01/10/2016 – Came in under gravity at just under 1.050 but I got just over 20 litres into the fermenter. I wasn’t boiling as rapidly as usual, so I got less evaporation. Great colour and aroma from the wrot. Decanted most of the beer off my starter before pitching the yeast. I’m planning on bottling this in 750s.
23/10/2016 – Bottled with 110g of corn sugar (19 litres @ 2.3 vol). Got 25 x 750ml bottles from the batch.
28/02/2017 – Down to the last few bottles of this now. It’s certainly an easy drinker. The current recipe isn’t that interesting though. It needs more roast, and maybe some characterful base malt like Vienna or Munich to create some interest. On the plus side, the Irish ale yeast was a great success. Lovely clean yeast character, but plenty of body left in the beer. Next time I’ll be dispensing with the Chocolate and Carafa malts and going back to basics with black malt and roasted barley.
