What I Did Today

[packapoo]

That's a puzzle....

Do you think that if you took your shoes off that may help?

Or merely cause a double focus conundrum....

Would cheese as a flavour get thru the final distillation.

For both previous posts...

I doubt it.

@ Easy D. Do you calculate prior to a run, to determine the anticipated return? If not, might I suggest you do. It could give you some peace of mind rather than trying to figure out, after the fact, what might have gone wrong if anything did. Then again it might just be light on sugar.

I try and eliminate guess work. By running the numbers on a wash, a strip run and a spirit run, I can determine what the return will be, and sometimes I will measure what is left in the boiler to determine if I called thing right at the end of a run.[shadow][/shadow]

Cheers RJ,
Yes, I run the numbers all the time these days, including measuring the ABV left in the still.
I wasn't really surprised by my result.
Just willing to share my mistake of not counting sugar bags correctly.

I did another batch of my favourite summer ale.

[packapoo]

What would that be Mashman 'S okay, not trying to bludge your recipe

[Easydrinker]

I'm sure he will share, when he wakes up.

It's a pale ale. Lager colour & drinks well warm or chilled.
Gets lots of praise.

5kg malted barley
500g wheat
100g of cascade hops

Very uncomplicated recipe.
Smashing drink.

If you want the full recipe shout up.

[packapoo]

Thank you for that Mash.

And yes, I'll bite if you're willing to share. Always more interested in trying brews from that side of the world than this.

[Mash]

I will write it up & PM

[packapoo]

Cheers Mashman.

Survived another typhoon last night. It wasn‘t too bad as it veered south of us. 3 or 4 days ago it looked like a direct hit, but fortunately that didnt happen. Got lots or rain and wind. Not too many trees down.

[Mash]

Hmm. They put the UK storms into perspective.

Glad you are ok

[RumJohn]

Thanks, Mash. Most unusual storm the way it turned out. It didnt keep me awake last night. But this afternoon when I went down to the beach, the place was trashed. High surf had destroyed most of the bars, shops and restaurants unless they were way up from the beach.

Electricity, which is usually weak, is so bad, the light in the fridge is a dull glow and boiling the jug takes forever.
