Notes: Version 8 of North Cro Irish Red, adapted from Captain Crack Sparrow, from the You Tube Channel THE APARTMENT BREWER.
This style is a good fit for an overnight saccharification rest, if desired. The mash is not a multistep mash, so this works well. If done as a regular mash, it should be a 75 minute mash.
YEAST
Using White Labs WLP004, Irish Ale Yeast. One Pure Pitch pouch should provide sufficient yeast cells for an Irish Red. Check date on pouch to determine if a starter is needed, depending on the date of manufacture.
MASHING
Mash in at 152° F. Stir rapidly. After all is combined very well, allow to rest about 10 min, then measure pH. If it is higher than 5.45, add acid to adjust.
.....PROCEED WITH MASHING (Choose one method).....
OVERNIGHT MASH
Once temperature is stabilized at 152° F, set power for heating element at 60% power. Set Brew Commander to sustain this temperature overnight, then allow mash to continue overnight. DO NOT TURN ON THE PUMP NOW! Recirculation should be started in the morning.
The next morning...
Around 8:30 am, record the temperature shown by the Brew Commander. Now, stir the mash, see if temperature changes. Record this temperature to compare with mash temperature shown before mash was stirred.
Open all valves that.need to be opened, and begin recirculation.
Stir the mash. Measure pH after 10 min in, and add acid if necessary. Check the pre-boil gravity to determine that it is near or at 1.033.
Increase power to 85% and ramp-up to 168° F for the mash-out/vorlauf. Mash-out is of 15 minute duration.
REGULAR MASH
Mash for 75 minutes at 152° F, checking pH and gravity to determine if it is necessary to mash longer than 75 minutes. Pre-Boil Gravity should be at or near 1.033. Check pH, and adjust. If gravity is not at or near 1.033, mash longer.
MASH OUT
Increase power to 85% and ramp-up to 168° F for the mash-out/vorlauf. Mash-out is of 15 minute duration.
RAISING THE GRAIN BASKET
Turn off recirculation. Raise the grain basket and hang on side of kettle as usual.
Turn off valves, making sure the 3-way whirlpool valve is open only on the RIGHT side, not the mash recirculating side. Remove small hose from recirculation flow meter, and allow to empty into a vessel, then put liquid back in kettle. Connect long recirculation hose to left side of 3-way valve.
RECIRCULATION OVER GRAINS (Optional)
Secure recirculation hose over grain basket using a clamp. Now, open 3-way valve to center position. Start recirculation, regulating flow rate through pump exit valve. Allow to recirculate over grains for 15 minutes at a moderate flow rate.
DRAINING GRAIN BASKET
Adjust 3-way valve so recirculation valve (left side) is closed. Remove long recirculation hose and allow to drain into vessel, then return liquid to kettle.
Allow grain basket to drain for 15 minutes, then remove basket and hang over bucket to catch remaining fluid draining. In the meantime, allow whirlpool recirculation to proceed as liquid ramps up to a boil. When draining is complete, add remaining liquid to kettle.
RAMPING UP TO A BOIL
Turn off pump, shut off all valves, then MAKE SURE BREW COMMANDER IS SET IN BOIL MODE. Set power at 85-95%. Drain all hoses into bucket, then collect sample for measuring OG, pH, etc. Put remaining liquid in kettle. Continue with ramp up to boil.
***NEW**Caramel Draw
This is an old technique where a small portion of the wort (1 quart in this recipe) is drawn off when the boil commences, boiled hard separately in a saucepan for 18-20 min), set aside and then added back to the main boil with 10 minutes remaining.
The intense heat creates Maillard reactions and caramelization.
Results:
• deeper ruby red color
• richer malt complexity
• subtle caramel/toffee
• no roast bitterness
BOIL
60 minute boil, with the hop addition for the entire boil. When 10 minutes remain, add the wort which was boiled separately, as well as yeast nutrients and the Whirfloc tablet.
WHIRLPOOL
Regular whirlpool, 15 minutes, no hop additions
CHILLING
PITCH YEAST
FERMENTATION IN CHEST FREEZER AT 65 DEG F.
Conduct fermentation at 65 degrees, THEN after 3-4 days allow temperature to rise to 68 deg F to finish. |
