Home Brew Forum

Kicked off about 10am today with a slight variant on the Dave Line 7:1:1 recipe referred to in a recent thread:

4000g Maris Otter
570g Flaked Barley
570g Roasted Barley

57g Goldings - 60 minutes (not authentic, I know, but all I had!)
25g Fuggles - 30 minutes (as above)

Nottingham yeast

The grain bill:


90 minute mash (ooh, it doesn't look identical to the other two at all )


First runnings:


Start of the boil:


Running into the fermenter:


The final results of the weekend's labours: #8 on the right, #9 in the middle and #10 on the left :


I have really enjoyed this weekend, and it has been particularly good to learn more about how my set-up behaves, and getting the chance to repeat things immediately, rather than just brewing once every few weeks (or months!)

With luck, I should have a reasonable supply of decent beer shortly

3 Brews Bring it on ECR....They all look like gooduns too.

Obviously no car rallies in your neck of the woods this week-end

Indeed. It's been all brewing this weekend, for a change

Hope you're doing OK, OB.

Yes, I have. It had to be done, given no brewing since February and hence no decent beer. It was actually Mrs R who suggested doing all three in one weekend. I think she could see it stretching out over several weeks otherwise

3 brews in a weekend! Well done yer mentalist

Well done ECR

Agreed!

There will be no thirsty people in your house soon ECR!

Well done on your dedecation to the art of brewing, nice one!

Into the keg Friday 11/7/08.

OG was 1.051, 23 litres. Fermented down to 1.012.

So, 15 gallons of beer maturing nicely in the garage now

I should be interesting to see how this turns out, keep us posted

nice work ECR, getting those stocks replensihed nicely.

Fantastic. You must be a bit knackered there, but what a brilliant effot. I really hope the beer comes out great.
Having only brewed once today, I realise how tiring it is to brew. Despite the fact that you wait during the mash and boil, you still have things to do. All I can say is thank God I've not got 50+ casks to wash as well

Blimey ECR you've got a real production line going on there! Good work

Please tell me you're not bottling that lot!

Might as well write off another full weekend if you are...

Ooh no!
