Anyone oud bruining today?

[mcgrath]

Very gummy mash as I milled some of it twice by accident (don't ask). Wort doesn't want to come out!

My run off was ok, but it was hard to clean mashtun afterwards. Very sticky.

Just to clarify...the bag of malt I made up had all the malts except the Pale/Pilsener and the Munich.
With the exception of mcgrath who didn't need all malts so he got a 'special' customised bag.

I just mashed what I got, thought it was the smallest mash ever! :

Only joking

Funny guys!  :

I thought I'd never get rid of that aromatic malt.. :-)

Did 26L yesterday.. Hit the gravity on the nose.. I now know why I don't use pellets.. Need to get sowing before using them again

I'm a bit behind on this, I have a few days off next weekend, so I should get it in then, better late than never.

Here she is bubbling away

[Eoin]

Should we have a contingency in case we're short on this one too?

I I get more ingredients I can get close to 60l and freeze the excess......

In fact I was thinking of doing another lambic brew and freezing that too for future top-ups.

[lordstilton]

I've no problem doing another batch

[imark]

Are we talking about contingency in volumes or individuals ability to brew on schedule? I would have thought the volume of the Oud Bruin barrel was not a risk since we already used it for our shitey stout!

I think Contingency in volumes.

I am planning my brew next weekend as I have Friday until Wednesday off.

I won't be doing any heavy lifting for the first few days, but I think I can be brewing by Monday. I hope at least.
