Brew Day - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - Murphy Stout
Put together a partial mash Stout. It took me 3 1/2 hours to do, so I didn't save a ton of time but clean up was a breeze. I was a little worried that with all that extra water I added it would not be black. It is, at least my flashlight didn't go through at all. Going good on day 2.
Murphy's Stout
My cat is named Murphy and my stout tap is Murphys too.
6 lbs. dark liquid malt extract.
5.6 ozs. Weyermann Carafa III Special Dehusked Malt
5.6 ozs. Muntons Crystal 40
5.6 ozs. Muntons Crystal 75
1 oz. EKG ( 7.2 AA )
US-05 ( not rehydrated )
Well water
O.G. - 1.048
F.G. -
% -
SRM - 29
BU - 25 ( after 30% BU loss with a 12 L boil )
I boiled 12 L on the stove. I got a lot of evaporation ( 4 inches ). I ended up with a little over 2 gallons in the carboy after a 60 min boil. I used my IC to cool it down. It went very quick as it was 61 F before I had a chance to check it. I had to add a lot of straight well water to bring it up to a little below 5 gallons. The air lock smells like chocolate, nice. I hope I don't get any harsh flavours from my well water. I made beer like this in the mid 90's and never got a harsh beer. Of course my well water has changed during those years and not for the better. I will be brewing this style of brewing more often in the hot summer months when it is just too hot to brew. An induction cooker will help make boiling in the house way easier. Okay beer.
