Day off = 10 gallons of SWMBO Slayer
|
|
So with the whole week off (forced for cost savings) I am going to get some brewing done! I decided on 10 gallons of SWMBO slayer AG. The only difference from the recipe is it will be split into two fermenters and one will by Wit Ale Yeast and the other will be Wit Ale 2. Should be interesting to see the difference. Usually I let my water sit for a day before brewing to let the Chlorine evaporate but this is last minute sooo I'm going to boil the water to get it out hopefully.
Oh yeah and a pic -

Wow, this sounds like next week for me. Also being forced to take a week off for cost savings, and I was planning on doing this same recipe.  |

Yeah I'm in pretty good spirits right now. The water is boiling, I figure give it 20 minutes then cool for the mash! Just drank an Avery Karma for inspiration. I'll keep updating...

Looks like a nice thermometer you have there.

Yes I borrowed it from work but hey they're saving money right? Anyway it's got T-type thermocouples and it's NIST traceable calibrated and seems to be within .1F! I checked it to the temp of boiling water at my altitude and barometer reading and it was right on.

Thanks! Got it all cleaned up and two fermenters sitting in the basement. My efficiency was not good, not sure what it is yet as I haven't calculated it but I missed my OG by quite a bit. I think it was supposed to be 1.057 but I ended up with 1.048! Dang it!
