Does the Chinook blend well?

Excellent!! my kind o beer!1

[dreadskin69]

at a mash of 69c, does it taste sweet and heavy?

[brodington]

No not at all, could be my thermometer however as I do trend to struggle to stay above 1010. Unless I mash high. That batch finished at 1012 so you may need to adjust the mash temp to suit your kit /water.

I brewed using this hopmix method again on sunday. slightly different grain bill and similar but different hops:

Grains mashed at 69 deg:
MO 4.1kg
Munich 240g
Crystal (ebc 150) 250g
Wheat malt 300g

Hop mix:
Cascade 50g
Centennial 60g
Simcoe 33g
Columbus 50g

Schedule:
40g as FWH
20g at 60mins
30g at 20mins
30g at 10mins
40g at 5 mins
50g at flame out with 30min steep.

OG was 1045
Big slug of s-04 from a previous batch washed and kept in fridge for a month.

This is slowing down and at 1015 today. It's tasting superb.
