I just had my birthday some days ago, seems like my friends heard something about my new hobby... ;)
Well, like my first beer was just drinkable, I had to start a second try. I invited some friends and we brewed together. This time I had no problems with the heating, I improved the handling of the yeast and used the new cooler for the first time, everything went well. It's just that before I bottled it, it already had that smokey smell again, it must come from the yeast. I hope that this will change these days in the bottle, we'll see. I didn't document the whole process again, but some impressions for you guys:
Putting the malt and the hop in their bags and closing them. My sister is a tailor and she made new malt and hop bags with a finer tissue, I don't have to filter the beer like this.
The malt bag in the 45°C water, brewing starts!
After the brewing I cooled it down to 20°C and was able to directly pour the yeast in. The morning after it was already working:
Since then I already bottled it and it is going in the fridge in some days, in about a month it will be ready to test. You'll hear from me!
