Brewed on 27.05.2020.
Cross between Doombar and Speckled Hen. Mash size was too small for the grain bill at 21L (2.7L per kg). Left me with a huge sparge. Should have used 30 L mash. Achieved only 42 L batch. Target was 46L at 1055: Achieved 42L at 1060. FG 1008 for 6.43%.
Did 2 stage yeast starter due to out of date WLP005. 1 pack of yeast only. I did 1.5L starter for 3 days. Then 3.5L starter for 3 days. The 3.5L starter went mad. Kept some back fo another brew.
Brewed under pressure at 25psi and 25c. Raised to 26.4c after 3 days. Then day 5 back to 25c. On day 10 cooled to 15c (outside overnight, no fridge. Then kegged. No dry hops done. 2X 18L in kegs 9 x 500ml bottles. Closed transfer under pressure into kegs. No 2ndy sugar in kegs. 1/4 tsp sugar in bots as had to release pressure to get caps on.
