Hi guys,
Yesterday and made my first All Grain beer using Nicks guidelines, but made a few slight changes to his recipe.
2kg of Aussie ale malt
100g of carapils
50g of carared
10g of carafa 3
10g of Simcoe (60mins)
10g of D Saaz (15mins)
US05
It was great to be able to taste along the way and I was boiling the grains and adding the different hops. At the end tasted great, but a LITTLE bitter. Next time I might just use less Simcoe and perhaps only for 30mins instead of 60mins.
It cooled over-night and I stuck it into fermenter this morning.
Really, it wasnt too much effort at all, no more effort than doing a Sunday Roast.
It also left a wonderful aroma in the kitchen for the day
Ill take a gravity reading in 5 days time.
Cheers,
Robbie
