First Full Extract (not Kit)

[hupnupnee]

Boiled up my first full extract brew on the W/E. I made an APA style:

1.5 kg Morgans Pale Malt
1.5 kg Morgans Extra pale Malt

25g Cascade 60min
12.5g Cascade 30min
12.5g Cascade 10 min
25g Cascade at flame out.

SafeALe Yeast

This was a great new experience. Morgans claims their LME are kettled but their was heaps of hot break- looks disgusting.

One mistake I made was in my haste to get the wort in to the fermenter I poured the lot in hot break, cold break and hops.

Will this do much tot he quality of the beer?

Will racking of to 2ndry be sufficient or should I filter it somehow?

It is fermenting vigortisly at the moment and tastes pretty bloody good so far.

Cheers

Nah don't worry about it,I did exactly thesame once and couldn't discern a major difference.Wait until all the yeast and trub settles (7 /10 days)and rack as normal.I find that 2 weeks in secondary @ cooler temps will clear it out and it will be really clear at bottling time.
Which saf did u use s04 or us 56?

Good on ya for taking the next step the hop character from a full boil will surprise ya. :beer:

Thanks Brauluver,

I think it was 04, I actually reconsituted it from a bottle of Pale Ale I brewed earlier in the year. I also chucked in some trub from a brown ale I had just bottled (Coppers Ale Yeast) I know how will I know which yeast did what?

BTW what is the difference between 04 and 56?
