Chris75 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Recipe here. Has anyone else brewed this yet? What was your FG? I've had mine going for 8 days and it seems to have finished at a SG of 1032. The recipe says it should finish around 1020/1025. At this stage I'll just leave it a couple more days and cold crash before bottling. I'd just like to hear if anyone else has similar FG readings.

Smashed Crabs Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Actually looks like a decent recipe, wasn't expecting to see 900g of Lactose in the 20Litre brew. Iv only used 500g max in most my brews that I have used it in but agree 1032 seems a tad to high and concur with idea of leaving it a few extra days.

Chris75 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Interestingly, the IanH spreadsheet shows it should only get to 1030 so I'm fairly confident it's finished. I have bumped up the temp to 22 and given it a swirl just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I did a double batch of the Pavlova Pale Ale a while ago. I accidentally put 1kg of Lactose into the brew. It finished at 1.027. 1.032 is not far off that. A couple of days at 22°C should see yours done, if it is not already. The Pavlova Pale Ale with 1kg of Lactose was still a good beer, just a bit sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 That recipe says 'coffee' flavours - is that coming from the crystal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Corner Brewing Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Coffee flavours would generally come from really dark crystal but more likely the roasted malts. Just read the recipe (duh!) and that’s probably coming from the Amber extract. Edited November 26, 2019 by NewBrews 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I usually get coffee flavours from combinations of dark malts like chocolate or black patent, maybe a little from roasted barley as well. Crystal tends to give more caramel/toffee flavours, and the darker ones can be raisiny too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the ROTM kit for this one, but heven't gotten to making it yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see how it goes but at this stage I think if I did it again I'd drop some lactose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instructions say 2 weeks, but I always add 2 weeks, so I was planning to try my first one at 4 weeks. Of course, this is all in the future because I haven't even started making it yet...

It was only about 10 days or so. I think once it carbs up properly it will be better. I'm away at the moment so I'll try another one when I'm back home.

I tried mine after 3 weeks after bottling on the 23/10 was good but not great. Have tried one lately and it a lot better think def let it age a while.

Waynealford Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 How did this one pan out with a bit longer in the bottles? I have mine going at the moment, stalled at 1.040, so upped the temps to 20 to see if it shifts...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had EXACTLY the same result - 1032 on day 8. I am fermenting at 19 C and will check it again tomorrow (day 10). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
