'Revelation' is a personal reference, rather an arrogant assumption of the quality of this ale. Though it should be good, of course!
Brew day 11/08/17. Mash was not smooth. Miscalculation of mash tun capacity resulted in two separate mashes. One slightly higher temp than the ither. However, half decent mash out achieved and some good recirculated sparging. Result was higher than expected efficiency with OG 1.059. Only 9 litre batch, as fermentor would be too full with 10. Yeast rehydrated and pitched at 20 degrees after 5 hours cooling in the ferm chamber.
Aroma steep hops added to primary as could not cool down wort enough. Direct addition, so hops are in for the length of the fermentation. Will have to see the results. Dry hopped 14g each of Cascade and Saaz.
stonking fermentation again. 1.006 at 17c. Calibrated as the same. ABV 6.96%! Bit above target, but who cares? Nottingham seems to be a beast. May, of course, be due to over pitching though...
