Fuggled Mind Mild Brew Session

Brew Date 8/28/2021

Notes (Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Was going great until I dropped something unsanitised into my chilled wort that I was using to weigh down my pot lid during the chill... so I heated it back up to pasteurisation temperatures (just under 80c) then rechilled. So it's probably more bitter than it says. But it's the right gravity after liquoring back and right colour and the wort tastes good, yeast started fast too.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 17.00 gallonsliters at 1.042 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 2.50 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.048.

You wanted an OG of 1.034. It looks like it will be over.

Notes:

A fairly traditional cask ale. Good chocolatey and roasted flavour, the yeast finished lower than expected so not quite the sweetness I intended, but it makes it really drinkable. The fuggles add enough hop character to make it interesting, probably not to style though. Colour is perfect to me, brown with a ruby hue.
