The recipe I settled on was as follows not because I have a clear understanding of how to build a solid recipe but because I love hoppy ales and have a freezer full of fuggles at the moment:
This wasn't the original recipe but some inaccuracies in AG#1 left my grain stock all over the place.
Due to a late night on saturday I seemed to spend alot of time faffing and pottering around so didn't get the HLT fired up till 11am!
Grain:
Styrian Goldings:
Hit mash spot on at 65.5ºc and lost 0.1ºc over the 90min:
I cant seem to get the run off clear on any way shape or form but its been suggested that it may be the wheat thats causing that so AG#3 will be wheat free to find out if thats true or if its a floor in my method..
I adjusted my evaporation losses and seem to have hit my collected volume and target SG perfectly (sorry forgot to take a pic of that.).
Cooled to 23ºc and pitched S04 starter made as per jim's guide (linked in the top right of this page). 24 hours later and BOOM:
Had to laugh. As I opened the lid to check on proceedings, my 2 year old son ran into the kitchen looked in the FV and shouted "Mmmmmm beer daddy!".
