Cascade (Sierra Nevada) Pale Ale

30 litre batch.  Another concentrated batch with water top-up into the fermenter.  In this case I split it into 2 Fermenter King Juniors.

  • 6.29kg Maris Otter (so maybe not very American Pale Ale)
  • 550g Medium Crystal Malt
  • 70g Acidulated Malt
  • 35g Cascade 40 minute boil
  • 51g Cascade 30 minute boil
  • 66g Cascade 20 minute hopstand at 77°C 

Nice clear wort at end of mash

Good vigorous boil

Big brew day today. Double batch of Old Windsor Peculier, which is Old Perc but with Windsor yeast.

9kg + grain bill, full up to the gunards, dunno how I’m going to get 20l sparge water in 😰

Glad I could get 15A installed for the heater, heats up a beaut. Cheers for the tip @ozdevil

The mill master ripped though the lot in about 6 minutes. Thanks for that tip @Itinerant Peasant

👍👍👍

Yep looking at your mash the 20l sparge will be a challenge! That crushed grain looks almost good enough to eat.

I had 33 l post mash so I sparged with 10 to end up with 43. Hoping for 38 l in two FVs. Might mess up the OG, not sure if it’ll be rocket fuel or less strong. Find out soon enough !

Munich Dunkel again today made 28 litres 19 for my mate who did some work on my car and the rest for my dad. All worked out pretty well was one down on the OG my hydrometer reads four low. Dropped it on the yeast cake hopefully it contains itself within the fermenter 🤞. Might regret not using collar but I don’t think it fits in the fridge!

All done. OG spot on at 1.054. Good job I only sparged with 10 litres. Final volume was spot on 38 litres too. 
Pretty dark brew, and got quite a bit of overflow grain. Didn’t block the pump though

I'm surprised the cab driver managed to get you out of the car and into the gutter haha

I'm surprised your beautiful Ol Boxer Doggy survived my hugs. Her bones would've been creaking. Then I left the fking gates open.  

It was the night of home brew nights. The King of beers was your Partial Mash Porter, and the famous Fig Stout.

There are those Pigs' Trotters again @stquinto Sainter?!

Mmmmm pigs trotters. My Grandad made the best Pork Pies with them. The best Pork went into the pastry ( pastry made with lard ) then trotters used for gelitan and poured into the pie. It was a pie made in heaven.
