The Hobgoblin |
This is my third all-grain brew and was a full day effort thanks to the many hiccups I had with my new three ring burner on the balcony (incorrectly sized connections).

This beer takes a variety of specialty malts for the colour and Styrian Goldings for the flavour and aroma.
This batch uses reclaimed Irish ale yeast from my Amber Ale brew. I'm looking forward to tasting the result!
Gravity: 1.050 (Target 1.059). FG 1.010 (target 1.016) ABV 5.7% (target 5.5%)
Yield: 19 litres (target 18.9 litres)
Brew method: All-grain with US batch sparging.
Notes:My final gravity was off quite a bit, but I'm hoping that I can reclaim the ABV during fermentation (my last all-grain batch ended up .010 lower than the predicated gravity). I'm unsure as the cause to this. On the recommendation of a couple of fellow beer lovers, brewers and chemists, I compensated for liquid lost during the boil by adding water near the end. It could be either this or inefficiency in my sparging.
