wow. was your volume a bit low? i ask cause my buddy had the opposite happen - he was brewing a barleywine, shooting for 5 gallons 1.100, but ended up with 6 gallons of 1.080

[BBrianBoogie]

Nope, 23L

And that is the usual result. But anything can happen. Depends on volumes, boil times, etc....

yeah indeed. i was expecting his gravity to be low due to poor efficiency, but instead it was low because he didnt get the boil off expected - he used the lid because stuff was falling off the trees. he is kind of a haphazard brewer anyway

[Jayme]

Any interest in a label for the beer?

The only catch is the 15% off ends today...

[BBrianBoogie]

Pretty much. Don't worry, I pitched a half packet of yeast and shook for 10 sec. Now fermenting at 97F so it should balance out

Exactly right which is why I tend to spare more, boil longer on beers this size to keep efficiency from taking a nosedive. Usually end up in the 70-73 range on beers this size but this time wound up a little high.

So, TimGr and I have taken over LD's system for the day.
This is going to be a big frigger. This is 22kg of grain in the 100L tun.

[BBrianBoogie]

Don't forget to add 4 hours and a sunburn

Awesome.

[JohnnyMac]

Got mine done today, came in at 24.1 P (1.101 SG) so pretty much on target.

Although I know it's gonna be a while, really looking forward to the first drinks of this bad boy.

We've decided we're going to do a partigyle with the second runnings. Who wants to be a dear and tell us what kind of beer we'll end up with? Assuming 60min @12% boil off, going to add 27L.

Don't be jealous, we stir our mash like men!

[chalmers]

Mash out, black gold!

[mr x]

Ain't no haters here. I'm down with it long time, lol. I plan to let this beer carb properly for a month or so, and then I'm caging and corking it, and then it's sitting for 3 years at least.

Maybe a Porter.

[jeffsmith]

If you threw another small amount of roasted malt in, you could likely get yourself a small stout out of it.

[mr x]

That's not a bad idea at all.

[chalmers]

Aaaand, we're boiling. Pre-boil gravity was 1.078 (on target, though it sounds low), and we've got 90min to go.

[chalmers]

First hops at 60min. 2oz Magnum, clocking in at 20.5% AA!

[chalmers]

We were wondering: do we have an idea how long the beer will be in the barrel?

[mr x]

We haven't figured that out yet. Probably be a taste thing. No more than six months I would imagine.....

[JohnnyMac]

I was hoping to be drinking it by New Years, but depends on how things progress.

[chalmers]

And we're done!

[hogie]

So we brewed up the Glen Rizzle last night. Hit the target efficiency numbers but ended up with too much wort post-boil. Didn't notice that the propane was low for the first part of the boil...

24L
OG 1.080
93IBUs

Pitched a 2L starter and it's fermenting like a mother-fucker this morning so I expect solid attenuation.
