Brew Day - January 18, 2009

Same recipe for awhile. I am brewing as much as I can because I am going to be too busy to brew much next month. 3 Dog Pub Ale 15 gallons 22 lbs. G&P OiO 1.5 lbs. Flaked Barley 1.0 lbs. Crystal Malt ( 75L ) 55 grams EKG hops 38 grams Nottingham yeast O.G. - 1.050 F.G. - 1.010 % - 5 SRM - 6.3 BU - 16 I think I have been using too much flaked barley. I am starting to taste less and less grain flavour and it is tasting bland. It is bland anyways, ( a summer pool beer ) so I am leaving out the flaked barley for this recipe for now on.

Brew Day - January 10 & 11 2009

I am brewing back to back. I have brewed twice the same day and things didn't work out the way I wanted. So, being busy around here lately, I decided to brew two days in a row. I brewed the same recipe because I thought it was easier and I am lazy. The two brew sessions went pretty good. No issues, ( boilovers, etc... ). Since I brew indoors, the brew room looked like a sauna at times because it was -20C and the window was wide open. 14 Gallons 22 lbs. G&P 2-row malt 1.5 lbs. Flaked Barley 1 lb. crystal ( 75L ) 55 grams EKG pellets ( 60 min ) 36 grams Nottingham dry yeast

Brew Day - January 5, 2009

This is my house ale, 3 Dog Pub Ale. A light, easy drinking ale that seems to be a favourite with people visiting my Pub room. ( Or maybe they like free beer? ) O.G. - 1.052 F.G. - % - SRM - 6.3 BU - 15.9 Efficiency - 87% 15 gallons 22 lbs. G&P 2-row malt 1.5 lbs. Flaked Barley 1 lb. Crystal malt ( 75L ) 55 grams EKG pellet hops 40 grams Nottingham dry yeast I do like this beer. Not much in bitterness or hop flavour, but I want to brew this often because I plan on having on hand 10-12 cases of this for the summer. I don't brew much from June until September. I have a temperature controled fermentation chamber, but it doesn't hold more than a batch of brew at a time. I want to have on hand lots of beer for the summer. I have a pool and this goes down good in and around it....
