Today I attempted to brew a clone of Cameron's Strongarm. Started the process by dissolving 2250 grams of light dried spray malt in 10 litres of water at 40C. Followed by topping up the boiler with 8 litres of water. Into this I placed 210 grams of crystal malt and 93 grams of black malt. This was brought to the boil and 37 grams of Challenger Hops were added. The boil continued for 45 minutes when 420 grams of white caster sugar was stirred in. After 80 minutes 12 grams of Target Hops were added along with 3 grams of Irish moss. After a further 10 minutes the boiler was switched off and the trub allowed to settle. A further 1 hour passed until I poured 4 litres of bottled mineral water into the sterilised fermenting vessel. The wort from the boiler was then run off into the fv and stirred. To this was added a further 6 litres of bottled water and the yeast pitched.
Once again the goblins were not present. The brew is beginning to ferment and starting to bubble. So I declare another successful brew. It is likely that this brew will not make it to the 2nd Annual Orchard Road Beer Festival as it would be about 5 months old by then. However, at least 6 other beers will. Hooray!!!
