Notes: 2 oz heather tips 2 oz meadowsweet for 30 min
2 oz heather tips 2 oz meadowsweet, 2 g sweet gale for 5 min
2 oz heather tips steeped @160-165° for 30 min, cooled overnight & added at bottling
Honey boiled, cooled and added to the fermentor at high krausen.
This turned out about as well as I had hoped, although I also didn't really quite know what to expect. What it is NOT is a big sticky sweet mess from not having hop bitterness. There is some dryness from the honey, a bit of roasty bitterness from the brown malt, perhaps a tart note from the acidulated malt, and a fair amount of je-ne-sais-quois from the Heather and other botanicals. 5% of peated malt is about right, I wouldn't go any higher than that. The oats (because Scotland) gave it a nice mouthfeel. I got the honey from a friend who is a beekeeper, and it has really nice character, imparting a certain meady-ness to the brew.
It's really interesting and good - just don't expect "beer" in the usual sense. |

Calcium Chloride (CaCl2): 2 grams
Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate, CaSO4): 4 grams
Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate, MgSO4): 1 gram
Notes
Grain Bill: The grain bill includes Pilsner malt for a light, clean base, flaked rice and corn to lighten the body and add fermentable sugars, and Vienna malt to provide a slight malt backbone. This combination ensures a light color (SRM 4-6) and a balanced malt profile that won't overshadow the hops.
Hop Schedule: The hop schedule is designed to provide a strong hop character typical of an IPA. Magnum is used for bitterness, while Cascade and Simcoe add flavor and aroma. Citra at flameout and Mosaic for dry hopping provide intense hop aromas and flavors, ensuring the beer is hop-forward. The remaining Simcoe Cryo Hops are used both in the boil and dry hop to fully utilize them.
Yeast: Mangrove Jack M54 Californian Lager Yeast is chosen for its clean fermentation profile at ale temperatures, which is ideal for a Cold IPA. It helps to achieve a crisp finish and allows the hop character to shine.
Mash Steps:
Infusion Mash at 64°C for 60 minutes: This step ensures good enzymatic activity for converting starches into fermentable sugars.
Mash Out at 76°C for 10 minutes: This step stops enzymatic activity and makes the wort more fluid, aiding in lautering.
Water Chemistry: Adjustments are made to enhance hop perception and provide a balanced profile. The recommended additions aim for a sulfate-to-chloride ratio that favors hop bitterness and crispness.
Fermentation Steps: The primary fermentation at 18°C ensures a clean profile, while the diacetyl rest at the same temperature helps to remove any buttery off-flavors. The cold crash at 2°C helps to clarify the beer before packaging.
This updated hop schedule should bring your IBUs closer to the target range while using up your existing hop inventory. |

| Notes: This beer came out with a really great flavor. If you are looking for a really nice Schwarzbier this turned out excellent. The IBU's seem high, but the calculations on here are not the best for fresh, whole cone hops. Adjust your ratio down when using pellets. I use the ratio of 3:1 whole cone to pellet ounces (i.e. 3 ounces of whole cones hops to 1 ounce pelletized hops). It has worked well for me. |
