Home Brewed Beer: No 2!!
As you might know, I have started to brew my own beer at home. The one in this post is my second brew, and I was attempting to brew an oatmeal stout!! We were invited to a braai at my brothers house, and this was the opportune moment to test my latest brew. The glasses were chilled in the freezer and the beer poured beautifully.
The beer had a great dark color and a beautiful tan head - just as a stout should have. The beer had a good stout taste a bit hoppy and quite bitter. As I said, I wanted to brew an oatmeal stout, but I could not taste the oats. I think, I added to little oats to the mix. The beer however still tasted great!!
Just look at that head!! I was quite happy with the carbonation, I achieved with this one. I calculated the alcohol content to be 3.15%, thus it was quite light.
Below is the recipe, if you would like to brew this one yourself.
Ingredients:
🍺Belgium Pale Malt: 2.425kg
🍺Pale Chocolate (Fawcett and Sons): 0.15kg
🍺Roasted Barley (Fawcett and Sons): 0.025kg
🍺1 coffee Mug oats
🍺Bravo Hops: 100g
🍺Mangrove Jacks strong ale Yeast M42: 1 packet
🍺Priming Sugar
Method:
🍺Put all the grains in a grain bag, with 10 litter of water in a large pot.
🍺Heat to 60 Celsius 30 min,
🍺Increase heat 67 Celsius for 1 Hour Increase water to 12 litter by sparging through grain.
🍺Then increase heat to a rolling Boil for 1 Hour
🍺Add half hops 15 min into boil and remaining half 15 minutes before end.
🍺Cool down to below 26 Celsius
🍺Ferment 3 weeks
🍺Bottle age 4 weeks (Add priming sugar in the bottle when bottling)
🍺Chill beer to ICE COLD
🍺Chill glass to ICE COLD
🍺Pour beer into glass
🍺Savor every sip!!
The only equipment I used was a large pot, a grain bag, a small hops bag and a fermenting bucket.
I hope you liked my post as much as I enjoyed writing it!!

Hello rynow, as I have mentioned the problems of Internet, light and water, they force me not to do my daily routine of visits to your blog, it is impossible today to open the images of your 2nd homemade beer, I would love to be close to visit the family and try that exquisite beer, which is a luxury to do at home, as you can read the full publication, I would like to copy your recipe clear this with your permission, greetings to the beautiful, friend @rynow grateful for your support.

You are free to copy it. Thank you for the nice comment, I hope the internet improves for you, as well as the water and power problems!! It is very difficult these days to survive without the water and lights!! We sometimes have short brakes in the supply as well, luckily it is normally only for a short period.

Such a cool thing to have tried. I've got to look into buying some of the necessary equipment and give this a try! I'd try an make a nice IPA.. You mention some specific temperatures. Would I need a special thermometer for that? Thanks for ingredients and method. It will come in very handy if I have a go at this myself.. it must be such a proud feeling when you finally get to taste your own beer! Guinness, Bud, Heineken watch out, there's a new kid in town by the name Rhino!!
