OK so it's an extract brew. Limited on space currently, can't be building a mash tun as well, at least not quite yet!
crystal malt
black malt for colour
tasty challenger hops
beautiful rolling boil in now time! Didnt time it but it couldnt have been twenty mins before I had it frothing over the rim and oozing down the washing machine
in goes the cooler and there's all the plumbing
there's the styrian golding aroma post boil hops after cooling slightly. in fact the cooler did such a good job i totally blasted past 80C and down to 50C before i got the hops in
pitchable in under 20 mins, so down it drops into the fermenter
getting the last drops out with the aid of a syphon tube
hop filter worked beautifully and practically no wort remaining
happy with that, bit higher than the recipe suggested
here's the starter solution. I got this going a bit late, so pitched two bottles into the starter. The first was my last remaining brakspear oxford gold (not bottle conditioned now) and the other was my last batch, Timmy Tays, which I also brewed up from oxford gold
finally the immersion heater, not that it's really needed this time of year
looking forward to the results!
