dunkel beginnings...

put down, and bubbling nicely now, a dunkel on friday night.

Muntons Dark 1.8kg
Black Rock Whispering Wheat, 1.5
340g Crystal,
114g Black
114g Chocolate
hallertau bag
safale/wheat yeast.

ground the grains by hand, and added to cold water on stove, then brought to boil, then did usual sitting extract malts in hot water, pouring into barrel, along with the wort from the grains, then cold water. temp said 28 (but is inaccurate) and has come down to 24. bubbling nicely and smelling gooooood...
will post post bottling.

Also, Hoegaarden is drinking beautifully at the mo.
last weekend i had my second to last stout, only one left!
Bock still a champagne-in-the-ass, going OFF when you open it...
Dopplebock just gets better and better...

tasted dopplebock.

divine. sampled a stubby last night.

a little flat, but the flavour is rich and smooth and mellow and delicious. i'm gonna enjoy imbibing this one.
