Hi All,
I haven't taken pictures whilst brewing for ages, so thought I'd whip out the ol' camera and snap a few for my brew day yesterday in case anyone was interested.
It's a modfied version of Edwort's Haus Pale Ale, my first APA ever (what with me not actually being in the USA)
Recipe: (Apologies for the metric'isms)
Gary's Haus APA (24.5L, 76% efficiency):
4.0kg Maris Otter (70%)
1.2kg Vienna Malt (21%)
250g Flaked barley (4.5%)
250g CaraMunich (Crystal 45) (4.5%)
Hops (All cascade 8%AA):
35gm First Wort Hopped, boiled 45 mins (24.4 IBU)
30gm 15 mins (10.3 IBU)
30gm 5 mins (4.1 IBU)
Will dry hop for a week with another 30gms when done.
OG 1.053
IBU 38.7 (beersmith, tinseth formula)
I used 2x dry packets of Notty, fermenting at 14.C (58.F). I know that's very low but I'm trying to achieve a super-clean beer.
Unfortunately, my new-design hop strainer's siphon didn't work too well, so I strained the crud at the bottom of my kettle to get another 3L of wort. I boiled it for 5 mins, chilled and added to the primary fermenter before hitting the sack at 01:45am, sheesh. Got 23L in the fermenter, so I am happy. Hopefully the airlock will be bubbling by the time I get home this evening, but at 14.C it might take a while longer.
Any comments welcome!
