After a few 1 quart and 2 quart runs which spoiled in mason jars covered by cheesecloth... Having tried the coffee maker approach... Having attempted to use baker's yeast...
I met a new friend recently who is a long time home brewer. He came over tonight and walked me through a double mash. It's currently fermenting in a real fermentation bucket (with an airlock -gasp-)
Here's the recipe, stolen from elsewhere on this site: (slightly adapted to fit costs/availability)
10.00 lb Pale Malt, Maris Otter
0.55 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt
0.44 lb Carafoam
0.33 lb Chocolate Malt
0.50 oz Styrian Goldings (60 min)
0.50 oz Fuggles (60 min)
0.50 oz Styrian Goldings (30 min)
0.50 oz Fuggles (30 min)
1.00 tsp Irish Moss (15 min)
1 vial East Coast liquid yeast
After boil off and top off we have 4 gallons of dark, beautiful joy sitting in a closet at ~70.
Yay for not sucking any more!
