Almost there

Hi everyone.
Been brewing for 25 years or so. Been a club member of many clubs over that time and found the online access to information both useful and frustrating.
Current favourite is my king goblin clone. Turned out great. Been 2 years in small batch development. Think I've got it now

Yesterday's brew is my second 0 attempt at an American rye ipa style. Heavily hopped with falconers flight and cascade the smell in my brewshack was amazing. Hit my numbers on my home built rig which does brew house efficiency of 85 % regularly.

Love it so keep brewing folks.
I'm in Belfast for any other local brewers
Cheers
Iain

That's a great looking set up. Any chance of a link to your Rye IPA recipe?

thanks yeah its all getting stripped out when I built it as a proof of concept I always meant to go back and redo the welds. Worked so well I never bothered. It all rotates round the central pole and stored very neatly above the boil Kettle. All change tho......

the recipe is for 30 litres so scale it if you use other volumes. I get a corny and some bottles for friends and its no extra hassle to do 30 litre batches.

you're welcome to this - its an attachment.

big tip is use plenty of rice hulls. Its sticky with the rye in. I had a stuck sparge in an early batch and my mate was the same. buckets, a brew bag manual sparge and a big mess

Tried American yeast MJ44 in a trial batch but not for me. Nottingham ale yeast works well too
best of luck
