Notes

Take two on the "Balmain Brown", after the the first one turned out more of a porter (now dubbed the "Balmain Brown Porter") due to a mistake on the brown malt Lovibond value.

Brew Notes:

  • 0715 Start, 0745 mash in (esky pre-heat with hot tap water, 75C strike temp, 65C mash), 0900 lauter and sparge (63C on lauter, batch sparge 85-90C strike to ~70C, remix grain bed, 5x 500mL recirculation on all runnings)

  • pre-boil 24L @ 1.060; ~64% efficiency, 1000 heat on (2 x 15L pots, one hopped, one boil only), 1035 first hop addition, 1135 flame out

  • Cooling in esky via 2x cold tap water bath, 1x ice water bath (accidentally added ice to water from 2nd bath, so ice melted too quickly and slowed down cooling, ~1210 pitch (1L beer/slurry mix US-04 harvested from 1500 Lashes Pale Ale bottled 2 days prior, 2tsp sugar added ~60mins prior to pitch)

  • Final gravity x.xxx; x.x%ABV
