Single infusion mash at 64\u00b0C, double batch sparge at 78\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
OG 1.050, IBU 38.<\/p>\n
This is based on my OG Sierra Nevada Pale Ale recipe, with all the hops replaced by Galaxy!<\/p>\n
Mmmm… Galaxy. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The mash got pretty badly stuck, but once I’d done a sparge using sieves and pots and crazyness, I noticed that the flow had started to free up.\u00a0 So I took all the wort that I’d collected from the sieve and added it as sparge water at the top, and recollected it, which filtered it a lot better.<\/p>\n
Did a no-chill overnight with a towel on the pot sitting in a tub of water.\u00a0 Pitched a Coopers kit yeast in the morning (kit yeast stamped with PA, which I think is a lager\/ale mix), OG 11 Brix, equating to 1.044, a bit disappointing really as I was aiming for something in the 50s.\u00a0 I used a Coopers yeast because I’m really on a tight schedule for tasting here; I leave the country in a month+2 days, and need something drinkable before then!\u00c2\u00a0 Perhaps I’ll be getting on the flight with a hangover… \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Pitched a second yeast (also stamped PA) when I got home from work, just to make sure.\u00a0 Going great guns the next morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
