Hey Nick, do you boil the sugar for that long for a particular reason? Just curious- I add mine just before FO, but I'm usually doing an over- gravity boil anyway so keeping an eye on hops utilisation.
Nice looking Landlord BTW, should put some lead in the pencil! :icon_drool2: No sugar in it though?
I've always just chucked the sugar in as I drain to the kettle. Suppose it may caramelise a little? Dunno! However, been pretty happy with the results from previous brews, so will keep it that way for now!
Landlord smells beautiful on the boil, ended up boiling 4L of first runnings down to about 1.5L, then sparged the rest to the kettle. No sugar in this one as it's the first I've brewed, and figure that the 65C mash for 90 mins will give me adequate dryness in the finish. Will add some next brew if it's not quite there, but we shall see!
How are you finding the 2247? I've got a smack pack's worth split into tubes to use, but haven't had the opportunity as yet... Very interested in some feedback!
Cheers!
