This Brew is fab, my 1st use of US-05 but the Nelson and the Gold did help, but Hi 5 for the Corn Flakes,Rice and the Grains.

4.5% I expect as i get around 85% Eff but this is a bitof an experiment might be under impressed with %, taste blah blah blah, it ticks the box's for me, I have not made a beer for a few weeks and getting twitchy, in the voice of thinderbirds must........get.........some............grain..........ordered..........from .............Tuckers.

I suppose you could have called it 'Tipsy Porridge'? I can't wait to hear how it turned out

[GARYSMIFF]

Sorry to disapoint, but this has been delayed, spent the day and I mean a Day in the swimming pool( with Cider), I now look like YODA.

I will be taking this up tomorrow from around 16:30, If I can move, I'll sort out the water tonight.
What fantastic weather we have at the moment!


Please watch this space.

Again, I have not managed to complete the beer, I am on call this week and I'm 100% sure as soon as I start the telephone will ring, that said it almost looks after it self, I'll try Thursday as i'm pressing Elderberries with my father tomorrow evening.

PS: he has found me a few HOP bines when out picking, that should be a fun beer as My hops this year have not flowered( I moved them and devided them, so next year may be)

[GARYSMIFF]

As expected got called out to look at an issue in South Africa! so no brew

I have flushed out my system and getting it set up for a friday Mash up. Have ordered another 25 Kg of MO from Tuckers, hope to see it Friday them a B'Holiday weekend of brewing.
But I will brew the FAKE-GOLD-SMIFF Friday.

There's a misquoted Monty Python joke in there somewhere, just screaming to be let loose......

Good luck with the Bling-Smiff tomorrow! I think I'll try and get one on over the weekend - maybe a lager if my yeast turns up from BB tomorrow.

[GARYSMIFF]

Yes, you so called King and your Ka Niggits, I F I Y G D!

[simple one]

Good luck at fining some time!

[GARYSMIFF]

at last we are off, Mashing now.

[GARYSMIFF]

chilling and looking good, sorry no pics as had a few probs.

[GARYSMIFF]

I have moved the brew into a Corni as it has dropped bright.
First tester:

Getting a fantastic clean white wine smell of the Nelson Sauvin poping through with a slight lime citrus sent.
No good at this tasting and describing , I would say a grainy dry but very drinkable even at its age brew, I'm sure more time will change its profile.

But to be able to make a beer from such small amounts of grain, rice and corn flakes ( yes the breakfast grains,tesco value) and it to be drinkable after a few days, I'm V pleased and expect the Safale US-05 makes it clean and dry, my other Brewers Gold (GOLD-SMIFF) brew will help me understand realy how dry the yeast makes the brew.
