Notes

Estimated sprage water 23L

Mash Temp Target 64deg @ 90 Mins (dry)

Mash water additions.

  • Calcium Chloride 2g
  • Bi Carb 3g
  • Calcium SUlphate 6g
  • Calcium Carbonate 10g
  • Epson Salt 4g
  • Salt 2g

    Wort after boil was 18L, should of been 23L. Mistakenly added to much water so the final amount of wort was 27L! It WAS a ESB or Premium nows its just a bitter. Note: Use lid and decrease boil loss next time.

    Mash Strike was 71deg resulted in a mash of about 68. Lower mash strike 2-3 deg from recommendation of sparge pal.

    Very Classic tasting English bitter, dry, resin/wood tones from the hops, some toffee & bread like favours in the background but overall mouth feel is light and silky.
