Lessons

  • As I haven’t got large amounts of grain I could have got away with slightly less water for the mash, which would have rediced the boil time
  • Boil reduces water the quickest with the lid on (to maintain temperature) and ajar (to release steam). To recduce the 15l still reauired a 90 minute boil.
  • First taste suggets that more lactose required for next time.
