Notes: Brew day: Sunday March 30, 2013.
Steeped 0.5 lbs of 30-40L Crystal for 30 mins @160-170F. 1 TBSP of Irish Mosh @ 15 mins of boil.
Boil ended with 9L (2.4G). Topped up with three (and a bit) 1G water jugs.
OG: 1.042. 2 Gravity points lower than target. 2 possible reasons: (i) perhaps because I added a little bit too much water from the 4th water jug. (ii) I also pitched my yeast first and grabbed my gravity sample after. 2nd time in a row I made this mistake. (iii) I might not have added the full amount of LME. Its tough to get absolutely all of the extract out of the jug.
03/31: Signs of fermentation 12 hours after pitching.
Expectations: bare-bones, sessionable English best bitter with traditional characterisitcs from the Nottingham yeast and willamette hops (fruity/floral/peppery) and hopefully a well-balanced malt backbone with the crystal 40L and amber LME. Fermentation temp is a little high, around 23-24C, so it might have dominating fruity characteristics (hopefully not off-flavours).
Dry hopped with 1 oz. of Goldings hops. Probably domestic. Hopefully will add a subtle (maybe not even noticeable) earthy/spicy/floral aroma. Maybe it will complement the spiciness/floral of the willamete aroma hops.
Bottles:
30x355ml = 10.65L
10x800ml = 8L
2x750ml = 1.5L
4x500ml = 2L
TOTAL = 22.15L
Bottling day: 04/14/2014. 3 oz of corn sugar with 2 cups of boiled water to make 0.81 volumes of C02 (with 1.75 volumes of calculated C02). Broke my second hydrometer when reaching for my scale. :(
Tasting day: 05/12/2004. 2 weeks bottle conditioned, 2 weeks in fridge. Fuller's London Pride Premium Bitter for comparison.
Appearance: ASA: dark, ruby red and hazy. little to no head retention. FLP: golden orange and light, medium head the fades within 10 seconds.
Smell: ASA: slight caramel and nutty. Also pretty earthy. FLP: more of a "beer" smell and slightly metallic? Smells crisp. Floral and earthy.
Taste: caramel again. light and refreshing, sessionable. fairly malty with slight fruit notes. very enjoyable. low-medium bitterness. FLP: about same medium bitterness with more of an earthy character. Just as sessionable/enjoyable. I like mine a little better though.
Mouthfeel: little to no carbonation in both. no bubbles present. medium body for both? I dont see much of a difference in mouthfeel. FLP has a lighter mouthfeel/body. It just kind of rolls of the tongue. Mine is slightly more viscous.
Overall: both very drinkable, as they should be. Mine is overall more caramelly/nutty and feels heavier despite the much lower abv. I tend to like mine more as it falls more on the caramelly/fruity side, while FLP is earthy and resiny.

Notes: Based on the Dead Ringer (Northern Brewer) clone kit for Bell's Brewing "2 Hearted Ale". Utilizing Chinook hops in SMASH recipe to isolate flavor/aroma. 40L Briess Caramel in steep w/ 11 grams of Briess Carapils to increase foam/head retention and mouth feel. Hops are generic Chinook from Northern Brewer w/ AA on label.
Missed OG @ 1.059 and finished @ 1.014 (6.17% abv). 2 kegs (1 gal/ea.) and 5 six's (12 oz. @ 30/ea).
Tasting good, moderate hops w/ malt flavor. Favorable eval @ TVHB meeting. |

Notes: Recipe as per YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_ze-jIA74w
5 Gallon Batch
8 lbs Pilsen Malt Extract (box says PALE which is likely NZ LIGHT, whereas Pilsen is EXTRA LIGHT)
.5 Aromatic
.5 Wheat
.25 lb Caramunich
.10 Chocolate
2oz Tettnanger
.5oz Goldings (Styrian) hops 15 min
NB: in the recipe builder I have adjusted amounts to achieve the target values as below
NOTE: my boil kettle loses 3.5L per hour! Tend to lose 2L to trub at end of fermentation, hence if wanting 19L, need to start with 19 + 5.5 = 24.5
8 lbs LME = 6.7lbs DME = 3.039kg
Recipe states steep grains at 65oC +/- 10oC for 30 mins in one gallon of water - I will steep in the wort
Recipe states to crash cool below 27oC then pitch the yeast - I will aim to crash cool 1 - 2 oC below the fermentation temp for the yeast
Target OG is 1.069/1.070
Target SRM14
Target OG: 1.074
Target FG 0.016
Target IBU 23
ABV 7.3%
Target flavour: based on Chimay Red, a Belgian Ale with copper colour, a sweet and fruity aroma and a sweet flavour with traces of black currants |
