The New Barrel Recipe

[beerfly]

was goin to say that too, the final product is usually a shade or two lighter then the original wort and the yeast makes it look a lot lighter for a bit

[Shane Phelan]

I paid €18 for it...... There were several "WTF! Faces" at the bar when I purchased it. Its one of those beers though where you buy it once to try it and never buy it again regardless of whether it was good or not.

Was it good?

Hey lads I brewed this today but ended up under my target OG and over my target volume. I had an OG of 1.086 and 30.5L in the fermenter. Is this ok or what should I do to try and fix it? Should I do a very high gravity/IBU extract batch and add it to the fermenters to try to get the numbers up?

Don't worry about it, its going to be part of a very large blend.

I'll let the more experienced heads give you a definitive answer but If it were me I'd just sterilise a can of extract and throw it into the fermenter.

+1 to that Cathal.

Just leave it be, once it's all blended together, it really won't matter.

It will still end up as 8%+ beer so it should not matter. I hope you have a blow off tube or more than one fermenter.

Ye I have it in two fermenters I'll rack them both to a single secondary in a week. At least it's a bit of extra quantity in case we are short overall.

All the numbers are just a target, once it's close, in style and tastes ok it does not matter overall. The differences is what makes the final result special. Odds are what you are lacking someone will have overshot.  Last time I was under target and was firing in sugar to hit the OG, turned out great in the end

Just finished mine. After reading the comments here, I decided to go with something similar to Gordon Strong's recipe.

33 liters into fermentor

6.8kg Maris Otter
3kg Mild Malt
3kg Light LME
1kg Honey or other simple sugar
Mash at 63 degrees for 2 hours 30 min

Boil for 90 mins adding
100g Magnum 60 min
50g Goldings 20 min
1 Whirlfloc Tablet 15 min

3 packs Nottingham Yeast

That should give 55IBU and an OG of 1.100

John I wonder would you need 3 packs of yeast?

Shanna

[Bubbles]

For 30 litres i'd say 3 packs at a minimum, no?
