Brewer's Update

A note of interest:

27 x 800mL = 21.6L

That is 21.6L of bottled beer per brew.

24 x 21.6L = 518.4L

So after 24 brews, I have bottled just over half a thousand litres of beer. Assuming that beer is approximately as dense as water of course, I can now say that I have brewed half a tonne of beer! You could also say 648 long-necks or 54 cases.

My latest recipe (brew 25):
  • Munton's Wheat Beer Kit (1.8kg)
  • Queanbeyan (Queen-Bee-Ann) Fresh Honey (1.5kg)
  • Morgan's Unhopped Extra Pale Malt Extract (1.5kg)
  • Morgan's Finishing Hops - Pride of Ringwood (12g)
  • Yeast: Safale/Wheat K97 (11.5g)
Volume: 23 L
Approximate alcohol concentration (v/v): 7 %

This beer is going to be something special. The boiling honey filled the house with a wonderful aroma yesterday morning while I was preparing it.

My salutations, of course, to my fellow brewers - in particular: Jenny, Dunc', Bruce and Mixmaster.

Congrats on passing the half tonne mark. This next one you are making sounds like it will be pretty special. My latest ginger beer has a calculated alcohol content of 6.3% so it may not have the same rejuvenating effect yours does. Still should be pretty nice and ready to sample soon.

P.S. Happy birthday to Chris for today!
