Don't you just hate it when you make a cracker of a beer but can't remember if you followed your recipe because you were a fair bit pissed by the time the late hops were added. Well at least I know what the grain bill was :blink: .
First keg blew on monday, second keg is tasting pretty damned good.

Know what gives me terroir? Rice Gulls. Ever since seeing 'the birds', I'm like a little piece of terrified wheat just sitting, waiting to be pecked to death by a Larger bird.

Like a swan.

Hey WorthyStar do you realize that the Flaked Barley needs to be mashed and not just steeped? If you want to use it you'll have to use some malt with some diastatic power (ie. pale malt, pilsner malt) to convert it.

Yeah mate I mashed the flaked roast and crystal altogether sparged then back into the boiling pot so still it's going to be useless?

Good question. I'm taking Jamil's lead on this one and fermenting at 16C. He hasn't deliberately steered me wrong yet.

Then to lager for about 4 weeks before bottling and/or kegging.

BTW, the base malt was Weyermann Pale Ale malt, rather than Pils. Quite aromatic in the kettle, actually. The Perle hops will add a subtle perfume too

leave plenty of headroom, with a proper pitch she's a wild one at anything over 15

i personally like this yeast between 13 and 15
