WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

This is a beer of my creation based around the Woolworths lager extract tin.

  1. The grains will be steeped in 5L of water at A tgt of 68°c.
  2. They will be sparked with 1L of 80° water before boil(will only boil dependant on mash volume.)
  3. The reason for such a large mash size for such small specialty grains is I will add the extra tin and other fermenter balls after the match is done. This will insure that all fermentable‘s are fully combined and dissolved in the water.
    3.1. At this point, the wurl flock tablet will be added.
  4. While fermenter walls are dissolving, I will steep, the 20 g of East Kent Goldings in approximately 250 mils of boiling water and these will be added to the water when the yeast is pitched.
  5. Once all of the fermentable are dissolved in wort I will add top off of 17 L of 10° water. This will leave me with a pitch temperature of 21°C.
  6. Once the desired temperature is reached, the east will be pitched along with the nutrient and the east Kent Golding, hop addition.

    I’ll be honest, I don’t know how this is going to turn out, but I am pretty excited as this is my first time adding specialty grains.
