BILLY BREW
Grandmaster Brewer
First brew in 3 months...don't ask. Decided to do a classic. Of course being on the wagon for January took a bit of the fun out of the process. But got a 7 gallon batch done and used dry yeast for the first time. Impressed with the result. Started to go active within the first hour.
Something I do is "sun tea" my black grains for 24 to 48 hours. Takes a lot of the grain bitterness out of the final result. I dump the black wort in at flame out. Anyone else use this process?
Just rambling...Haven't been on in a long time.
Update 2/8/2022; Brew day went better than planned. Bottled last week and flavor looks to be right on target. Should be a great St. Paddy's Day treat!
