Notes: Actual SRM appears to be about 25-26, Compare with Kulshun Red Cap both in color and taste. Mine is less IBU than the Kulshan.
Actual Measurements:
BG : 1.086
OG: 1.052
FG: 1.011
Primary fermentation was quick, 3-4 days in 5 gallon plastic carboy. Transferred to secondary 5 gallon plastic carboy on day 8. Cleared by day 16. Used a 5 gallon carboy as bottling bucket, to which bottling sugar/water had been previously added.
Loss from transfer amounted to 10 pints. so actual bottling was 30 pint bottles.
Allowed 15 days conditioning at 66F. Very drinkable, nice head that dissipates in about a minute. I suggest using more hops to increase the IBU as it is very light. |

Notes: BREW NOTES
First brewed 30/08/2015. Want to try push mash temp up and see whether improves mash efficiency.
MASH NOTES.
Only getting around 60-63% efficiency. Have tried all manner of things to bump up. Looked through old notes and remembered that even with a pre Tun heat up, I still need an extra 2 deg C on top of brewers friend calcs. Last 3 brews all around 64-65 deg C mash temp on purpose.(wanted drier beers then but efficiency suffered) This time have bumped up mash temp extra 2 deg aiming for 67-68 deg C over 90 mins. Extra 2 deg C last thing to test before changing to smaller esky cooler Tun.
Ambient temp 18 deg C (end of winter) 30/08/2015
I have tun insulated with cardboard and wrapped in blanket.
Single Infusion.
Grain temp 13 deg C
2.5 L/1kg grain
Strike (brewers Friend) 21L @ 77deg C.
Actual Strike 79.5 Deg C. Adjust for your equipment.
After 30 mins sitting on 67-68 Deg C. Stirred
After 60 mins sitting on 66 Deg C. Added 2L boiling water. No noticeable temp changed.
After 90 mins finished at
Mash Out
Raised temp to 68-69 deg C stir and mash for 10 more minutes = 4 liters @ boiling (adjust for your equipment)
Took first running's and Re-circ'd added
12 litres @ boiling to reach 77 deg C sacc
Lauter to desired wort volume (if needed)
34 L in brew pot (adjust for your equipment) this is a 25L batch. See above.
Pre Boil OG 10.30
BOIL NOTES
See hop schedule above. Adjust AA for IBU's in your area.

Whirl-flock 10 min to go

FERM NOTES
Nottingham yeast (Danstar) re-hydration 1.064 slightly high for 1 packet. I re-hydrated only.
Original Gravity 1.076 way higher but 22L
Final Gravity
ABV %
After BREW Notes
Mash temp rise to 68deg C haven't worked. Hit 1.076 but 22L. This is 63% which is my standard efficiency. I added 2L of fresh water to bring it down to 1.070 may add another 1L to make 1.067. Brewer's Friend calcs at 63% efficiency. Had my usual 34 liter to start boil. Left a bit more in pot so not as much trube went in, but still 6L off. Not sure why the extra boil off today.
The extra 2L of water isn't something I like to do, but ABV would be too high for 1 packet of dry yeast. Extra water will bring with some oxygen to aid yeast. Should it attenuate as per all my other brews 80%+ 1.010 i'll end up with an imperial-ish 7.8% 1.012 finish 7.6% down side is I wanted a hoppy plain-ish IPA lucky the extra IBU's are in it as it will still be a balanced beer with a 1.012+ finish.
FG 1.016 added extra water.ABV 6.69%

Notes: Transferir el mosto y la fruta al fermentador primario y aerear durante 1 minuto.
Añadir la levadura y aerear otro minuto.
Fermientación primaria llevará más tiempo del habnitual (15-20 días). Cuando los kiwis suban a la parte superior del cubo y estén casi blancos significará que se ha extraído todo el azucar y sabor.
Temperatura de fermentación 17-24.
Dejar acondicionar otros 10 días. |
