Aiming for about 25 litres (compared to 23 litres in book)
5.5% ABV
Mash
- Lager malt - 5 kg
- Flaked Rice - 1kg
total grains:
- Temp - 65
- Time - should be 75 mins
Started at 0800 ended at 1020. Forgot to put on a seal so had to sparge in-situ as grain basket fell apart.
“Your mash should be of a poddidge like consistency”
Think I put in too much water which caused grains to go over the top and recirc. Also did a lot of stirring to try and improve effeciency.
Boil
- Norther Brewer 25g at start
- Protofloc at 15 mins
- Saaz 13g at 1 min to go
Boiled about 50 mins.
Cool and ferment
OG is 1052 which is about perfect (aiming for 1055) with x litres (aiming for 25)

Keg
