4 Dog Brewery

Going to brew a bitter one more time. If this sucks, well, no more for awhile until I get answers to why it does suck. I brewed 4 last year that were awful. Kind of oxygenated or something like that. All of those brews had one thing in common - Nottingham yeast!!! Ingredients 10 lbs. Marris Otter 12.80 ozs. Simpsons Crystal 60 2.40 ozs. UK Pale Choc Malt - ( 300 L ) 1 oz. EKG at 60 min. 1 oz. EKG at 30 min. Escarpment English Ale II Mash higher at 154 F for 90 min because of the high attenuative yeast. Water Profile - Amber Balanced - ( May go with Kal's recipe next time ) CA - 50 S04 - 75 CI - 63 PH - 5.40 O.G. - 1.042 - 79% F.G. -  1.014 % -      3.7 SRM - 10.2 BU - 31.7 Ordered the ingredients from Brewers Pantry and it took awhile to get here. The lb. of C-60 came open too. Not happy with the price, packaging and the slow delivery. If I like the yeast, I may order it again and pick it up if I am driving by Bomanville for some reason.

Carboys and then use this yeast to toss in the Conical for your next batch. Done using the older yeast as I think I have used it enough times. I think the last brew tastes funny. I know it is of me adding the salts a few minutes late and the mash not getting 100% of even that small amount. Whatever, only brewing this style of beer for now on. Using carboys and will wash the yeast and see from there after our holiday. No Nottingham yeast ever again. No matter what the style, it always sucks. I made 5 brews last year and they all sucked with that yeast. No more dry yeast.                                              Ingredients 11 lbs. UCM 1 lb. Carahell 8 ozs. Victory 2 ozs. UK Choc - ( 400 L ) 15g GR NB - 9.9%  AA at 60 min. 71g Saaz - 2.8% AA at 60 min. 56g Saaz - 2.8% AA at 0 min. WLP833 German Bock with a new starter. Water Profile - St...

1437 Pilsner First time brewing this. Not a big difference between this and a Helles, mainly more hops. I will use UCM for a few test batches and if I like it I will buy a sack of Pils malt in London in April. Ingredients 12 lbs. UCM 1 lb. Carahell 63 g Hallertauer - 3.4% AA at 60 min. 60 g Hallertauer - 3.4% AA at 30 min. 42 g Hallertauer - 3.4% AA at 10 min. 30 g Hallertauer - 3.4% AA at 0 min. WLP833 Slurry - Generation 3, not washed just tossed on top of my Helles                              which I am kegging on brew day. O.G. - 1.053 F.G. - % - SRM - 4.4 BU - 40 PH - 5.30 Water Profile - Same as my Helles and all lagers. May be taking a chance on using the yeast slurry like this but I have no other yeast and busy doing the living room so here goes nothing. I am confident it will work fine.                         ...
