Tomorrow I will brew 3 UK gallons of a light coloured bitter at 2.4% ABV using only 1150 gm pale malt, no other grains, mount hood hops and safale 04 yeast. Mash at 68 - 69 deg C and ferment at room temperature which is around 21 deg C. I anticipate that I will bottle after 3 or 4 days and start to drink in a further 7 days. I have deliberately tasted brews early recently and personally think they are at their best in the first 6 weeks, after that they are less "interesting". Naturally I will provide feedback in due course.
