Beer
Well once agin we brewed. Atempting to rereate the one that failed to work.
Brewing on aschoolnight has previously led to dissaster and being up till 2am, but due to an increase in the efficiency of our mahing we managed to be finisheed by 10pm, despite being exhausted.
this batch will hopefully be for the pie-off,
notable things we used only half a bag of hops, as opposed to a whole bag a normal to try and get the bitterness under controll.
100g crystal malt
50g crushed chocolate malt
30g uncrushed chocolate malt
30-50g (cant remember) of crushed roast barly
~ spoonful of crushed dark malt
400g of dark muscavado sugar
1/4 bag fuggles for 15 mins (bittering) then added 1/4 bag (hopping) for 10 mins with bittering left in
cooling system seemed to work well but may have laked slughtly on removal
Tasted beer in progress after a week of second fermentation - was cloudy but seemd to be heading in very much the right direction - will be a good one to have people round to drink
