Hi all,
I just took a gravity reading of a brew I put on last Saturday and I noticed it is the murkiest cloudiest brew I have made so far.
Firts time I used liquid yeast. A Wyeast 1056. Is this normal for this yeast? Or have I done something wrong?
This was my recipe. I tried to make a APA.
5(about 2.25 kilos)pounds DME
300 gm Crystal malt.
28 gms cascade 60mins
28 gms cascade 20 mins
Quite basic really.
When I purchased the grains he recommended that I steep in three quarters of a litre of water at around 75 C for half an hour.
I did this but what happened was that the grain expanded and it was a really thick porridge like mixture. I had to add more water later and that may have affected it. Next time I will use a lot more water.
I had 1 litres of wort from the crystal in the end.
I added another 7 litres then the DME. 12 litre pot was really full.
Boiled for 1 hour, then cooled, topped water level up (OG 1042) and pitched a starter of 1.5 litres.
Total of 24 litres. It has been at a constant 20 C all the time.
I tasted it before.Gravity is 1012. It tastes great but its really murky.
Will dry hop with 12 gms at least.
Taste is good but not the beer is not clear clear.
Any suggestions appreciated.
cheers
