Well it's been a year since I last posted a brewday and as I like to look at others brewdays, I thought it was about time I did it again.

It's a rip off of Styrian Stunner with a few changes to suit what i had in stock.

Assisted by Tequilla6, here it is:






Ingredients, notes etc.

Preheating. Grain ready to go.

Hops and mash/sparge water treatments Sparging (fly)

The corny line up. sod all to do with the brewday but they look nice!

Boiling up Cooling.

Leftovers 1.046 (bit high)

In the fermenting fridge at 25C and set to 19C. Lots of hop matter in there.
I usually squirt the first 1/2 litre from the boiler into a jug to clear the hop strainer manifold of hop and trub before running into the fermenter, but my assistant insisted on sampling beers fairly early on in the brewing process.........nuff said.

This was brewed on the 7th and went into the keg/bottles on the 20th at an FG of 1.009. Looks like pond water but smells and tastes fantastic. Looking forward to this one.

Thanks for your company steve (Tequilla6) and for the beer!

Nice looking brewday. I love your brew sheet....

Nice brewday, and a fine set up, much like my own

Thanks adm. The brewsheet is a step by step reminder for me as well as a record should my computer go tits up. (which i doubt because it's a mac )

Cheers steve. I see you like your hops!! That clutch slip looks great.

excellent pics there jubs, I particulary like the 'Cock-ups' section on the brewsheet, very good

Yes, but I notice it was blank

My brewing sheet has a comments section which includes references to any cock-ups. Of my five AG brews so far, two have had at least one.

#1 has an entry that reads "V. slow run-off into FV from boiler - hop filter blocked? No, it had come away from the tap".
#3 reads "Don't plug in the HLT until the water is added !!!"

I see what you did there.....it took me a few seconds though. Good job I hadn't just taken a swig of beer

Nice one Jubby.... Good Photo's, but I suggest that the Cock Ups section should really have have some comments in it like "Sampled other beers too early on in the brewing process"
