Brewday 03.04.07 Quafferish

[subsub]

Wifey has taken the dogs and the kids out for the day and it's my day off, so I decided to brew the recipe for Quaffer by Guildofevil with only the cat, rabbit and my Banshees albums for company

Recipe as follows:

3.2 kg Bulldog Light Malt Extract
394 g Maris Otter
498 g Crystal Malt

85 g First Gold 8.2%AA

Boil time 60min

30 g @ 60min
30 g @ 15min
15 g @ 5 min
10 g @ 0 min

Safale 04

OG 1020

Collected just under 22 litres and couldn't be bothered to top up to 23.



Maris Otter left over from a previous brew.

Steeping the Grains



Coming to the boil



First hop bag in



Second hop bag in



Chiller in for the last 20 minutes



Third and Fourth hop bags in



Transferring to the fermenter



Safely in the fermenter



Time for a couple of bottles of Coal Seam and a well earned ciggy!




Many thanks to Guildofevil for the recipe. I don't think I'll be dry hopping though, the sample I tasted was cracking! Better clear up now, she'll be back soon

Yes Daab, I didn't have any other use for it as I have a 25kg sack of the stuff coming on Thursday. The only reason I used extract at all was that we have recently moved house and I found the tins in a box with my Banshees and Sisters vinyl

it's SWMBO packing regime methinks

... the ciggy looks nice too... must... resist...

I think you may have mistyped the OG though - 1020 sounds rather low (unless you measured the OG when it was a lot hotter than 20 C)

Think so to BD, but I'm not that bothered anyway. It was just put together really quickly and will be drunk in the same way
