The first batch is done (cooling down to 70) and the second is in the mash tun.  The grains for batch 3 are measured out and ready to go.  I had to substitute Fuggles Plugs for Saaz Plugs, I hope this doesn't totally screw everything up!

Grain Bill:
  • 4 lbs. American 2 Row
  • 2 lbs. German Pilsner
  • 1 lb. Dextrine
  • 1 lb. Pale Malt
Yeast: WLP-001
Hops:
  • 60 min. - Northern Brewer 1/2 oz.
  • 40 min. - Willamette 1/2 oz.
  • 20 min. - Sterling 1/2 oz.
  • also a Fuggles tea (1/2 oz. Plug) to carboy.
I'll probably just have time for this second batch today, and the third will be tomorrow morning.

Started at noon because after I returned from Woburn, I added some champagne yeast to that batch of Gelb Licht that was way way way too malty and sweet.  It's now upstairs in a 68 degree carboy.  Also, I transfered the Fool's Golden to a keg and added about 20 lbs. CO2 pressure for carbonation.

  1. 2nd batch done. All cleaned up by: 1:15am. Ready for 3rd consecutive batch tomorrow (this) morning. I've got the grains all measured out, and everything pretty much ready to go.
