This batch is primarilty from a can of ale mix. I purchased it from Austin Home Brew Supply
3.5 liters water
2 lb corn sugar/light DME
1 can nut brown ale mix.
Boil to combine sugars and malt mix.
Add to primary, fill to top.
SG at 75degrees 1.044 + .002 = 1.0145 Sept 5th.
SG 80 deg 1.012 + 0.0025 = 1.0145 Sept 12th
1.008 is the target.
SG 1.008 Sept 14th, still of activity.
SG 1.008 Sept 16th.
SG 1.008 Sept 17th.
Re Racked then mixed with priming sugar. 32 bottles.
Sept 28th, slight sediment in bottom of bottles.
taste test: Chantal - sweet nose, buttery taste.
Curtis - slight carbonation, seems light in body, needs to sit longer to carbonate.
After about two weeks until we ran out, this beer poured with a nice thick head, typically a finger width. Only a few bottles poured a little flat. Not bad from a can mix and a quick easy brew.
Next batch we will try with a secondary fermenter after the initial yeast activity.
