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: Very light and extremely fruity IPA which is sure to blow your taste buds away! Hopped with THREE TIMES the typical American IPA levels, which citrus notes central to the aroma and flavour profile.
Use English or American Ale yeast.
O.G. 1.053
F.G. 1.014
ABV: 5.2%

Notes: Yeast used was 2 packets of Mangrove Jack's Workhorse Yeast. Based on their website, Medium flocculation and High attenuation. Stirred 2 packets in 200mL of water at 90 degrees.
Mixed canned pumpkin with honey and baked at 350 for 60 minutes. Let cool, placed in nylon grain bag and boiled for 60 minutes.
Steeped specialty grains in 2 gallons of water 150 - 160 for 30 minutes. Sparged with 1 gallon of water 170.
Was only left with 2 gallons of wort after straining into fermenter. Added 3.5 gallons of water to bring total to 5.5. OG was 1.068 not 1.079 as calculated when assuming 35% steeping grains efficiency. May have been due to wort loss because of boiled pumpkin? Finished at 1.020.
Sliced Vanilla Beans lengthwise and scraped out seeds and everything inside into 4 oz of vodka. Chopped bean into 1/4 inch pieces and added to solution as well. Marinated for 1 week and then added to secondary.
Add .5 tsp of Capella's Graham Cracker Extract to secondary. Add the other .5 tsp to bottling bucket. |
