getting grist sunday 16 april 2023 homebrew review low flying crow it has to be said this didn t turn out quite as anticipated but the experiment was a success in that i got a low alcohol beer that tastes relatively good starting gravity was 1 028 and final gravity was 1 020 making the abv a tad over 1 i was hoping for a fg of 1 016 making the beer more like 1 6 so i ll need to tweak the recipe to be fair it doesn t need to be any drier so aiming for a higher og might be the answer it s cold clear and has a lovely flavour from the hops but it finishes very short in the mouth with a dry aftertaste i m not easily pleased and while many might think this beer fine for what it is i ll probably have another crack at this later in the year and change it up a bit posted by mark n at sunday april 16 2023 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday 23 march 2023 low flying crow the weather was too lousy to get any jobs done in the garden today so i decided to brew the low abv beer i ve been planning if it s any good i ll detail the recipe in another post when i review the beer a very small bag of malt was all that was needed and despite reservations of how things would go in the g40 with a total malt bill of just 2 4kg everything was fine i did a single step mash at 79c for an hour it was a fairly thin mash and i throttled back the circulation and there were no issues with the recirculation after sparging i took a refractometer reading as the wort was coming to the boil and it indicated a pre boil gravity of 1 024 as my expected og was only 1 025 it looked likely i d overshoot this by the time the boil was done and that proved to be the case once it was all done and dusted the og was 1 028 so we ll see how it goes in other news the novalager beer will be being kegged tomorrow posted by mark n at thursday march 23 2023 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday 21 march 2023 still learning the novalager beer was a bit of a disaster tbh i screwed up the water treatment and ended up tipping it i ve re brewed and it s currently in the fv with dry hops i ll dump those in a few days and then get it in the keg and lager it for a few weeks my next project is a low alcohol beer i do a banging pale ale with a hop combo that really hits the spot as i like to sink a couple of beers in the evening during the week i fancy doing a low alcohol beer and using the same hop profile as this pale ale it s going to be a bit hit and miss as the grain bill is less than the recommended minimum for the grainfather g40 and i m planning to use a yeast i ve not used before to keep attenuation as low as possible the og i m targeting is 1 025 and if it finishes around 1 014 it ll make it about 1 4 abv i did have a crack at this type of thing last year but it wasn t quite what i was after i ve adjusted the malt bill slightly as the original was very pale and because it s such a small beer that didn t help with the perception as it made it look thin visually fingers crossed this will go well i ll do a post on the brewday as soon as i ve got a chance to get brewing hopefully later

day last saturday my take on a new zealand pilsner and i m trying the relatively new yeast from lallemand novalager it promises to deliver a clean profile at warmer temperatures in a much faster time than traditional lager strains grist pilsner malt 87 2 flaked rice 5 3 carapils 5 3 acidulated 2 1 hops motueka 25 00g boil 30 min nelson sauvin 10 00g boil 7 min riwaka 10 00g boil 7 min nelson

supernova what a pushover it produced a lovely pale wort and the airlock on the fermenter had kicked off well before 24 hours after pitching at 15c after 7 days at 15c the gravity is stable but i ve ramped the temperature 20c to make sure it s finished and as clean as possible and will leave it another 4 or 5 days before dry hopping the novalager is certainly a lot quicker than a normal lager yeast and while there is some sulphur on the nose from a sample at 7 days this should dissipate over the next week and i ll post an update once it s dry hopped and packaged posted by mark n at sunday

ground grist refers to malt and cereal that is ground milled in the brewhouse by a malt mill at the beginning of the brewing process the term grist is also used to refer to the grain bill of a beer or the cereal part of the recipe therefore a brewer may refer to a beer brewed from a grist containing 90 pale malt and 10 crystal malt it also happens to rhyme quite nicely the brewery about me mark n
