Here we go. I’m convinced this is a failed brew but I’m going to let it sit anyhow. You’ll quickly understand what I mean by failed and can then shake your head at my stubbornness of letting it go through the process anyhow.
Ingredients:
- 3 1/4 Cups of Weyermann Pale Wheat Malt
- 3 Cups of Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner Malt
- 1 Cup of Rice Husks
- 1/2 Tsp German Hallertau Hops
- Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan Wheat
Destroyed; 2/21/2014
Brought 160oz of water to a boil(212 degrees) and stirred in the Wheat, Pilsner & Rice husks. Continued the boil for 40 minutes when I noticed s burn smell coming from the brew. Whoops I scorched some of the grains on the bottom. At this time it was already a bit of a oatmeal like glop, Oh boy. Stubborn me said screw it I’m going to finish this brew. Tossed in the Hops and dropped the burner to low. Let that go for about 15 minutes. The Temp was down to 207 degrees. Put the oatmeal like mix through a strainer to another pot. All said and done I had a half a gallon of gravy, that was the consistency at least. I then did what any other IDK what I’m doing stubborn person would do, added cool water thinning the gravy mix. Siphoned the mix into a fermenting jug and pitched in the activated yeast. Set the jug in the utility sink to see what happens.

Checked up on this… interesting batch and it appears that the gravy is separating and settling in the jug. A day and a half without a sign of happy fermenting. Going to do some research of how I was suppose to do to this batch and then give it a re-do. Hopefully today. I need to pick up some more yeast for this brew and will try to not destroy the concoction this time.

Well, I finally decided to discard this batch and start a new one. It kind of looked like a brain in a jar by the time I decided this. Hopefully mock 2/3 will turn out much better. Well actually they already have, they didn’t look like gravy.
