Hi guys,
I work from home, but don't finish until late so brewing can be a bit hard to fit into my day - Today however, I'm trying a 'no hassle' brew, the focus is on making a non-herms brew with basic equipment while only putting in the minimum amount of effort. The idea being to make my brew day so easy that I am able to do it whilst working, spending only a few minutes here and there to complete each stage of the brew. I got everything prepared and ready last night, and I've just started the mash
Here's my recipe:
Wooly Jumper (recipe from Barley Bottom - Homebrew Shop, Homebrew Supplies, Hops, Grains and Sundries)
Style: ordinary bitter
OG: 1045
IBUs 33.9
ABV 4.5%
Mash 90 minutes with 3 gallons of water, then sparge with 5 gallons
4kg Maris Otter
200g Crystal Malt 120L
150g Torrified Wheat
10g Roast Barley
Boil:
42g Goldings, East Kent 5.8%AA 90 min Boil
12g Goldings, East Kent 5.8%AA 15 min Boil
25g Bobek 5.2%AA 1min boil
1 Protafloc Tablet 15 mins boil
Cool with dodgy homemade immersion chiller
Pitch 1 sachet of rehydrated US-05 yeast.
10 days primary
5 days secondary
crash cool in kegerator last day of secondary
bottle half, keg half
bottle condition 3 weeks
keg for 3 days
DRINK!
