Lamb & Slaughter - Monday, March 9, 2020
One more time to brew this bitter. Using real UK malts this time which will make a huge difference. No English yeast though, using my Trump Ale yeast, have to cut corners somewhere as Corporate is always nagging me to stop spending money.
Ingredients
10 lbs. Marris Otter
1 lb. OiO
8 ozs. Sask Wheat
6 ozs. Carastan
6 ozs. Thomas Faucett Crystal 85 L
1 ozs. Special III
40 g EKG at 60 min.
2 ozs. EKG at 20 min. ( supposed to be 10 min. but they got tossed in by mistake )
2 ozs. EKG at 0 min.
Escarpment Labs Cali ( not an English yeast, but I do have it ready to go )
O.G. - 1.046 - ( milling the grain twice, may have a higher OG )
F.G. -
% -
SRM - 9.3
BU - 44
I haven't used Marris Otter in many years. Should of been using it all along. Not cheap though, as in all ingredients today, expensive. I do want a true English bitter, but using Cali yeast should be okay for now. Milling the grain a second time didn't work. The roller just spun and didn't do anything. I had to go to notch 4. It doesn't seem to be pulverized to a powder and I had no choice. At least the Pils malt on the previous brew was big enough to be milled on notch 3. Seemed okay and I got better efficiency using it.
Tuesday March 10
17 C. Too cold. May have to move it out of the keezer and on the bench.
Friday March 13 - 64 F. Slow and steady. Doing a d rest for my lager, so not wanting it too warm down here.
Monday, March 16 - Still going but much slower. Another week or so.
KEGGED TUESDAY MARCH 24
Is it worth it buying marris otter? Nope, not to me. Going with 0i0 and specialty malts for a nice Golden Ale for the time being. Taste is fine, kind of rich and a lot of stuff is going on. Not my style though, although it will get better in time. Quite strong tasting, but it is still beer. Looking forward to my British Golden Ale.
