Its starting to become an exciting time in the BrannBrew Kitchen, my last two proper brews (not counting the Proper Job Extract Kit) were a great success, both of which were original recipes.
My next brew will be Red Baron - a Red IPA - hopped like a west coast American IPA but with a malty backbone that should balance the hoppyness well. I was going use Brewdogs DIY Dog and their Punk IPA recipe but there is something quite satisfying when your own recipe comes out well, chuffed to bits!
Red Baron will also christen my latest brew purchase of a Ace Boiler. Ive been looking into this for awhile as an alternative to brewing on the stove (as the boiler is all self contained with a 2500w concealed heating element!)
I really think this will aid my brew days by speeding things up when heating the water and transferring the wort, which currently are the most clunky parts of my brewday.
The Ace Boiler is a great starting point to improvements, as over time I will make this into an all in one brewing system, essentially my own Grainfather.
For now though I'll still be sticking with using my grain bag (BIAB) in the Ace, but there is so much scope to enhance the boiler it will be a good project to work on over time.....adding bits to it slowly.
I'll post the Red Baron recipe up after brewday next week and will give my impressions of the Ace too.
Until Next Time.......Happy Brewing
