with my head in the yeast flask I get a strange rubber like smell from the yeast.

It was all looking Lagery untill the Amarillo showed up... should be good anyway

[simple one]

What's the 35C steep for? Other than that.... very nice.

[GrowlingDogBeer]

Looks good. If them nice people at Crouch Vale let you have some yeast I may have to pop over and steal a little bit of it from you.

[GARYSMIFF]

What's the 35C steep for? Other than that.... very nice.

Been playing about with a step mash for some time and it make my brewday more simple to start around that temp and move the temp up through the B-glucan, Protein and sacchrification rests so my process stays the same(ish) so when I add Oats, Wheat corn, rice etc I get use out of them

Steve did not call them but might in a bit see how I get on

[GARYSMIFF]

FYI I am doing it now, might get another in 2morrow

[GARYSMIFF]

[GARYSMIFF]

Boil complete, Flame out hops in doing their stuff, Hmmmmm Sweet Orange is in the air

[far9410]

mm looks lovely, you made it up? or has it a name somewhere?

[GARYSMIFF]

I Always make it up , normally on the day as I have with my second brew today.

Looks great in the Jar, all I have to do now is wait.
Well drop it in the morning then wait some more.
