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... |

Notes: Using this base recipe to test various hop flavors. Leave the Perle and switch out only the last 2 hops.
STRAIN: 1272 AMERICAN ALE II:
Ferment at warmer temperatures to accentuate hop character with an increased fruitiness. Or, ferment cool for a clean, light citrus character. It attenuates well and is reliably flocculent, producing bright beer without filtration.
Or
STRAIN: 1332 NORTHWEST ALE:
It produces a malty and mildly fruity ale with good depth and complexity.
*********************
RESULTS: Good tasting simple beer to see what the flavors of cascade really taste like. Great cheap beer for the weekend. |

Notes: Steep the grains in the mid 150s for 45-60 minutes.
It is assuming a 5 gallon batch,
3 gallon - 60 minute boil, and adding the extract at the beginning.
If you can do a full boil you probably wouldn't need the extra 1oz.Citra at 60 minutes.
Extract notes from the forum thread author:
As far as First Wort Hop / Steeping hops.... I would add them with around 10 min left in steep (before rinse), and put them in a different bag than the grain. Then you can leave them in for the whole boil.
