BKB COMMUNITY BREW/FALL.... NEWCASTLE BROWN ALE CLONE BREWLOG
Brewlog Days 65 and 66
Made a 1 liter starter, using 3 oz. DME and 1/4 tsp yeast nutrient
Brewed Component #2 Mild Ale.......late night brew so just one picture.....hit pre-boil SG of 1.026 so things are going good....still chilling but looks like this brew is coming together......I should have my kegerator up and running in a week or two and then I'll transfer and carb up for National Teach a Friend How to Homebrew Day, Nov.3.... http://beertown.org/events/teach/index.html
Day 80......October 19.....transferred to secondary, will probably keg this weekend as long as it looks clear, dropped to about 62 to help clear it up a little.....
Brewlog....Day 106
I finally got off my duff and finished this up. The Old Ale was quite tasty and the Mild Ale was well, a Mild Ale, not much too it.....The Old Ale ended up with a FG of 1.020 and 5.74% ABV and the Mild Alehad a FG of 1.010 and an ABV of 2.86%.....I'll report back on the taste of the Newcastle clone after I get it carbed up in a week or two.....
Cleaning and sanitizing kegs 
Tranferring the Mild Ale 
Purging the Headspace with CO2 
DON'T FEAR THE FOAM 
I also transferred and dry-hopped my Pale Ale while I was at it using some of my hops from this year's harvest 
Those hops look great man.
HOLY HELL BATMAN!!
that looks great!
I finally got my CO2 system running and got the NewCastle Clone carbed up.......I just had a couple 23 oz's of real Newcastle on tap the other day and I can say my Clone Batch is probably as close to it as you can get......I couldn't tell the difference myself.......this is a definite do over down the line because the Mild Ale component was good and I thought the Old Ale component was one of the best beers I 've ever had and probably the second best I've ever brewed....
