I did the Substitution Lager mash today. I do like mash day, it feels so purposeful. The colour seems to be at the dark end of amber to my eye. Brewsmith thought it would be at the pale end of amber. Hmm. However, mash temps were excellent, only lost one degree and the density came out pretty much bang on target. Yay me! Taste is fairly hoppy, bit of caramel. I'm feeling hopeful.
I'm supposed to be out, but I finished up a bit late, and I'm feeling heavy headed and insular. Brewingly insular it seems. There has been an apricot mead plan floating about in my head for ages. I've finally settled on a recipe today, the apricots are out of the freezer and defrosting as I type.
Also as I type, I'm drinking the last of my "Time will tell" robust porter. In a week, the new brown ale should be ready to drink.
