Brewing tomorrow - a Landlord "inspired" brew but using Maris Otter and (shhhh) a dash of crystal for colour.

Hop schedule is a bit different - Challenger FWH (though I'd give it a go), Fuggles for 20 mins and a whole bunch of Styrian Goldings at power off for some aroma.

Will post up recipe later but as you can see it's a case of "wot not Landlord?".

I'm also going to try any keep the fermentation temp in the lower range as I'm of the opinion that I've been fermenting too warm.

Sounds like a good, hoppy beer.

I brewed a 1.038 all pale, bar 100g crystal, ale today. Hopped with 100g EKG at 60 mins, 30g EKG at 15 and 10g EKG at flame out (switch off). A very simple beer similar to yours.

I hope your brewday goes without a hitch.

Phil - did the new setup go OK ?

Is this brew in the conical or are you going to sort the valves out first ?

Seveneer · Post by **Seveneer** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 5:41 pm

Yes all went well. It's in the conical covered by a blanket as the garage is a bit cold.

I have the replacement beer valve but I haven't fitted it yet. The dump valve gave me a mild heart attack earlier, though. I tightened it right up and started transfering the wort only to see a pool of wort appear under the fermenter. I just happened to find a bag of 1 inch o-rings, one of which fitted beautifully in the valve and it seems to be sealing so far.

We need to sort out a day when you can come over and see it in action.

Sounds good. The sort of beer I like to make regularly. I think I ferment too warm too.....it's a sod, with no decent method of temperature control.

That recipe does sound good - have a good brew day

Nice Recipe Andy, I might give that a go later this morning....I'm getting itchy feet, having not brewed for 3 weeks cos' the outlaws have been staying.

Not sure whether to do this or the styrian stunner - I bought some of the extra pale MO from H&G with that in mind.....

good luck by the way, hope it goes well!

I see you've bought into the adding potasium met to the grist theory, any reason why?

It's an Ant Hayes "trick" to use campden tablets in the mash to absorb oxygen, thought I'd give it a go.

crow_flies · Post by **crow_flies** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 10:31 am

what are the supposed benefits of adding them to the grist?

Post by **Andy** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 10:35 am

Absorb oxygen in the mash, hot side aeration reduction - yadda, yadda, yadda

Hope it goes well Andy.

How are you going to control the fermentaion temp better? I usually ferment in the spare room with the heating off. Gives me about 16C. Courrently I'm fermenting yesterday's brew in the garage wrapped in a blanket. It's bubbling fiercely so it doesn't seem to be too cold.
