Nelson Recipe

Planned recipe, hoping the accuracy of the calculations can be refined throughout this brewday.
Back to pen and paper rather than using the tablet.

process  : Calculating with Process 19AG16i17
process  : brewerslabEngine rev 2012-10-09
process  : changes since 2011-09-14
process  :  - conversion to use Gql datastore rather than pickle
process  :  - removed ingredients against activities never used so far
process  :  - found potential bug with checkStockAndPrice and kegs
process  :  - now using implicit caprequired/co2required 
process  : changes since 2011-04-15
process  :  - waterRequirement changes to better include FV deadspace
process  :  - waterRequirement ignore hop wastage if boilder deadspace is greater
process  : key assumptions
process  :  - hops not scaled based on topup assumed marginal
process  :    ( need some calculation for this as big assumption)
boilWaste: Adding 1.25 for wastage in the boiler
boilWaste: Adding 1.25 for wastage in the boiler
boilWaste: batch size adjusted to 28.50 to account for wastage in boiler

Label


It's hard to come up with a clever name- so CITRA will have to do. I wish I had brewed more of this as it is probably my best brew to date.

planning a Nelson Sauvin single hop brew with Tipple instead of Maris Otter.

ABC

It's taken a long time for the second beer with reused yeast to start coming into condition.

The mini-keg wasn't that good but opening a bottle has a fair amount of carbonation..... 5 months is a long time to wait for a beer though.... but it's more than drinkable

Citra bottled

Citra is bottled, despite not keeping track of the timing for the hops this seems to be looking good.

Time will tell how well this conditions

Citra

A citra based brew on the go.

The last brew hasn't conditioned very well... looking for a pattern would say it's either Crystal Malt, Northern Brewer/Challenger hops or reusing harvested yeast.

The first brew that used reharvested yeast took a long while to condition into something drinkable so heres hoping in 3 months it will be 40 pints of something drinkable.

Another bottling day

Another brew bottled and mini-kegged, pretty much to plan 20 bottles and 3 mini kegs.
