Notes: FG of a degassed (vacuum) sample of Drakonic is 1.017 which would indicate an approx OG of 1.084 with 8.75% & WL 001 yeast.
Straight from Drake's website...
Malt: American 2-Row Barley, Weyermann Carafa Special 3, Simpsons Caramel Extra Dark, Simpsons Chocolate, Simpsons Roast Barley, Patagonia Crystal 35
Hops: Bittering – Warrior
Yeast: White Labs 001
Original Gravity: 19.9 degrees Plato
Alc/Vol: 8.75%
IBUs: 40
3/16/17 Brew day: actual mash temps performed are above and main mash Ph was 5.55. Batch sparge was 5.68 Ph. Resulting wort was 5 gal at 1.047 OG for a 65.33% efficiency. Final vol 1.5 gal at 1.106. 70 IBUs Following day read 1.75gal at 1.116 so I diluted with boiled RO water to 2.2 gal at 1.092 and 45 IBU's Added DAP nutrient and shook it up well. BTW Nottingham says on the packet that aeration is not required. I just didn't want a stuck ferment on such a big beer, haven't had one that I recall but I've been brewing 10 years.
3/20/17 Update: The ferment was pretty crazy, luckily it was a small volume in a large container. It tastes sweet but my sample reads 1.014 adjusted which means I have achieved 82% attenuation and 10.2% ABV. Biggest beer I ever made! Planned OG was 1.085 and 40+ IBU's with a BU/GU ratio of .48; I now have a .50 ratio. Not to goal but a good achievement. I would bitter this to 60 IBU's at least if I planned this OG and attenuation.
4/24/17 Update: FG is 1.013 which gives 10.32% ABV. At racking the brew smells somewhat reminiscent of Drakonic but I have little care if it is since it's a different beast. More roast I desire...Lots of booze and some esters present. Can't wait to get my ferm chamber all set up. |

Notes: Under oxygenate a little bit to help with ester and phenol production. Ferment around 72 degrees the first 2 days then bring the temp between 66- 68 degrees for the remainder of fermentation. Total fermentation of 14 days then bottle or keg. |

Notes: Going with lower crystal since this yeast leaves higher residual sweetness.
Looking for a very dry beer that's session worthy, but has good malt and hops- hops on the nose and up front.
Brewed on 07/03/15: Full 6 gallons at 12.3 Brix (1.047). Mashed @150.8. Pitched @68.
Filled dip stick to 7.25, ended with about 6.25 or so.
ON THE MONEY!
07/08/15: Raised temp to 68
07/11/15: Raised temp to 69
07/14/15: Raised temp to 70.
07/20/15: 4 days before kegging. Refractometer read 5.6 brix ( 1.0097 @4.8% alcohol via Sean T Calc) - Around 78% attenuation.
07/23/15: Kegged a full 5 gallons. 5.2 Brix (1.008FG @ 5% alcohol)
08/02/15: Sampled some and it's actually not as dry/crisp/hoppy as i wanted it. The big 10 min addition of hops is not accurate- It feels more like 20ish IBUs instead of 31.
I would hop to 35 and add finishing hops next time to around 40, and I would mash this at 148. I'll see what happens once it's fully carbed up. I might brew this again and then do a porter ;)
08/05/15: Sampled a full 20oz glass. It's actually a bit hoppier than I remember, and it looks beautiful and has hop presence - awesome summer beer.
Next time mashing at 148 and raising base IBUs by 5.
10/05/15: Tastes the last bits and the carbonic acid bite was mostly gone. The beer did lose a lot of freshness though and there wasn't a whole lot of malty sweetness anymore. Color wise it's very pretty. |
