Bitter Brewed
Wanted to get another summer beer done. So I brewed a bitter on the weekend. I used my standard recipe of 95% ale malt and 5% medium crystal. I used a mixture of Bairds MO and Joe White Traditional Ale malt. I’m not a fan of the Baird’s MO but I had a couple of kilograms left so thought I would use it up. I bittered with Magnum as it is such a good neutral bittering hop. With the coming expected shortages of hops having a good neutral high alpha hop is invaluable.
Brew day went very smoothly. I was worried I would run out of gad for a while. However I made it through so all was well. Hit all may targets and took plenty of notes this time. I started the brew day at about 7 and was done with all clean up finished by mid day. I like getting up early and getting a brew done. Pitched some 1318 London III yeast into it and there was active fermentation within 24 hours. I hope get another brew done this weekend. Most likely it will be a steam beer.
