A personal best…
Wednesday, July 26th, 2006I brewed my 5 gallons of mango wit today in 4.5 hours, from heating the mash water and dragging the equipment up from the basement to pitching yeast. Would have been closer to 4 hrs 15 min if I hadn’t forgotten to sanitize the damn transfer tube for filling the carboy… DRAT! I forgot how easy and quick 5 gallon batches can be… I remember back when I was extract brewing and it took me 4-5 hours!! Good OG (1.055) so I got good efficiency… 8 lb pale, 3 lb wheat malt, 1 lb flaked oats and 1 lb flaked wheat. Wheaty….
Now I must wait for fermentation to commence and subside so I can mango it in the secondary… can you hear the tropical music playing?
Cheers, Scott
