Notes: 5/1/21-Batch #2 is Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, and Kohatu. Changed the malt base to fit what I want to move all of my pale ales/blondes toward. I will follow the mineral and acid additions I normally do for light, hoppy beers. With the new system, I ended up with too much H2O, so boil was really long, I need to adjust for future beers. Also, with the pump>Hopback>plate chiller>fermenter setup, I am not sure how much beer I lose in between, but the beer is coming out at 69F-SO WINNING!
Burton Minerals:
Using the new system of all strike/sparge water in one pot, all minerals are added to the water at the beginning. Acid added individual.
Mash: 2.5ml 75% Phosphoric, 2g CaSO4, 4.5 CaCl, 1.5g MgSO4
Sparge: 4ml 75% Phosphoric, 2g CaSO4, 4.5 CaCl, 1.5g MgSO4
Kettle: 3ml 75% Phosphoric
**4/4/2020-This is going to be a NZ hop experiment. I may change the name, but it falls into the category of APA or Hoppy Blonde, so I may leave it the same. I plan to adjust the water chem for this beer to bring up the acidity (lower ph). Excellent flavor of the hops and the biscuit malt. Fermented at 63-66F. Kegged on 4/11/2020. Went fast. Batch #1 was Dr. Rudi and Taiheke Hops. |

Notes: 2 Oranges worth of Zest
2 Orange Peels, pith scraped off.
6 Oranges fruit separated.
Zest two of the oranges. Set aside to add to last 15 minutes of boil.
Peel the oranges and separate the sections. Save the peels from two oranges, and scrape off as much of the pith as possible to reduce bitterness.
Place fruit and peels in cheese cloth, add to pot of water and heat to 160F, then let it steep while it cools. Drain and add to fermenter before pitching yeast. |

Notes: perfectly decent example of a classic english amber ale. Quite malty and veers to soft and sweet with little bitterness.
reminds me of a pint of Tetleys or Hobgoblin. lovely colour and very easy to drink.
Personally i'd add a few more bittering units next time to balance it out. |
