Rebellious Lambic - AKA Old English October Beer...

[LordEoin]

a bit late for adjusting the quantities 
ah well.. a little extra bitterness won't hurt

[mr hoppy]

That was more for those who hadn't brewed already. 

Just trying some of the 2010 Fuller's Vintage I got in the Abbott and if our brew is even half as good as that it'll be great.

Total volume - 177l
Total gravity - 14,537
Average gravity - 1082 @ 75% attentuation = approx 8.5%
Target gravity - 1090

So, another 43 litres to get us up to 220 litres!

I took a gravity reading yesterday and got 1020 - about 78% attentuation.

I did get some of the dreaded clove off it, although hopefully it'll mellow out into nuttiness:

so make sure you ferment @ 20, not 16!

Mine is at 1.016. No cloves. Should I leave mine on the notty for 4 weeks too ?

[mr hoppy]

T:e cloves are a wlp037 thing but given that it's a big beer no harm to give it time to clean up after itself.

[johnrm]

1.014 and banana.

We're going to have a sh*t-ton of this yeast floating about soon.
We should take the opportunity wash the yeast and offer it up for any other clubs thinking of doing something similar.

[mr hoppy]

@johnrm - that's a very interesting link, thanks! - mind from what i've read the temps need to be above the lower end of the range or it won't mellow out at all.

@Lordeoin - High alcohol fcks yeasties up. It's a one way trip!

Mind. I've a little of this left from the original batch and I'm planning on doing a low ABV session beer with that so I should be able to harvest from it.

[donnchadhc]

I was planning on a bitter and throwing it on the trub. Would I be better just getting a new pitch?

[mr hoppy]

You can try, a small bitter might be ok.

I've more and I can bring some along to the next meet up if you want.

[donnchadhc]

Any chance I might pick some up over the weekend? Thinking of brewing Good Friday, won't get a chance after that!!

[Garry]

I have some of that yeast too. Send me a pm if you're interested.
