Crisp Extra Pale Maris Otter (5000 grams)

Crisp Caramalt (300 grams)

Strike Water: 26.7 litres for a 19 litre batch size (only ended up with 17.5l)

I treated my water with 1/4 teaspoon of Sodium Metabisulphite (Campden)

Strike temp: 66C (strange result from website above). Ended up going for 69C

Mash temp: 65C ended up 66.5 so 66 was probably good above

Length: 60mins

Mash Out

Out temp: 75

Out time: 10mins

Boil

Time: 60mins

40g Centennial at 60mins 30g Centennial at 10mins 30g Amarillo at flame out. Steep for 30mins 30g Simcoe at flame out. Steep for 30mins

Hoisting Brew Bag and Drain

Target Original Gravity: 1.066

After letting the wort cool to ambient I got: 1.055

Next time I’ll squeeze the bag more and be careful to get all the wort out.

Put into fermenter on 1st Jan 2022.

Bottled

Did it approx 3 weeks later.

Tried it 1 week after that on 28th of Jan and it was quite bitter.

Can’t remember how good this one was!
