B-ale (Basic ale)
6lb triple malt (2lb per gallon)
Strike water temp: 168F
Mash temp: 156F
Mash time : 70min
Boil:60min
Hops: 1.5 oz garden hops at 30min (no idea how strong they are so a rough guess)
O.G: 1.050
Used a home made grain bag and a home made hop bag, and both worked well. I did a mash with about 3Gal, then sparged over the hop bag to about 3Gal for boil.
Took ages to cool, and didn't wait till the full 80F.
Next time:
- Will try using sterile ice, prepared in advance to cool it faster.
- Also try adding some honey for flavour and sugar.
Will pitch the yeast tomorrow...
..pitched Nottingham yeast.
