Stove top Partial Mash

Hi Stan,

I started with this one, the 15 litre job http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360970532712? ... EBIDX%3AIT

I think the wilko one is 11 or 12 litre

Thanks guys think the 17l one should be ok just need to get holidays out of the way then be prepared for a load of pointless questions lol

You wont look back Stan and the recipes on this thread are fantastic

Hi guys
17l brew pot ordered,bag ordered for pot, looking at the malt miller do you get the grains crushed or not ? going to try the ipa recipe also any particular yeast for this one thanks

Yup I order mine crushed

thanks gregles

If your doing biab then you want them crushed fine. The malt miller do that on request.

The recipe above uses S04 yeast. You could also use US05, widely used for American ales.

Hi Guys
Nearly squeaky bum time!!! got all my gear together now going to do the ipa on Sunday, couple of daft questions is it lid off when you do the boil and is it a full 11.5g so4 pack of yeast for 12L and finally when you say hops @ 20min or hops @ 2min is it the time from the end of the boil, so say hops @ 20 min would go in after 40 mins of the 60 min boil Thanks in advance.

Lid off preferably, half on is ok. Some stuff called DMS can condense on the lid and drip back into the beer (apparently ) and give off flavours.

You could probably get away with half a 11.5g pack of yeast, but the other half needs using quickly!

And yes you have the hops timing thing correct. 20 minute hops go in with 20 minutes left of boiling.

Good luck, have fun!

Hope all goes well Stan

Thanks chaps if im not back by wednesday send out the search party

Well that was different, isn't it funny you have everything planned out to a tee then one little thing goes wrong ( gas running out at start of boil lesson learnt ) and all hell breaks loose, anyway apart from that all went reasonably well ended up with 9L of wort @ 1070 liquored back to 1050 and that has given me 12L in the fermenter now @20c i will know in a few weeks if it was a success. thanks for all your tips and advise guys don't think i would have taken the plunge without it will post a pic of my first pint

Sounds good, I suspect it'll turn out beautifully.

quick question how long to ferment this one been in 7 days now gone from 1050 down to 1012 today is this about done ??

Hi P2M! How's things? I've been very slack all summer brewing wise but I'm back home now and have done two. I did the Black Rye and let it ferment 12 days while I was away, bottled that yesterday and brewed an Orkney Dark Island today! Need to get a few done and stocked up for winter. Hope all's well with you.

No not bottled yet I will leave until weekend that will be 14 days thanks for the reply
