Catching Up

Oops – bit of a time since I last posted! Things to report:

Brewed a dunkelweizen – Jamil Z’s recipe which came out at OG1059, FG1010. Just conditioning now…

Tonight brewed a ordinary bitter – 87% Pale, 7% Crystal, 3% Flaked barley and Torrified Wheat. Also, 200g of dark brown sugar. Fuggles 4.4% 60g, 75min; 22g 15min. Eventually got 22L @ 1038.

Plus, Twitter & Blistered lasted a weekend between 8 of us on a narrowboat – good beer indeed (though not quite like the Harviestoun beer though – hey ho, never mind). If anyone happens to find my Sat night/Sun morning, please can they let me have it back as I seemed to lose it at the time…

The Ordinary bitter smelt and tasted absolutely wonderful about 4 days ago (much like Hooky Bitter in fact), but last night when racking to keg (FG:1010), it seemed a bit bland. Though I had been drinking a dunkelweizen beforehand which probably stuffed my tastebuds up completely…. got some minty flavours from the fuggles though – I’ll give it a try after it’s cleared in the pressure keg and I can rack it to the corny and let it condition – it may just be a little flat.
