Bairds Malt And Golden Promise

[Online Brewing Supplies]

Ok

here are some pics of what i did today. It will be clearer with pics than if i try to explain.

mashed it at 66 deg, all went well, this is the wort on its way to the kettle...... clear as and pH was perfect @ 5.4

batch sparged, recirculated till clear.... all went well again. sparged perfectly, didnt compact, flowers well but cleared quick. Very impressed.
Chilled it for a couple of hours (set the pool chiller to work and we took the kids out for lunch)
got home and started running it to the firmenter.
I lifted the hopsock and hung it to drain into the kettle and ran the wort and break into the firmenter through the fine filter bag.

If nothing else Golden Promise makes fantastic whisky.

I've made some great ESB with it in the past.
The colour was lighter than JW.

Well its kegged. gassed and very nice

Crisp dry finnish even with SO-4

First gold hops are nice.... can still taste the goldings through them...... nice combo

A bit cloudy from ther bottom of the keg. Un filtered but is clearing up well after a few schooners this arvo.

all in all.... its nice.......... not great but nice.

Would make a nice pale summer ale.
