Rebellious Lambic - AKA Old English October Beer...

[LordEoin]

I'd say just leave it and it'll all balance out over 200liters

[Garry]

I agree with LE. But don't chuck in the bottle of whiskey 

[mr hoppy]

+1

LE - what was your volume?

[LordEoin]

23l

[mr hoppy]

1. johnrm - 2014.03.29 22l @ 1.072 Yorkshire square ale
2. taf
3. Sam
4. Dara
5. mr_happy - 22l @ 1090  Yorkshire Square Ale
6. Lance Armstrong - 2014.03.29 26l @ 1.080 Notty
7. LordEoin - 2014.03.30 23l @ 1.076 Yorkshire Square Ale
8. Dr Horrible - 2014.03.29 23l@1.086 Yorkshire square ale
9. ColmOM
10. DonnchadhC - 2014.03.28 25l@ 1.084 Yorkshire Ale Yeast

Total volume - 141l
Total gravity - 11,470
Average gravity - 1081
Target gravity - 1090

Let's try and keep the average gravity reasonably near the target. 1084 would be a good place to get to.

Boiling longer and adding a bit of DME (at the start of the boil) should help.

[Garry]

Looking good  Although the volumes being posted at the moment are what's in primary. We'll all lose 2 or 3 litres between secondary and the barrel so the total final volume at the moment would be roughly 125l.

I have Text from ColmOM, he is under pressure so can't do the brew.
I can do it unless someone else wants to.
I'm low on Pale malt do need to visit MCI.

[Garry]

I won't get another brew on for a while myself but I could spare you some malt? I also have 200g of EKG and a unused spare vial of yeast.

[donnchadhc]

I can't do it either, used up all my brownie points for this brew! By the way, I was going to save 5 litres for myself as I thought we were all contributing 20 L?

Is there anywhere in Cork to get DME, Ithink I'll throw in 0.5 kg to bring the gravity up?

[Garry]

I'm putting in an order with HBC at the moment. I'll get an extra 500g of dme for you?

[donnchadhc]

Nah, it's alright, think I'm driving by during the week, want to get one of those plastic carboys for secondary. If there was someplace in Cork it would be dead handy!

Thanks for the offer.

same

[Dr Horrible]

I only have space for one fermenter so I can only do one batch at a time.
Does the health food shop upstairs in Paul St do DME?  I think I might have seen some small bags of it up there, but can't be sure.

[beerboar]

you can get some DME up in the health food place in tescos in town. a bit pricey but in the city.
i think they only have light DME

[johnrm]

Why not do a mini-mash?

I'll squeeze in another brew.
I'll give my stirplate another spin!
I have stout malt which will be fine, I'll balance it upwith some Caramalt.
