Notes: Mash started 09:45
pH tested 10:00 = 6, tested again 10:50 maybe just over
Started raising to boil at 10:55
Drew off 14l for a half batch at 11:10
First batch reached boil at 11:25
I split this batch into two halves. One was aroma hopped with 45g Mosaic and 20g Challenger; then dry hopped with a similar amount. The other was aroma and dry hopped with similar amounts of Citra, Centennial and Chinook. Note these were in batches of 12.5 litres so the hopping rates are massively high.
The first batch - Citra, Centennial and Chinook was undrinkable and the first batch I have ever had to throw away. Just way too bitter and too overpowering a hop flavour. It was like the brewdog barley wine but even hoppier. A slightly TCP/medicinal flavour. Just too much. I think the Chinook may have tipped it over the edge.
The 2nd batch - Mosaic, Northdown and Challenger - was right at the edge but drinkable.
Also, I didn't like WLP007 very much. It seemed to stop towards the end of the fermentation and I had to restart it by adding another starter. It was very flocculent and formed a putty-like sludge that was easy to harvest though - but I didn't want to keep it. |

| Notes: Too much roasted. Tasted a bit bitter/astringent before carb in the keg, though that mellowed out over a few weeks. Head wasn’t quite creamy, a little darker khaki colored. Throttling back the roasted barley a bit should help with both flaws and make this better. |

Notes: Primary yeast pitch with British Ale yeast: ferment for 4-5 days.
Second yeast pitch with Champagne yeast, and dry hop with 0.5 oz Saaz leaf Hops; ferment for 3-4 days.
[Original recipe calls for 7# Vienna malt. 12.2 oz cane sugar may be needed to get ABV to 4.5%. If able to get hands on more Vienna malt... Remember to get additional 1.45 lbs to get ABV to 4.5%.]
**An acquaintance from Queensland said that an Australian brewery would use Champagne yeast in their recipes... I am unsure as to why, but I deduce that with a fresh brew, the Champagne yeast will provide an acidity/crispness, since it will convert all residual sugars. I can only assume that there needs to be an ale yeast to pitch initially, so that there are some appropriate breadiness and esterification to the flavors. A high amount of dextrin-rich malt may counterbalance the inevitable tart flavor.
Here's hoping. Cheers! |

Notes: Estimated sprage water 23L
Mash Temp Target 64deg @ 90 Mins (dry)
Mash water additions.
- Calcium Chloride 2g
- Bi Carb 3g
- Calcium SUlphate 6g
- Calcium Carbonate 10g
- Epson Salt 4g
- Salt 2g
Wort after boil was 18L, should of been 23L. Mistakenly added to much water so the final amount of wort was 27L! It WAS a ESB or Premium nows its just a bitter. Note: Use lid and decrease boil loss next time.
Mash Strike was 71deg resulted in a mash of about 68. Lower mash strike 2-3 deg from recommendation of sparge pal.
Very Classic tasting English bitter, dry, resin/wood tones from the hops, some toffee & bread like favours in the background but overall mouth feel is light and silky.

Notes: Nice and tasty but think it could do with some nelson earlier in the boil and more mosaic later (essentially evening out their additions). Reduce 1min addition to 40g. Carbonate to 2.0
Scored 90 in the Craft Beer Co Homebrew awards. Could have done with a longer finish. |
