Shame about the medals, pretty close though!
I got 27/50 for my Partial Mash Pale Ale, they said fresher hops would have won me a medal... nevermind theres always next year.
So Anyways, I'll be doing another Partial Mash on Monday, given the hot temperatures recently, its time for a Saison, 26deg c fermentation temp starting
. using Wyeast 3711, which is a beast.
recipe is as follows;
Mash 30 Mins at 67 deg c: 0.5kg Wheat Malt
0.5kg Rye Malt
0.5kg Caramalt
0.25kg Vienna
2.5kg Light DME
10g Nelson Sauvin @ 60
10g Nelson @10
15g @ 5
15g @ 1
Dryhop 20g for 1 week, i enjoy the taste of sauvin dryhopping the saison, gives more citrus flavour
Last one before Christmas/New Year, and pretty much most of January..... bloody EQC, I'll be remaking my 27/50 partial mash with a much much bigger hop bill and maybe add a little extra malt to make it an American IPA. and probably leaving it in my unpowered garage for the 3 weeks they are fixing our wall/ceilings.
