A Couple of Brews

A couple of weekends ago I had a double brew weekend where I made a batch of TLC Twist and a Batch of Grumpy Bum. Here's the recipes for both:

Both 25L batches calculated at 75% efficiency using Safale s04 and a whirlfloc tablet 10 mins from the end.

TLC Twist.

5000.00 gm Marris Otter Grain 95.6 %
130.00 gm Wheat, Torrified Grain 2.5 %
100.00 gm Crystal Malt Grain 1.9 %
41.00 gm Northdown [6.50%] (90 min) Hops 26.0 IBU
25.00 gm Styrian Goldings [3.00%] (90 min) Hops 7.3 IBU
25.00 gm Styrian Goldings [3.00%] (15 min) Hops 3.8 IBU
25.00 gm Styrian Goldings [3.00%] (0 min) Hops -

I ended up with 25L at 1046 (73.5% efficieny)

Grumpy Bum.

4730.00 gm Marris Otter Grain 91.0 %
470.00 gm Crystal Malt Grain 9.0 %
60.00 gm Northdown [6.50%] (90 min) Hops 40.0 IBU
25.00 gm Styrian Goldings [2.00%] (15 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) Hops

I ended up with 25L at 1054 (87% efficiency)

Both of these got down to 1010 so the TLC Twist is a 4.7% beer and Grumpy Bum is a 5.7% beer.
