Well after a few years on the extract brews i made the big cross over..
Used a 2x 20L urn's, BIAB method, no sparge and it all came out well..
pretty flawless cross over, apart from a manual thermometer smashing and leaking red fluid in 2 one of the vessels (pre mash, scooped it out and it seems to have not effected it to badly so far)
Took a few more hours than the old extract but it was damn good fun..
Got more of a boil of then expected so ended up with less volume and slightly stronger beer.
No chill so had to wait till yesterday to pitch, and bubbling away today!! :beerbang:
Like with my brewing styles, i didnt really follow a recipe, just wing it and made up something that seemed to be something i would enjoy.. was gonna do a smash but that went out the window
4.5kg Pale
.5 rye
.5 biscuit
.35 caramunich
.2 caradark
25g citra @ 60
25g citra @ 20
40g citra dry
wyeast 1056
og 1.060
so interested in how it will turn out, these next couple of weeks are gonna drag!
exciting time ahead!!!
