Hi everyone:
Tags:
I'll put in a 2nd for brewmate. Simple one pager for inputting the recipe, then one more page for the brewday calcs. Does leave some stuff out like heat loss from equipment but nothing that can't be overcome after a little practice.
Well, Brew day went ok, nroke my hydrometer, which doesn't help. but i got alot closer. estimations of around 2.5litres which is good, i followed Jokings wort recovery protocol and will de-cant off the trab tonight, and freeze, i can probably even take a reading off of that one i get a new hydrometer.
Sounds much better. Best plan of attack for the broken hydrometer - buy 2, that way you will always have a spare... and therefore due to Murphy's law you will never break one to ever need the spare!
Must of missed Joking's protocol but I just did a similar thing but recovered about 1 litre of wort, pitched a packet of (old) muntons yeast and fermented warm to get it to reach FG quickly, dry hopped with a few pellets, cold crashed, bottled (600ml Sprite bottle) and conditioned - all within <7 days. Just to get an idea how it will turn out. Hopefully it will be good since it was alright even with that shitty schedule!
yeah much better, thanks for all your help matt, and everyone else too!! i'm nearly there. will pick up a new hydrometer, and i need a 5litredemi as well. might have to wait until payday, but i'll get there.
Heres the wort recovery fromjoking: http://www.forum.realbeer.co.nz/profiles/blogs/the-wort-recovery-pr... I got enough wort for the beer, but its good to know this sort of thing and with my hydro broken it'll be good to have when i need it.
Cheers everyone, the fruit beer is on its way, checked before work and it had formed a very small krausen, its been in with dry yeast for about 8-12 hours, and i've noticed that they take 24hours to really get cracking.
tha whirlpooling and siphoning worked a treat too!!
