Hi all,
This is a beer I brewed back in late October. It's a Christmas Stout which is 6.5% and pretty hearty!
In the original version of 'Twas The Night Before Christmas', originally called 'A Visit From St. Nicholas', the last two reindeer are not Donner & Blitzen, but Dunder & Blixem.
Blixem's Revenge
Brunken Dastard Brewery
Style: Christmas Stout
ABV: 6.5%
Grain Bill:(Cant remember right now - will fill it in when I get home and check my ipad)
Hops:
50g of EKGs @60 mins
10g of EKGs @15 mins
1tsp irish moss (usually use protofloc but had none in stock)
Yeast: Nottingham
This was my second test batch on the new Electric HERMS brewery. It was a success apart from a stuck mash, which was soon sorted.
Ok, now pics!
This is the brewery - it's an eHERMS system I built from scratch, had to learn to weld and stuff it was a real learning experience and I'm really happy to finally be brewing on it!
I use a brewing app called iBrewMaster on the ipad for recipe storage, batch organisation, scheduling, etc. The one thing it doesn't have is stock control which is a pain.
Here's the grain bill
Mashing in
Recirculating through the HERMS coil
Hit the mash temp pretty much perfectly
