Notes: First off, this beer got its name because while I was conducting the mash my dog found a Speckled Kingsnake and since this was designed to be an ESB anyway....
Bring 6 gallons of water to 160° and then add grains(you BIAB people will be familiar with how to do this) while stirring to make sure everything is wetted. Temp should be in the neighborhood of 153° by now. Cover and let sit for an hour...although I always check the the temp every 20 minutes.
At end of mash just drain, squeeze and sparge with 1 gallon of water.
I rehydrate a pack of Nottingham Ale yeast and pitch it after I get a hydrometer sample.
Pretty simple process really, just keep the temps and times right and it should work out. I'm typing this as I'm waiting for the boil but experience tells me that it should end up being pretty close to what the recipe says. I'll update later.
Update! I have an OG of 1.054, pretty typical of my brewing style.
Anyhoo, I'll update later. |
