For my third brew following two strait kit and kilo brews I thought I would give Neils Centenarillo a go. Following the last two k&k brews, I made a bar fridge, heat pad and temperature regulator set up, that keeps a temp within the degree. I thought this would help to improve my brews. I've also only ever used the provided yeast and I think the US-05 should help me out with a better brew also.
I whent to the local home brew store and they had no Centennial so a quick google and I replaced the Centennial with Cascade taking a random web pages advice. I also had to replace the Coopers Light LME with Black Rock Light LME .
For the hop additions I made stocking tea bags (next time I think I will just throw them in and then strain into the fermenter). Though would this make much difference?
Any way the recipe I used was - 3kg Black Rock LME, 0.5KG Dextrose, 20g Cascade @ 30 mins, 40g Amarillo @ 20 mins, 40g Amarillo @ 10 mins, US-05 yeast.
24 hours in an its bubbling away nicely at 17.2c .
Once primary is done, I plan to rack this onto 172 grams of dextrose following the begginers guide to bulk priming AHB article.
Any thoughts ? Let me have it , I'm here to learn ! Also next thing I plan to use is the spreadsheet everyone seems to like, I havnt been able to download it yet, my computer for some reason doesnt like it.
Cheers,
