Rebellious Lambic - AKA Old English October Beer...

[mr hoppy]

Garry and johnrm did trojan work in the rain down in the Mad Monk this afternoon. Hope it's drier tomorrow.

Yeah, sorry I couldn't make it. Started a #rebelbarrel on twitter if people are into that sort of thing!

[Garry]

I got 26 litres at 1.080. Didn't have time to do the step up yeast starter thing during the week so I threw in 2 packs packs of notty. It's ok, Mr happy saw me doing it.

Cheers to John and mad monk for hosting and f#ck you rain for soaking me to the bollocks. An enjoyable day otherwise   

[donnchadhc]

Thanks to Mr. Happy for the yeast. Fantastic stuff!!

Gary, cheaters never prosper!!!!!

That was a cold wet day - fair play to Garry and John, I think I would have gone in to the fire and let the beer brew itself.

[johnrm]

A good day, pity about the weather.
I missed temp on the mash so pulled off some wort and boiled it to get temp back up.
I ended up with 22l@ 1.072 having donated some to Garry. I should have spent more time pre-brew on my recipe/volumes.
Andrews yeast is steaming away. Nice healthy krausen.

Mine also took off nicely.  Started at 17deg and now up to 18.  Probably going to let it free rise up to 20 and then hold it there - what's everyone else doing?

Is that to do with the shot of O2 Garry?

[Garry]

Is that a PID control HLT in pic two?

Sure is. I use it on my kettle to heat the strike and sparge water.

[Garry]

Is that to do with the shot of O2 Garry?

Oh yeah, the o2, that's it. Nothing to do with the yeast
