Not posted much on here for a few months (sorry about that
) Basically I joined the RAF back in October and i've not had time with all the training. But I've got a week or so off at easter so the plan is to brew a couple of beers and use up some hops i've had stored in the freezer! I've not looked at beer recipes or infact the brewing process in 6 months so I'd appreciate it you'd give these recipes a once over- suggestions are more than welcome!
First brew will be a Stout:
Grainbill
1.00 kg Barley, Flaked (3.0 EBC) Adjunct 19.6 %
0.50 kg Roasted Barley (1300.0 EBC) Adjunct 9.8 %
0.30 kg Wheat, Torrified (3.3 EBC) Adjunct 5.9 %
3.30 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (5.9 EBC) Grain 64.7 %
Hop Schedule
50.00 g Bramling Cross [4.10 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 19.8 IBUs
20.00 g Progress [8.25 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 15.9 IBUs
3.00 g Irish Moss (Boil 10.0 mins) Fining -
20.00 g Willamette [3.03 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 2.1 IBUs
10.00 g Progress [8.25 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 2.9 IBUs
Aiming for 40.7 IBU for a 23L brew length, Fermented with WLP002 (my yeast in the fridge well past it so gonna actually buy some white labs vials for these brews as wont have time for a starter)
Next brew is a Pale ale:
Grainbill
3.80 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (5.9 EBC) Grain 88.4 %
0.50 kg Caragold (12.0 EBC) Grain 11.6 %

3.00 g Irish Moss (Boil 10.0 mins) Fining -
30.00 g East Kent Goldings (EKG) [5.00 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 6.0 IBUs
25.00 g Willamette [3.03 %] - Steep/Whirlpool 20.0 min Hop 2.3 IBUs
Fermented with Neals west coast ale yeast- Never used it before so again any advice welcome
Aiming for 29IBU again 23L at 4.5% ABV
Also, I will use brewnwater to treat my water with salt and acid additions
Cheers Guys,
