Today I brewed 50ltrs of 1.056 American Pale Ale with hops and pellets I've never used before. The day went smoothly apart from the pellet and cold break combo constantly clogging my copper filter on run off!...very annoying. Constantly scraping the break/pellet material off the filter finally let me run the beer to fv. The yeast was a little slow to get stuck into this one, almost 24 hours lag, but it went off like a train after that. This is another brew which will be entered into the Spring Thing competition, if suitable.Next Brew Day 26th March, possibly a double brew day, not decided yet.
