Ah, you are getting old. Be a man and lift that 10 gallons of steaming hot wort like I do....... 1 gallon at a time :lol:

There are times I wish I had a pump also.

Turns out I grossly underestimated the blowoff on this one anyway. I had quite a mess to clean up this morning from overflow of a 2 litre ice cream container

Brewed up a monster of a beer yesterday for my bud's upcoming birthday. Several years back another friend took a Noble Grape IPA recipe and jacked it so it came out to about 11-12%. My bud wanted to try to beat this but make a better tasting beer so I've been working out a recipe. Hoping to hit 13-14 % in the end. Partial mash with 5.6 kg of grain and 5.0 kg of LME thrown in as a late boil addition. Going to hit it with a sugar addition after primary fermentation to try to hit our target alcohol level and not have it with a too syrupy body. Columbus, Centennial, Cascade and Simcoe in the boil and dry hopping with 30 g Simcoe and 30 g Amarillo. 2 packs of Nottingham pitched in about 17 L of wort. The previous beer was called The Hammer so this one is called The Anvil.

Looking to redeem myself after my last piss-poor fiasco (volume issues, don't ask). So... a back to basics bitter:

As per usual full-volume BIAB that will sit in the primary for 2+ weeks before bottling.

OG: 1.050
SRM: 10
IBU: 37

Marris Otter: 85%
UK Crystal 90L: 5%
Caravienne: 5%
Flaked Corn: 5%

Warrior @ 60 - IBU: 31
Willamette @ 15 - IBU: 6
Willamette @ flameout - hot rest for 15 mins or so.

Yeast: S-04
