Entry: Let the Fermentation Begin!! Thursday, January 15, 2004



Sorry about the delay, this unemployed stuff takes more time then one would think...

Yesterday, Joe Tynan and myself brewed up a new batch of what we hope to be a brown ale with a mellow malty finish. This was our first 20 gallon batch. Yep, you heard right, 20 gallons. We brewed a 10 gallon batch like last time only we made it a high gravity mash so we could split it and dilute it at the boil into two 10 gallon boils. We used a mixture consisting of primarily two row brown malt with some chocolate malt and a little cara pils (dextrine malt). The hops were Northern Brewer for flavor, and domestic Fuggles for aroma. We used wyeast 1084, Irish ale yeast for the ferment. So, mark 20 more on the tally sheet to the left...
