My first homebrew not from a kit, and it's wonderfully refreshing, perfect for the slowly emerging springtime. Thanks for all the work you've put into this blog; I'm slowly reading through the archives, learning a great deal about beer and clearing up a lot of my misconceptions.Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392379615113293126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-29746137837102777852012-02-01T22:34:51.632-08:002012-02-01T22:34:51.632-08:00I guess it's just my process then, perhaps too...I guess it's just my process then, perhaps too much chaff is making its way into my wort. I don't have the most sophisticated set-up after all. <br /><br /><br />Which Notty were you using? Did you use a starter at all or just pitch directly? <br /><br />I used the dry S-04. Perhaps that's my problem. I pitched it directly on the wort as well. <br /><br /><br />I'd love to nail this recipe though.ChrisFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-60280477347236013312012-02-01T08:14:49.039-08:002012-02-01T08:14:49.039-08:00Chris,

It was done in a keg in 3 days using the Nottingham yeast and dropped like a rock. I served it on day 5 or 6.

Due to the presence of the Brett pellicle, I figured there's no sense letting it go to waste, so I may as well bulk age it for a while and see what becomes of it. it's just a little over 5 months old now. I usually like to let Brett beers age a good 6 months at least so I'll report back later when I bottle this up. <br /><br /><br />the other thought i about brewing this was; the notty didn't finish out for a week or more, ( the Brett infection came on later when I racked to secondary),. So if as Kristin says, that this beer could almost be ready to go in three days, I'm not so sure I'd agree. but then again, I bottle and perhaps he kegs and uses finings?ChrisFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-27833379802618413092011-12-30T10:15:26.427-08:002011-12-30T10:15:26.427-08:00Hope it goes well.

Re boil, its what they did in the log. Th...ChrisF,<br /><br />Re boil, its what they did in the log. That being said, I really think you want to have a least a 75min boil, if not 90. I prefer the 90min. Most homebrew people boil 60min and throw the hops in at 60. Lots of research has gone into showing what happens if you don't do this. Basically when the wort 'breaks' the protein coagulates (aka egg drop soup). It takes about 12min but 15min is easier to time.<br /><br />If you throw hops in before, then a lot gets trapped in the proteins. Before anyone brings it up, first wort hopping, is altogether different.Kristen Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212694853976179911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-82706723302058518262011-08-25T17:11:20.529-07:002011-08-25T17:11:20.529-07:00brewing this one up as we speak.

So I don't know, b/c of the Pearl this may wind up a bit more bready than it should be. Also went with first gold and the Notty as per the suggestion. smells wonderful... preboil gravity was spot on. 1.032, the invert making up the rest. Question though; why the need for a 90 min boil with this one?ChrisFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-53339339485066076422011-08-24T22:44:00.773-07:002011-08-24T22:44:00.773-07:00I've been lurking a bit and have brewed 6 of t...I've been lurking a bit and have brewed 6 of the recipes you have posted, no complaints yet!

Though the recipe you've just posted looks slightly different from the one in the book. <br /><br />It may take a while until I can fit it into the brewing schedule but Russell's AK will be brewed in Kent again soon!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844169940650659196noreply@blogger.com
