The Three Pilsketeers

Three identical Pilsners. Be interesting to see how they go, there were some discrepancies in boil volumes which may affect taste and colour.
All three will be on show at the 2nd Annual Winter Brewcave Bash.

Emma's Pale

Given that its my sister Emma's birthday today, and given that she is very pale, the CCB is brewing a kit-and-extract-and-crystal Pale Ale, because Emma's pale.

Emma's Pale

Malt Shovel Pale Ale Kit

1kg LDME

1kg Medium Crystal, steeped for 30mins (1kg! Yikes!)

45g Galaxy for 1hr

35g Galaxy for 30mins

Safale Dried US Ale yeast.

Brewing Notes:

Brewed 11/03/11. Accidentally pitched the entire 1kg steep of the Crystal. Shit. Only meant to pitch half of it, and keep the rest for a second similar Pale Ale. Stay tuned for said Pale.
