Brewday

I brewed up a beer today in the spirit of something being talked about here..Here is an example of a light colored (3.4l) Continental Pilsner. I am a low oxygen brewery so the lack HSA darkening of the wort is quite evident here, also you can see my wort clarity in regards to mash and post boil.

85% Weyermann Eraclea pils
15% Weyermann light munich (8.8L)

35ibu triple hopped, added some sulfate to the water 2206





End of Mash


Preboil


Preboil with 7.4 gallons in the Kettle

Post boil and chilled, can see the bottom of the kettle:


Transferring to Fermenter


Trub pile



Brewday went well, and I will update this post with results.

 

Knocked out at 14:00. Off to the races at 17:30 @ 45f

 

Slacking due to holidays...FFT came in at 1.008 going to stop at 1.010 for about .5% extract remaining, this gives the beer the proper body, sweetness and mouthfeel. It will be spunded at 1.013 and naturally carbed. Main batch is about 1-2 days away from transfer.

 

Couple days into lagering and got my first sneak peak.

 

250ml mash and 200ml end of boil (it's in the pH section towards the bottom on my sheet. )

Hows the color for 15% munich?

 

Thanks on the brewery.. It's not the most beautiful thing but it works!





And I can brew remotely so thats nice.

 

I don't need to tell you why...

 

Thanks. When I built my house 3 years ago, a brewery was built into the basement. Floor drains in the brewery and fermentation cellar. A dedicated grain storage room, that is temp and humidity controlled, big SS sink/cleaning area, etc. It’s behind a 7’x5’ picture window. I am actually working on finishing off the basement now and when sitting at the bar the brewery will be the focal point behind the glass.
