Recipe Generated with BrewMate

First run off produced about 15ltr. I boiled it down a bit to 12.5ltr probably 1107


Pitched with Cropped US-05. Look at the width of that!


In its new little home.


Gyle two is on its way. Must stop for tea so will just leave it boiling see what I end up with. TBC.

They are the ones, I got a couple when they had a free delivery offer on earlier this year. I find that they are quite handy for the smaller lengths and test runs etc.

[WishboneBrewery]

When spare cash allows a couple would be handy.

EYE PATCH Gyle 2

I added 300g of Jaggery Goor because I thought that it would run a bit weak. However, after my tea and a two and a half hour boil. there was hardly anything left.


Got the OG up nicely with the 300g of Jaggery Goor. I reckon about 1065


Wort ran nice and clear. LIke the pic, it ran a continuous stream was really surprised when I saw the pic.


I love the new hop stopper, doesn't even leave a cup full behind and the wort is clear as a bell. It was still running and I could see the metal of the pan.


Ended up with 20ltr. just enough for a cornie


Good brew day all in. It started a bit naff with running out of gas but I ended up with the recipe I wanted with 12.5ltr at 1.1007 and 20ltr of 1.065 from a mash that theoretically would have provided 40ltr @ 1060 80% eff(plus the Jaggery). I am pleased with my efficiency yet again. MAGIC

Well the yeast has got going overnight>

[WishboneBrewery]

ahh haha... *I better got check my Fridge!*

[Spikesdad]

Yeah thats a proper ferment!! Gonna check mine

[leedsbrew]

Nice work mate! Typical US05 and stout combo result that!

[Lugsy]

Messy! I think I'll be putting my fermenter in a big bucket just in case mine goes down that route. Well done on getting two brews out of it, I decided against the parti-gyle in the end but from the efficiency I got I could maybe have managed it.
