Abbot Ale Day

Post by tangoman » Fri Oct 05, 2007 11:52 pm

Done an Abbot Ale clone today,heres the setup.
HLT coming up to temp

Bottom of mashtun
Image

Doughing in
Image

The mash
Image

Start of run off
Image

Start sparging
Image

Let gravity do the work
Image

The infamous hot break, go on my son
Image

First hops going in
Image

Hops on the boil
Image

Imersion chiller in cooling the wort, took 40 mins to cool 10 gal.
Image

Pumping wort into fermenter which is kept in a converted fosters fridge, shiny!
Image

A new gadget for me to try out, I've made a hop strainer out of a spear from a beer barrel (stainless steel) so I can dry hop with loose hops in the fermenter.
Image

Here it is fitted, just pushes onto the back of the drum tap.
'and its shiny'

Nice setup there Tangoman. Looks like everything went swimmingly.

What recipe did you use btw?

and just out of interest, should really make it a poll but how long was the brew day? (trying to cut mine down to 6 hours but failling :lol: )
