A bitter

15 gallon batch
20 pounds Maris Otter
2.5 pounds of 135l crystal
mashed at 149
1.5 oz Target at 60
1.5 oz Northdown at 45
1 oz EKG at 15
Irish Moss ot 15
S-04 (3 packs rehydrated)
Wind picked up during boil big time, had trouble holding heavy boil, hopefully no DMS
It is now the twentieth and I'm cold crashing. dialed the Brewhemoth down from 19 Celsius to 5. Will dump yeast tomorrow and again in 5 days, then its off to kegs. Taste good now (a little yeasty), no major DMS!
