Rebellious Lambic - AKA Old English October Beer...

[Garry]

I'll stick your name on the list anyway Doc. As for yeast and when? We'll see! I've never used liquid yeast before so it's all new to me

I've about 6 jars with WLP037 (Yorkshire Square) that I washed from a mild recently. Would fit the bill if people are interested.

[johnrm]

Careful lads, yeast from Mr H? He's not to be trusted...

[LordEoin]

If it's suitable and will last til brewday, then great!

[johnrm]

Almost guilted DonnchadhC into this.

Worse than my feckin wife.......

[johnrm]

I'm running the numbers based on Radical Brewing.
4.5Kg Pale yielding 19l with 76% efficiency is giving me 4.2%
8.3Kg is needed to hit 7.8%, the boil won't be a problem, but tuns need to be big.

Thoughts?

@Tube, Yep, loads of Oak and Whiskey, but I'd say its gone now. The Barrel help Sams Black IPA after this.

[donnchadhc]

Go for the higher gravity, this thing has to survive in the barrel, never mind standing up to the oak!

[donnchadhc]

A normal 30 litre mash tun should take that for a 20 litre batch surely?

[johnrm]

Scratch that, 28l+ Mashtun will be fine.

[donnchadhc]

Is there a group brew day for this? If not, anyone fancy it?

[Garry]

I don't think we were planning a group brew? It it would be very hard for all of us to do it the same day anyway, but does anyone want to suggest a time and place and we'll see who's available?

[Taf]

Not sure if I'd be up for a mammoth brew like we did for the stout, but wouldn't mind a bit of partnering up on a smaller scale.
