Brew Day - Wednesday, December 29, 2010
Last brew for 2010. Lots of brewing for 2011. I am going to use and harvest liquid yeast next year. I am going to use a lot of different yeast available now a days. This is a lower gravity ale because I have only one smack pack of 1007. I will save the slurry from this and hopefully have enough for a 14 gallon batch. This will be split into two carboys using Wyeast 1007 and Nottingham.
Murphy German Ale
14 Gallons
18 lbs. OiO 2 row

F.G. -
% -
SRM - 6.4
BU - 20
I didn't have time to make a starter. The yeast was 3 months old and I thought that it wouldn't start, or even ferment. It was going good by the next morning. It actually started before the Notty. It is still going good. 16C for both carboys. I have no temperature control with these carboys, escept shutting a door to a cold room. Both have remained at a steady 16C.
