Need to use only 18.5 gallons when I brew these lighter gravity beers. Too much water and not enough boil off. Will use 1-2 gallons in random sour beer experiments after the initial ferment.
New pump for wort cooling. Need to use 40 pounds of ice in the mash tun not just two gallons of ice. Not cool enough. Only chilled to 80 degrees. Put in fridge to drop down to ferment temp of 65 before pitching.
Need to solve aeration issue. Pump pushed wort through air stone. |

Like a guiness. Drinkable. Sessionable. Dry and roasty but not acrid or smokey. Yeast and english malt character come through. Balanced on the malt side with a hint of bitterness to clear the palate.
Good but uninteresting. Perfect example of the style but I want more hops, or more yeast complexity. Either add more unmalted barley to up the mouthfeel and try a belgian yeast, or hop burst with EKG to up the aroma hop. Not to style of course but would make a more complex beer. Good for a pint over lunch without dominating the meal. |
