<\/p>\n

Brewing an all-grain beer is so much more work than picking up a beer kit. So, the beer had better be that much better! I was commissioned to brew 2 batches of beer for my friend Anne. The first was brewed back in June, a hefeweizen which ended up getting contaminated with lactobacillus and having a sour flavour. I brewed the second, an IPA along with a spiced winter ale on this occasion in July.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I borrowed my friend Alex’s gear again: modified cooler with a copper manifold in the base which filters the sparge from the mash, thermometer, heat stick, and a turkey fryer for the boil. I set everything up in the back yard with the help of the kids picnic table.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I searched both recipes out online and modified slightly to my purposes. Here they are:<\/p>\n

The entire process for two 5-gallon batches – cleaning, heating water, racking, bringing to boil, racking, cooling, cleaning – took 5 hours. I had to take my son to the dentist in the early afternoon and help make supper, so I started early in the morning.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Both brews turned out quite well. I have several litres of the winter ale ready for Christmas holidays and I have been enjoying some in the fall too. Now that I have read about the chemistry and enzyme reactions that occur during the mash, I think I could have made even better beer had I played with a few different temperatures and stuck with very light SRM grains for the IPA to give it a lighter colour and taste.<\/p>\n
