Notes: Using a starter from last batch - part WLP005 and part Voss Kviek.
The mash SG was so high I had to keep sparging to get the SG down to 1.045. After adding hops and boil and cool it was apparent the color was not there. I added 1 more oz each of Roasted Barley and Midnight Wheat, along with the rest of the package of EKG hops. After pressure cooking late addition and tasing it was very harsh (bitter) so I added 3/4 gallon of wort (at 1.050) from Dark DME and RO water. This mellowed out the excessive bitterness. Yeast was pitched in early evening. Ended up over 5 gallons of wort to ferment.
3o-15-18 Brix = 3.80 or 1.0148 S.G. |

Notes: Update: Brewersfriend added A38 Juice, updated yeast in the recipe.
Had a few cascade hops ready to be picked so I dumped a few in at 5 minutes.
Ferment 64F for four to five days, bump to 68F till fermentation completes.
Update: Skip the cascade wet hops the beer is better without the cascade. |

Notes: Brewed 01.09.15
First brewday with 30PSI KAB4 burner, first 5-gallon brewday in a while.
Brew went well. KAB4 is a G-D beast. I had a massive boilover with just 7 gallons in a 15 gallon kettle.
Ended up with 4.5 gallons in a 6 gallon fermenter. OG was only 1.060 vs. the expected 1.068. Had reserved about an extra gallon of wort for starters... leave that be next time. Need to dial in the new burner in my system.
Chilled to 78 degree F and allowed to chill overnight in sealed kettle (alum stockpot). Pitched full starter and beer to fermenter 01.10.15 ~0900. Temp at 64 degrees F.
01.11.15 am. Active fermentation.
01.12.15 pm, pulled dirty airlock and capped with foil. Small blowoff.
01.15.15 pulled foil cap and added clean airlock.
03.20.15 some tasting notes - Grain bill is needlessly complex and unfortunately results in a competition with the yeast character. For the next brew, recommend a much simpler grain bill - see Brewing Classic Styles. |

Notes: The Pilsner was an efficiency addition, since mine was quite low. If yours is normal you can leave out the Pilsner malt altogether. This beer had a slight issue during fermentation. On a few days the temp exceeded 75 degrees, but was quickly chilled in a large bucket and kept there for a week at 65 degrees. Right before the cold crash and during the chill phase a salty and slightly funky smell was coming from the airlock and the beer. Samples tasted fine, but had a bad smell which therefor inhibited taste mildly.
I thought perhaps the higher temps caused the yeast to produce off flavors and after researching London 1028 I found that it can produce sulfur notes at high temps. I wouldn't call what I smelled sulfur, but since it is known to produce some odd notes at times I figured I could let this pass. I also though the yeast itself was the cause, so I added finnings during the crash to drop it out.
Good news is after bottling and letting them condition for another week the odd smell is completely gone.
Taste Notes:
Aroma - Smells roasty with a hint of sweetness and malt. A tad earthy from the Goldings.
Color - SRM is spot on.
Taste - Roast up front with hop bitterness as the roast recedes. No pronounced big malt flavor.
Body - Dry, balanced. |
