So I boiled the second runoff down to 6 L, which should give an OG of ~1050.
Pitched some Stalljen kveik straight from the freezer.
Now both worts are placed safely in the basement.
Next up: Lag phase the next couple of hours, where nothing very interesting happens. Tomorrow I expect full krausen by late afternoon, and finished fermentation by Tuesday or Wednesday.

11/ Kveik pitched, some fun
So with an OG of ca 1060 (a bit lower than I wanted, possibly due to old malts), the kveik was pitched and fermentor put into the fermentation cabinet.
There was still some water and sugars left in the lauter tun, so I sparged some more and ran off another 10 L thin wort. I'm currently boiling it down to increase gravity. Lets see how it turns out..

10/ Runoff, chill out
While approaching the 15 litre mark, we can take a look at how the kveik is doing (alive and kicking, baby!) and the really magical colour of the juniper infusion.

9/ Runoff
Transferring the wort from the lauter tun to my fermentor. A slow drizzle is needed for cooling the wort and providing enough oxygen for the yeast.
The hops I'm running the wort through, and the two fistfuls of hops I added to the lauter tun, is the only hops added to this beer.

8/ Sugar, baby. And company!
So it seems there is some sugar present. The wort is very sweet at the moment.
And while boiling my cooler (because I forgot earlier), I suddenly got some company. I'm not complaining!

7/ Preparing the kveik
While transferring the mash, I also took some wort, cooled it down to ~35°C and added a pinch of Otterdal kveik, so that the yeast is awake and ready to go as soon as I pitch it to the main wort in a little while.
(Also a few pics from the sirculation from post 6)

6/ Transferring mash to lauter tun.
The used juniper is put in the bottom of the lauter tun to act as a filter. I threw in some hops, and then moved the mash over. I also added some more juniper infusion, and sirculated the wort a few times to make the mash set. In the beginning I got lots of juniper needles and grain fragments, but after a while the wort came out pure. Now we wait.

5/ Mash in.
Well, fuck. I somehow missed my mash in temperature, so now I'm starting out at 68-69°C instead of 74°C. This means more fermentable sugars, which means more alcohol and less sweetness in the beer - and not just a little, at that. Oh well. I guess I need to be more aggressive when mashing in using this setup.
Time for some cleaning and tidying up around here.

3/ The Juniper Infusion
So just checking in on the juniper infusion. Nice greenish-yellowy colour, and the smell is sooo good.
I'll give it a few more minutes still though. Getting ready to mash in..

2/ No malts, no ale.
I'm emptying the various bags and boxes in my basement, so these malts are old - I have no idea how much sugar they'll give me, or if the beer will turn out drinkable at all. The grains taste okay though, so I'm hopeful.
I'll mash in about 9 kgs of malt with approx 24 L of juniper infusion in about 30 minutes.

So! #Brewday 🧵
1/
Juniper infusion! The water got a bit hot while I was away picking the juniper branches, so I'm steeping them at around 90°C. Normally I would add them at around 75°C. Oh well, I'll leave it for about an hour.
(In an attempt to remove as many bugs, twigs and other stuff I don't want in my infusion, I shook each branch quite hard, and now my hand is paying the price. Yowch.)

#BrewDay today; probably the last dark beer I’ll do before starting on the #IPA’s etc as spring approaches 😁 #Grainfather #HomeBrewing kit doing the job admirably. Nice to sup on a previous brew whilst making a new batch 😋🍺
