Notes: This was my first beer — no recirculation, with efficiency issues and a lot of inexperience, but luckily the result turned out excellent. The recipe has plenty of room for improvement (it wasn’t designed as a Strong Blonde Ale).
Citrusy/hoppy
Strong alcohol kick

OG: 1074
FG: 1014
ABV: 8,2%
IBU: 35-40
EBC: 12
This recipe was my first batch, made from a kit and loosely based on the manufacturer’s reference recipe, with several modifications — only the target values for OG, FG, and ABV were kept.
Batch sparge mash: 3L of water and 625g of malt per batch, mashed for 60 minutes at 69°C.
Boil: Extended from 60 to 90 minutes due to low efficiency according to the recipe.
Hop additions: 4g at the start, 14g at 60 minutes, and 4g during whirlpool for 10 minutes.
There was a significant volume loss, ending up with 2.4L of wort.
A simple (non-recirculated) filtration was done.
The entire yeast packet from the kit was pitched (overpitching), and fermentation lasted 3 weeks.
After that, a 3-day cold crash was performed, followed by bottling preparation.
The beer was bottle-conditioned for 4 weeks. |
