Right Up To The Brown Mild - Tues. June 2, 2015
11 Gallons
This is kit I bought from Brewers Pantry back in April. I hope the extract is still good though. I kept it in the fridge since I bought it. I will try to use the Williams Mash bucket I used back in 1998 for the 2 - 3 lbs. of specialty grains.
Right Up To The Brown Mild
10 lbs. Amber LME
2.16 lbs. Crystal 60
4 ozs. Black Malt
40 g EKG - ( 5.7 % AA ) - 60 min.
Wyeast London ESB 1968 - ( stepped up @ 4-15 ) 3 L starter 5-30
15 Gallons City ( dechorinated with 1 campden tablet )
Williams Mash Bucket ( circa 1998 ).
O.G. - 1.030 ( Yikes!!! A 2-3% beer )
F.G. - 1.009
% - 2.8
SRM - 15
BU - 18
This will be served with beer gas and a ss aeration stone. I have to take the tank back by June 30th. I have 300 psi left in the tank. It'll be close as if I will have enough for a keg. It certainly wasn't a timer saver but a lot less stuff to carry and clean. The mash-tun worked very good and was a snap to clean. I can do a full all-grain with this mash-tun as it can handle almost 6 US gallons of grains/water. I certainly didn't get good efficiency with this brew. 2-3% beer kind of sucks. Seems to be done. Will move it to brew bench for another week.
Taste
Sucks, has that extract twang you get from kit beer. Never again.
