Brew Day, Thursday, Jan. 16 - Brewers Pantry EPA Extract Kit
Thought I would try an extract kit that in my opinion is way better than any kit in a can.
5 Gallons
3 lbs. Very light LME
3 lbs. Amber LME
56 g Willamette - ( 5.3% AA )
28 g UK Challenger - ( 8.9% AA )
Wyeast London Ale III 1318 ( 1 L starter )
City of Peterborough water w/1/4 Campden tablet
O.G. - 1.044 ( estimated from Promash )
F.G. -
% -
SRM - 6
BU - 25
This took 3 hours to make. Trying to get 3 gallons to boil on my stove took awhile. I pre-boiled city water the day before and dumped it in a sanitized pail. Hope it stayed sanitized. I used Fermcap in the boil and had to stir it the whole 15 minutes because there was a lot of activity coming from the bottom of the pot. I definitely need a bigger pot if I want to make this again. Unfortunately the stove most likely will not boil a full wort and I don't want use it for this anyway. I quit using stoves 10 years ago and don't want to go back. Electric pots are still the way to go. If I do this again, I will double up this kit and use my 58 L boiler to do it. 20 years from now I will most likely just brew Festa Kits and sell all my equipment.
