Hi All,

Taking avantage of the rain holding if this evening.

Currently mashing.

Want something quickish to mature as the Corny i've currently got conditioning has now been earmarked for a friends 40th. I am also looking for a Landlordish taste/aroma in a session beer.

So:

SG: 1036
FG: 1009
IBU: 35
EBC: 9.7
Brew Length: 25L
Est ABV: 3.5%

Mash: 90ish
Boil: 90ish

MO Pale: 4.2kg
Crystal 60L: 100g
Styrian Goldings (4%) 50g 90mins
Fuggles (3.6%) 30g 90mins
Goldings (5%) 15g 10mins
Styrian Goldings (4%) 35g Steep 80c 20-30mins

Fingers crossed.

hmmm.

Bang goes the session beer.

It was 1037 into the boiler

Methinks I needs to invest in some decent scales

I dunno - I've had some good sessions on strong beer before...

- my Townes was supposed to be a summer quaffer at 4.something% but it's come out at 5.3%... (thanks to the yeast not the grain though!)

Hope it's all gone well

Ended up with around 29 litres @ 1036. I had enough spare Liquor to top up to the intended gravity. Phew!

wrapping the H&G hop strainer in SS mesh seemed to work as well. Must make something more permanent.

Anyhew S-04 pitched from a rehydrated starter, FV in the reliable cupboard under the stairs.

SWMBO is gonna have a fit in the morning when she sees big bertha (60L FV) in there instead of the 30L jobbeh.

I have celebrated by taking a sample from 'The Wiggly One' brewed a couple of weeks back. Mmmmmm challenger, still a wee bit cloudy but it's cold so I have high hopes the US-05 will clear up.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Oh, and I only pitched to sachet of S-04, is that going to be enough?

DaaB wrote:One sachet of SO4 is plenty for 25L right the way up to 1046. You don't really want to over pitch otherwise you wont get the yeast flavours produced during the growth cycle, you don't have to be too exact though and it wont hurt of you do over pitch.

Thanks again DaaB

The yeast head that was there yesterday is all but gone after 36 hours. Has been sat at a constant 22c in the dark.

Rehydrating really seems to give S-04 a kick up the arse. Not to much trub, so looking good.

I'll get round to taking a gravity reading later.

it's down to 1014 already

SO4 will do that with low gravity beers, pitch sufficient, at a fairly warm temperature and It races off chewing sugar as fast as it can.

This got kegged last night as it was sparkly bright and down to 1009.

split over two cornys, about 3/4 full each.

QA Sample taken tonight. It's going to be bl**dy hard not to do anymore QA testing this evening/week!

Yummy!
