Notes: ==============================
9/14/2022
beer came out great, belma hops are delicious. the FG was down to 1005 making the abv on the high side and the body kind of thin and even the color is pretty light. next time for pale ale, should add some crystal malt to give a little more depth in color and body. also consider mashing higher or not as long and maybe do mashout. i think current mash is creating sugars that are a little too fermentable?
==============================
9/1/2022
brew night last night. the BIAB went well, no sparge. the volume came out exactly as BF predicted, although it boiled down from 6.5 to under 5 gallons in an hour, so need to account for that next time. it was orignally 1070 OG, topped up to 5 gallons for 1060, then topped up more to about 5.5 or maybe 5.66 for 1055. (did not want to end up at 1060, too strong for this beer and would require more hops for balance, at that point making it an ipa)
decided on a whim to add a little more bittering hops to end up at the upper range of IBU. my lighter beers using tap water in general come out on the sweet side but most times that is without water adjustments.
last minute decided to switch to us05 instead of voss
==============================
8/31/2022
starting up another pale. the last one i vaguely remember coming out bad, cant remember why though. maybe somethign to do with yeast, not sure. but the base recipe is fine...
the water adjustments are as good as its gonna get on tap water. this beer would probably be much better with RO water and more precise adjustments...
changing for belma hops this time and adjusting efficiency for GF, i think i will do a true BIAB style mash today. so adding a little more to malt bill just in case
==============================
3/14/2022
repurposing for huell melon pale ale. with updated water profile results from ward, my water profile for this beer now looks a bit out of wack by the numbers but it worked well for the last beer so im just going to roll with it for now until i have time to figure out how to fix it.
==============================
2/8/2022
This lutra is taking forever. Tonight its 10 brix which is like 1026 and 4.6%. Tastes sweet. Still bubbling smh
==============================
2/3/2022
measured 1060 OG i think i got more than 5.5 gallons. i accidentally grained into my entire volume of hot liquor. after mash i sparged a little with about 1.5 or 2 gallons of cold water. pre boil vol was like 8.5 gallons
==============================
2/1/2022
revamping summer madness for this beer which will feature mighty axe julius hops instead of cascade. going with lutra again.
==============================
9/13/2021
last week measured 1013 FG for 4.8%abv. but it does not taste that light. nice body and carapils flavor, also the dry hop was faint but nice. could maybe use more dry hop but in the interest of keeping it light and cheap and not-session-ipa, i think its perfect just like this.
==============================
9/1/2021 - brew day
Not too confident on 70% eff dropping to 60, bumping 2row from 975 to 1150. Should do better with water but i think I'm gonna use tap and leave out acid
==============================
7/22/2021
Just had Port City Essential Pale Ale recently which has to be the tastiest pale ale on the planet...at very least it is one of my absolute favorite beers. this time it strikes me that it has a lot of not bitter hop flavor and decent backbone while still being 5.5%.
Their website says 35ibu so im knocking down the warrior contribution from 0.75 to 0.4oz. Adding more cascade in the flameout and dry hop (1oz-->2oz)
consider going 3oz in dry hop. maybe some pilsner malt or something else to add more malt backbone. vienna? but the carapils might be fine. at least to start.
need to review water. would like to use tap and adjust but unsure rn, been having off mash pH readings and low efficiency.

Notes: probably use local water with alkalinity of 20 and 3:1 Sulphate forwrds
Alkalinity 230, so aiming for 30 meaning 2ml/L of acid.
1.6ml/L H2SO4, 0.4ml/L HCl gives nearly 3:1
39ml of H2SO4 and 10ml of HCl
28L at 1047 preboil giving 92% eff preboil
26L at 1054 post boil giving north of 95% eff

Notes: I wrote this recipe for using up all the odd/spare quantities of brewing ingredients on hand.
MASH
1.Heat 7L of water to strike temperature of 68℃, then add all the malt as well as flaked wheat
2.Mash for 70 min. stirring every 10 min., maintaining 63-65℃ throughout
3.Mash out at 75℃ after 70 min.
SPARGE
Sparge very slowly with 8.6L of 75℃ water, to get total 15.1L volume (0.5L lost to grain absorption).
BOIL
Boil for 60 min.:
1.Add 120g dextrose at start (to increase ABV)
2.Add 6g citra hops immediately after hot break
3.At end of boil, top up volume to 11.2L if boil was aggressive and volume comes up short
TRANSFER TO FERMENTOR
1.Rapidly cool wort to 22℃ using a copper immersion chiller and recirculating water from an ice bath
2.Transfer into fermentor by pouring wort from a height through a very fine mesh sieve
3.Discard hop remains and other gunk collected in the sieve (approx 200mL lost)
PITCHING
1.Pitch 8g of dry yeast into fermentor, uniformly on the surface area of the wort
2.Shake fermentor vigourously to disperse yeast and further aerate the wort
FERMENTING & DRY HOPPING
Ferment for 5 days at 28-29℃. Gently shake fermentor every two days to rouse yeast settled in the trub.
1.For first three days, use a blow-off tube with exit placed in a bowl of sanitizer solution
2.After three days and/or initial vigorous fermentation has subsided:
• Remove blow off tube and replace with sanitizer-filled airlock
• Add 6g citra hop pellets crushed into powder, evenly across surface of fermentor
BOTTLING
1.Add 80g of dextrose into large priming vessel
2.Rack the beer into priming vessel using racking cane, tubing and autosiphon
3.Avoid siphoning out any krausen as well as trub
4.Fully dissolve the priming dextrose into the beer, employing gentle stirring to prevent aeration
5.Siphon primed beer into airtight bottles that can withstand beer carbonation pressures
Enjoy after 5 days bottle conditioning.
SANITIZATION
Brew day:
• Thermometer
• Sieve
• Pouring jug
• Fermentor
• Blow-off tube
Bottle day:
• Large priming vessel
• Racking cane
• Tubing
• Autosiphon
• Bottles |
