OK, here's a dumb question. I started looking at some SRM cards, and..is 24SRM dark enough? I know guinness isn't pitch black, but man that 24 srm card looks pretty light brown
It pours pretty dark, I'd give a better description but all I am pouring now are black n tans, so the color gets skewed. Drinking it now (again black n tan with my pale ale), it is outstanding. I overshot my gravity by a lot and you can tell, 2 of these and I am plenty buzzed. Will definately make this one again. It is good stuff. Hey Netflyer how do you like the bottington clone of Orfy's?

Made my second batch of Orfy's Boddingtons Bitter two weekends ago- I can't remember when I've brewed a 2nd batch so soon after the first and it was by multiple requests. I like it
Gave this recipe a shot yesterday. My first all-grain. I am interested to see how it turns out. Hit 1.060 but I am a little worried about some oxidation as the 2.0oz of EKG kept stopping up the spigot on my brew kettle, nearly stopping the flow. Ended up having to pour about 3 of the 5 gallons directly into the 6 gallon better bottle through a funnel. Quite a bit of the hops ended up in the primary. Pitched Notty so time will tell. Should I be worried?

Oxygen prior to primary fermentation is your friend. It's once you've fermented that it can be a bad thing. So in regards to having introduced a lot of O2 while transferring your beer to the primary fermenter, no worries. And hops in the primary is no big deal. Sometimes I use a strainer or cheese cloth (sanitized) when transferring my beer from kettle to primary. Just get your fermenter to wherever you will rack it to secondary or bottle a few hours prior to let everything settle. Then be careful when racking to get as little of the hops as possible.

Thanks! Patiently waiting for the Notty to start its work. Been about 6 hours. Pitched at 64F and air temp in the basement where the primary is, is 62F.
