Tywyllwch

Tywyllwch is the Welsh word for darkness. Tywyllwch is a brown ale destined for bottling.

Can I make Tywyllwch? The answer is maybe! This beer is produced using the full mash method. While this is not complicated it does take a lot of explaining so my advice it to buy the book listed below.

First Prize in the Llaingoch and District Horticultural Show 2004.

• 2800g Pale Malt
• 200g Crystal Malt
• 230g Chocolate Malt
• 400g Flaked Maize
• 200g Cane Sugar (Tate and Lyle)
• 70g Fuggles Hops
• Water

• Make sure everything is clean and sterilized!
• Most of the equipment can be found in a kitchen. Brewing bins, barrels and demi johns can be bought new, but have a look in car boot sales and second hand shops you never know what you may find.
• The bottles again can be bought, but why not have a few Newcastle Brown Ales and use the empties?
• The only bit of equipment that you may have trouble finding is a crowner. However, for a sample of your brew you can always use mine!
