everquest 2 at the same time

The Tun drained after the 2nd batch - that looks like a lot of crap in there, I cant remember getting that with continous sparging ?







The Boiler was flinging it in no time, I was quite impressed, only having one element and all that.



Edit : oop - cold break ; should go here but it wont let me..



More cack at the end of the boil ;



Yeast pack pic for some reason...





Cold break pic out of sequence....

Nice one Parp welcome back! Cracking pics too!

Glad it went well for you.

good pics there Parp, well done

Nice work Parp, great pictures too

Nice looking recipe, should be a tasty one

Good brew there.
All that break trub should help the beer drop bright quickly.

Updates ;

Yeast on Tuesday morning ;




Again on Tuesday evening ;



This evening (Wed) ;



Coopers yeast - anyone used before, this one was packed with a Coopers brewmaster selection IPA, the yeast has also been labelled IPA on the back of the pack - but i presume its the coopers house strain.

Looking good P
