Hi all.
Recently started getting back into homebrewing to save some money (lol).
This evening I poured the result of my first partial mash and I must say I won't be going back to the kit and kilo method of old.
Very, very decent NEIPA/Hazy IPA style
My fermentables were;
1.7kg tin Coopers Australian Pale Ale
1.4kg Barrett Burston Pale Malt
375g rolled oats
500g Light Dry Malt Extract
I used US-05 for my yeasties, and fairly substantial hop additions (which I will post the detail tomorrow - my toddler has taken my brew book into his room and he's in bed).
Starting Gravity was 1.050 and final gravity was 1.010 resulting in a reasonable 5.25%.
My next brew will be saying goodbye to the rim entirely, using ale malt and LDME and doing my own hop additions during the boil.
My system currently is just a Big W 19L pot ($20) and a Bunnings paint strainer bag (3 for $9) - cheap and cheerful, budget BIAB.
Cheers!
