Gearing Up for Summer.

[JoKing]

Looks like something I would have for breakfast...

OK... see if you guys can guess the style! There are a few clues on the photos that I intend to post.

Brew day went well, I widened my gap slightly as I only had 40% barley malt in this one. I predicted my effiency a bit lower because of this, however it ended up being 83%. i only used 4.5kg of fermentables and ended up with the following...

Vital Stats:

OG: 1052 (I predicted 1050, but my efficiency was up slightly on this one)
FG: 1011 (assuming I get 78% attenuation)
Colour: 6.9EBC
ABV: 5.3%
Bitterness: 19IBU

Le Ingredients Especial

[JoKing]

Dough in and protein rest. I planned to have a stuck mash today. It never eventuated - don't you hate it when things don't go to plan?

[JoKing]

After the protein rest... an infusion to bring mash to saccrification temp.

[JoKing]

First run still looks like porridge!

[JoKing]

After 6liters of recirculation: don't look like she's gonna clear up much.

[JoKing]

Le Sparge... Yes Stu, that is an $18 HLT from Te Ware Whare.

[JoKing]

From the fly sparge to the (you heard it here first...) fly boil.

[JoKing]

End of run... it looks so pretty...

[JoKing]

Pre boil gravity: a bit higher than expected... will need to adjust 1st hop addition for bitter/sweet ballance. Wort looks pretty white.

[JoKing]

Spent... like all my money to make this brew.

[JoKing]

Troooooooooob. Looks like such a waste of yummy yummy hops.
