AG#20: Bitter Bitter!
Posted: Sun Mar 01, 2009 10:41 pm
Ran out Marc Ollorson's "Bitter Bitter" today - it's an all Challenger brew and I did it as follows:
Pale 3.86kg
Crystal 230g
Wheat malt 455g
Challenger (7.1%) 50g - 90min
Challenger (5.5% but old!) 20g - 15min
I landed up with about 24L at 1041 so almost bang on
Pitched Nottingham into this one - I was hoping to use the Fullers slurry from my last brew, but it needs another 3-5 days or so to sit and mop up before I think about bottling that one. Still, should be done fairly quickly all being well - it's going into the keg once it has finished.
Piccies as follows:
Good old boil:
15 min hops waiting to be used...
Break and hops after the boil:
Run off into the FV:
Cooling setup:
