Friday and its Brew Day

I decided on a simple single hop bitter this time around. Dissolved 1870 grams of light dried malt in 10 litres of water. Put this into the boiler and topped up with another 17 litres of water. Put 235 grams of crystal malt into a filter bag and turned on.  Added 51 grams of fuggle hops at the start of the boil. Will add 270 grams of sugar after 45 minutes of the boil. The Irish moss will go in after a further 30 minutes. The whole mix will then be allowed to boil for a further 15 minutes. The boiler will then be switched off and the wort allowed to settle for about 90 minutes. It will then be run off into a fermenting vessel and topped up to 23 litres with previously boiled cold water. After about 7-10 days in the fermenting cupboard it will be transferred to a barrel and allowed to settle and mature for a further 2-3 months. With various tastings along the way. Just to make sure that the beer is OK you understand.
