Today I am attempting to brew a stout, the recipe is loosely based around Wheeler & Protz, Brew your own Real Ale at Home page 147 for Guinness EXTRA STOUT. With a couple of exceptions. I ran out of Pale Malt and being a country brewer there is no chance of nipping down to the store to get some more. I did have some wheat malt looking for a home so in that went with 10 extra grams of both roast and flaked barley (I dont think it is going to be the fastest sparge but oh well). On bashing the numbers into ProMash it claimed a OG of 1042 which is the recipe target, so we will see.
HLT Filled last night and set to be at 74 deg for the morning. This has worked well no delays and able to get strait into it.
Recipe (so far!)
Pale malt 3,000g (should have been 3,900g)
Roast Barley 500g (should have been 490g)
Flaked barley 500g (should have been 490g)
Wheat malt 360g (just what I had laying around)
