So today I was brewing at Hootenanny Hollows Brewery B, my parents house. We made an extra special bitter.
5.5 lbs Maris Otter
0.2 lbs Crystal 40
0.2 lbs Aromatic
0.1 lb Crystal 120
0.1 lb Special Roast
Mashed for 60 minutes at 155 followed by a 1 hour boil. Cooled with an ice bath.
Tis interesting, I haven't used an ice bath to cool for a while. My immersion chiller cools wort soo much quicker. We'll be fermenting with WLP015. Planned to use WLP002, but the store was out, so we'll just have to carry on. It'll be fermenting in a Mr. Beer fermenter in the crawl space, since I haven't been able to track down a fridge to use as a fermentation chamber.
We'll see how it works out.
