The name comes from a German dive guide in Myanmar who used the apparently made up term, 'schliebe schlaben' to describe surge in the water much to the delight of all the german speakers onboard.
Batch #1 - 22/1/19 (42% Eff.)
- Repitched onto yeast cake (of previous beer, a dry hopped DIPA (Woo-Town Whopper) as no 1318 London Ale III was available. This alcohol tolerant strain was a pure luck win to have left in the fermenter the day this was to be brewed. Yeast cake was drained and left to warm to room temp. This bubbled over when I stirred with the aeration wand, big clean up job, looked like it had already started to ferment with a bubbly head.
- This is the maximum amount of grain for this set up, kettle was full to just below brim.
- Crisp No.19 Floor malted Marris used
- Very low 42% eff.
- Upped both late hop additions from 22g.
- Fermented out hard and slowly upped temp. to 21C over the week.
27/1/19 - SG: 1018, tasting a little sweet but very nice with a hint of alcohol at the back, has some body left, should be good.
31/1/19 - SG:1015, cold crashed.
