Today was brew day at Simons for our Aylesbury Estate Porter.
We mashed the following grains for an hour at 67oC:
4kg pale malt
500g chocolate malt
500g caramalt
350g black mal
150g biscuit malt
My grain bag didn't fit my mash tun so we tied it to a bar that has been screwed into the kitchen wall so that the bag didn't touch the mash tun element. After mashing we boiled for an hour with east kent holdings hops in for the hour and phoenix hops in for the last 15 mins. We cooled the wort using the ice bath method then pitched English ale yeas
Got a gravity reading of 1.52 and after fermenting/conditioning should be about 4.5%. It's now fermenting away in Simon's garage.
Will be ready in December, will probably make a south easts guest appearance.
