Ta Moko II – A re-brew with minor tweaks for hop Alphas and added 5% Flaked Oats. The last version of this beer is here. If this beer is as good as the last brew it won’t last long and is as good a reason as any to think about investing in a bigger copper boiler / 50 Litre Keg-boiler 😉

Malts are, Lager, Carapils, Wheat, CaraMunich III, and Flaked Oats, I put the Gypsum in the mash and the other salts went in the boil:

Hops from @TheMaltMiller:

Fairly reserved on the hopping, all but 15g of FWH are in the last 15mins of the boil:

Filling the Mash Tun with hot Liquor, I use about 83°c and leave it to pre-heat the tun allowing it to cool down to my Strike Temperature before mashing in, I mashed in at 74°c:

Full copper heating with the FWH:

Half a protafloc tablet into a 23L brew @ 5mins left:

The 50g of 80°c Steep hops:

I liquored back 1.6 litres to get OG 1040 and near as damn it to my required volume:

This is FV1 full of Ta Moko wort with US-05 dry sprinkled, I may skim and re-pitch for next weekends Chinook Blonde Brew:

Mashed in just after 8am and finished before 2pm with a brief trip to town to get a strip-light for the kitchen, 2nd breakfast was had in-between batch sparges and lunch while running wort to the FV 🙂

*Bottled 18th Aug ’12 – with 80g of white sugar
