Notes: Uses Maris Otter Malt Extract for the liquid extract listed in Fermentables.
Uses Briess Cherrywood Smoked Malt for American Smoked Malt listed in Steeping Grains.
2nd half of Maris Otter to be added at 45 min point of boil(last 15 minutes)so IBU's will be slightly lower than indicated due to calculation based on 10 min duration for late additions. |

Notes: Add grains to muslin bag, tie open end. Steep grains in 45 minutes in 5.5 gallons hot water (150-155 degF); then remove muslin/grain bag.
Add liquid malt extracts and stir until uniform--may have to heat malt extract jars/bags in hot water to make less viscous and easier to pour.
Heat to boil, add hops/flavoring agents as organized (start at 60 minute mark, then stop/kick boil at 0 minute mark).
Cool as capable to equipment (if using ice, use 18# ice and remove 2.25 gallons water from start boil).
Pour wort in sanitized fermenter, pitch yeast as desired (at 68-85 deg F). Ferment (primary) for 2-3 weeks; add vanilla beans & cocoa nibs soaked in bourbon (you can add extra bourbon if you wish). Ferment (secondary) for 1-2 weeks. Rack and bottle, let bottle-prime for 10-14 days. |

Notes: Mighty Duck! is an attempt at an extract Kwak clone.
Aiming to produce 40x330ml bottles from this brew so I need at least 13.2l available at bottling time. I'd need an estimated 15-16l going in to the primary fermenter.
Actually got 17l going in to the primary, topped up a little, to 18.5l, to bring the OG down from 1.078 to 1.070.
If I'd left the OG at 1.078 and fermentation ends at the anticipated 1.016 then the ABV would be 8.14% - closer to Kwak's actual 8.4%.
FG reading is 1.010 giving an ABV of 7.88%
Moved 15.5l to a secondary FV after primary completed. Is clearing nicely after the first week.
Bottled 46 x 330ml bottles from the secondary. Very little sediment and a good, clear, beer going in to the bottles.
Beer at bottling was sitting at 11C hence the lower volume of brewing sugar (corn sugar) than I'd normally expect for a target CO2 volume of 2.2.
1st photo is Kwak on the left, Mighty Duck on the right after 1 week in the secondary. Has the banana hit you get from Kwak.
The flavour development in the bottle has been interesting.
For the first month of bottle conditioning I tasted a bottle at week 1 and 2 and the banana flavour was reducing with bitterness increasing. I waiting until it had a full month in the bottle before tasting again and it was the same change - even less banana and more bitterness.
Zero carbonation at the end of month 1.
Waiting until month 2 and a big change - banana flavour is starting to re-appear and that rich Belgian Dubbel flavour is starting to appear. The bitterness has almost completely dissipated.
End of month 2 and the carbonation is starting to appear, a good hiss when the bottle opens but overall carbonation is light.
The beer is almost completely clear now too.
Now waiting for month 3... |
