Brew Day - September 25, 2009
15 Gallons
3 Dog Blonde
This is a single malt brew using only Canada Malting 2-row. I want to brew a simple beer to see what it will taste like with no crystal, biscuit or any adjuncts in it. I read on the net that a lot of homebrewers are having great success with this style. I am having issues with quality lately and I bought some new yeast ( Nottingham ). If something is not right, this style of beer will certainly show it because there really is nothing to hide. I am fermenting this at around 14C - 15C. Quite cool for an ale yeast, but within range of the Nottingham yeast according to Danstar. If and when I check the FG after a week or so and it is quite high, I can easily raise the temp.
27.50 lbs. of Canada Malting 2-row
50 grams EKG pellet hops ( 60 min. )
40 grams Nottingham ( wort was 64F )
O.G. - 1.052
F.G. - 1.010
% - 5.2
SRM - 3.6
BU - 14.4
I didn't use any Gelatin with this brew. I am having quality issues and wanted to have a brew as free of anything to figure out what I am doing wrong. Very hazy. Like soup. I will let the extra keg sit for a few months to see how long it takes to clear. I suspect 3 months.
