Brew No.55 Rate: 0/10 ABV: 5.7% Yeast: S-04 Attenuation: 74–82% My attenuation: 74% Yeast aroma: English ale. Fruity and floral Recommended IBU: 30 – 50 IBU achieved: Ferment: 18–26ºC (21ºC steps) Recipe: OG: 1049 FG: 1012 ABV: 4.8% Achieved: OG: 1058 FG: 10145 ABV: 5.7% Notes: – Didn't dry hop – Crisp Flaked Torrified Maize adds a corn flake-like sweetness to beers – Used 300g of Demerara. Not 400 soft brown. – Recipe boil time 90 mins, I did 60. – Sat in water bucket to ferment, t-shirt but no fan, fermented reached only 19.7ºC. Bubbled slowly. _ Forgot to turn fermenter tap up before bottling. Do again. Yes. Use a proper ale yeast though. Maybe WLP013 London Ale Or WHC Dried Yeast Old English? Not sweet enough. I think I mashed too low.
