Beer Brewing 06/07/2024

Finally used my Brewzilla. Had some old pale malt that I roasted some of to add some colour and flavour, also toasted some flaked oats and put in some Turbinado sugar. Mashed for about 80min because of a stuck mash, slowly increasing from 55C to 77C. Only did a 30min boil. Fuggles at 30, Saaz and Lemondrop at 15 and then more Lemondrop at flameout which steeped for about 20mins. I have a Mix of old yeasts I refreshed somewhat – made a starter, harvested and made another starter. WYeast 3724 Belgian Saison, and Lallemand ESB and Kolsch yeasts. A real Frankensteins Monster…

I’m going to call this a “Dark Mild”. OG is about 1.035, hopping is probably going to be too much for the style.
