Grumpys REPUBLICAN DARK ALE | February 22nd 2005 | |
Yum!I've made this twice, once with the supplied safale, the second time with Wyeast 1098. The first time was my first MB, and I burnt it a little on the boil. The result wasn't too bad ( a week in CC, and now about 3 months in the bottle). The second time I had a lot more control over the boil and it tasted superb on bottling - less edgy than with the safale yeast. Yet to taste carbonated version - it's only been in the bottle three days! |

Grumpys DOUBLE HOP PALE ALE | January 24th 2005 | |
mmmm, hoppy!Made to specifications with safale dry yeast (2x sachets in 300mL of luke warm water with a tsp of malt from the masterbrew pack) and Grumpy's medium bitterness pale malt extract (1.7 kg). Fermentation took off very promptly (within 3 hrs) but forgot to take OG! Fermentation completed within five days, but left till 7th to rack and CC. FG was 1014. CC for 5 days, then bulk primed (160g caster sugar) and bottled 19 litres on 9/1/05. Still immature at this time, but tasting very promising! |
