All running smoothly, 68C rest, so I nipped inside to do a bit of vacuum sealing.
Came back out and my BCS-460 had stepped through the (wrong) mash schedule.

63 for 15 was fine, but 68 was only for 10, bugger. Not total disaster but, bugger.

Biggest beer yet! Tomorrow's weather will be a cracker, hopefully a great day to brew.

12% dark/roast and waimea hops (which I haven't tried before)??

Definitely like the sounds of it!

 

[razz]

The roast malts went in at sparge Sponge, we only added them for colour (fingers crossed)

 

[sponge]

Ahh fair deuce mate.

Should end up being delicious none the less.

How was the wort tasting after the boil with the waimea? I'm a bit curious as to how it fares against the other delicious NZ hops

 

[razz]

Very sweet and bitter! As far as flavour goes the description from Craftbrewer is citrus and pine. I think more pine than citrus, but there is also a flower like fragrance, very unusual.

 

[jyo]

No time for a lager but this should please the Boss and the masses as the weather heats up.
