Just finishing the adjusted Riggwelter recipe as discussed here viewtopic.php?t=14784

The recipe I ended up using (due to ordering the wrong grain and I also left out the 1 gram of Roasted Barley) was:

4.28 kg Maris Otter
0.55 kg Wheat Malt (instead of Torrified Wheat)
0.37 kg Crystal Malt
0.30 kg Chocolate Malt
0.61 kg Brewing Sugar
26g Fuggles (90 min)
27g Challenger (90 min)
27g Progress (90 min)
10g Goldings (15min)
10g Irish Moss (15 min)
Safale S-04

1 Hour mash at 66c
90 min boil

Just finishing the boil now. Pictures will follow.

Hope it is going ok for you, how is it coming on?

What effect would the 1 gram of roasted barley have had

Precisely why I left it out

Just finished. Everything went smoothly, although I nearly forgot to add the sugar. Ended up with slightly more in the FV than intended. Was aiming for 23 litres but ended up with about 25. Never mind, more to drink.

Will post pics later.

OK

Glad it went well

Glad to see all went well, looking forward to the pics

As promised.

Warming up the tun with the strike water being a few degrees higher than needed:

Bang on the expected 1.058:

It's not the first time that 1g of Roast Barley has come up on Jim's and I reckon it won't be the last

Great photos and hope the finished beer tastes as good as the runnings into the FV look

Great pictures
