Notes: Note to all - this is an attempt at a CASKED type ale. It might work as bottled beer, it might not. It is EXPERIMENTAL.

This is an English Strong Bitter (old style cask ale taste profile) a Golden Strong Bitter with a Cask Malt flavor. Originally made by Sam Smith Brewery, one of my favorite UK Breweries.

Mash in with all grains at 140 initially, raising the temperature while stirring to 151 to hold for 90 minutes. Batch sparge with an additional 12 quarts of water to collect 6 gallons of sweet wort.

Bring the wort to a boil and add the hops. (Yes, this is in the recipe, but I initially tried the calculator at 30 minutes and I had a more sedate 43 IBUs. Thought about splitting it at 45 minutes...but it does have raw brown sugar introduced 7 days before bottling or kegging - this should provide a kind of "casked" taste as the yeast should re-ferment. Yeah - this can be a disaster...wondering if I might make a tiny little batch and see what happens if I secondary it in a minikeg - no gas, pinch of yeast - like you would for a REAL cask. I think I would need a spunding valve to offgas the excess CO2.)

The recipe calls to add the molasses and sugar, dissolved in a little wort, added "during the boil". I wouldn't add it until 15 minutes prior to the end, so it has less of a chance to scorch and burn. At the same time, add the whirlfloc tablet and yeast nutrient.

The modifications so far.
Recipe was for 20 quarts - I needed 5.5 in the fermentor so I can guarantee 5 gallons in the keg. So I raised the fermentables to:

7 lbs of 2 row from 5 lbs
12 ozs of Torrified Barley from 8 oz
10 ozs of light crystal from 6 oz

Used Windsor instead of "Brewer's Yeast" - suited the final gravity

Messed around with the hop schedule - if you put them all in for 90 minutes, you get 60+ IBUs which is way out of character for a strong bitter - 50 IBUs is about tops. So I changed the Fuggles to 2 oz from 2.5 after I made the fuggles go in at 60 minutes and the Goldings at 30. That gets you to 48 IBUs.

Notes: Overall Impression:
Hoppy, bitter, and moderately strong like an American IPA, but with some caramel, toffee, and/or dark fruit malt character. Retaining the dryish finish and lean body that makes IPAs so drinkable, a Red IPA is a little more flavorful and malty than an American IPA without being sweet or heavy.

Aroma:
A moderate to strong fresh hop aroma featuring one or more characteristics of American or New World hops, such as tropical fruit, stone fruit, citrus, floral, spicy, berry, melon, pine, resinous, etc. Many versions are dry hopped and can have an additional fresh hop aroma; this is desirable but not required. Grassiness should be minimal, if present. A medium-low to medium malty-sweet aroma mixes in well with the hop selection, and often features caramel, toffee, toasty, and/or dark fruit character. Fruitiness from yeast may also be detected in some versions, although a neutral fermentation character is also acceptable. A restrained alcohol note may be present, but this character should be minimal at best. Any American or New World hop character is acceptable; new hop varieties continue to be released and should not constrain this style.

Appearance:
Color ranges from light reddish-amber to dark reddish-copper. Should be clear, although unfiltered dry-hopped versions may be a bit hazy. Medium-sized, off-white to cream-colored head with good persistence.

Flavor:
Hop flavor is medium to very high, and should reflect an American or New World hop character, such as citrus, floral, pine, resinous, spicy, tropical fruit, stone fruit, berry, melon, etc. Medium-high to very high hop bitterness. Malt flavor should be medium-low to medium, and is generally clean but malty-sweet up front with medium-dark caramel, toffee, toasty and/or dark fruit malt flavors. The character malt choices and the hop selections should complement and enhance each other, not clash. The level of malt flavor should not adversely constrain the hop bitterness and flavor presentation. Low yeast-derived fruitiness is acceptable but not required. Dry to medium-dry finish; residual sweetness should be medium-low to none. The bitterness and hop flavor may linger into the aftertaste but should not be harsh. A very light, clean alcohol flavor may be noted in stronger versions.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-light to medium body, with a smooth texture. Medium to medium-high carbonation. No harsh hop-derived astringency. Very light, smooth alcohol warming not a fault if it does not intrude into overall balance.

Comments:
Previously might have been a sub-genre of American Amber Ales or Double Red Ales, hoppier and stronger than the normal products, but still maintaining the essential drinkability by avoiding sweet flavors or a heavy body or finish.

History:
A modern American craft beer style, based on American IPA but with the malt flavors of an American Amber Ale.

Characteristic Ingredients:
Like an American IPA, but with medium or dark crystal malts, possibly some character malts with a light toasty aspect. May use sugar adjuncts. American or New World finishing hops with tropical, fruity, citrusy, piney, berry, or melon aspects; the choice of hops and character malts is synergistic – they must complement each other and not clash.

Style Comparison:
Like the difference between an American Amber Ale and an American Pale Ale, a Red IPA will differ from an American IPA with the addition of some darker crystal malts giving a slightly sweeter, more caramelly and dark fruit-based balance. A Red IPA differs from an American Strong Ale in that the malt profile is less intense and there is less body; a Red IPA still has an IPA balance and doesn’t trend towards a barleywine-like malt character. A Red IPA is like a stronger, hoppier American Amber Ale, with the characteristic dry finish, medium-light body, and strong late hop character.

OG: 1.056 – 1.070
FG: 1.008 – 1.016
ABV: 5.5 – 7.5%
IBUs: 40 – 70
SRM: 11 – 19

Notes: Directions: Mash the two-row malt, wheat malt, and flaked oats in 5 quarts of water. Hold temperature at 154°F. for 60 minutes. Strain the wort into the brew kettle, then rinse grains with 1 gallon of water at 170°F., collecting run-off in the brew kettle. Mix in liquid malt extract and add clean water to bring boil volume to 3.5 gallons. Bring to a boil, add hops, and boil for 60 minutes. Add the orange peel and coriander in the last 10 minutes of the boil. Chill wort, top off to 5 gallons, and stir to mix and aerate. Pitch yeast and ferment at 65F for one week, then transfer to secondary for two weeks. Bottle with priming sugar and condition for two weeks. Optional: serve with a slice of orange. -

Notes: Mengden meske- og skyllevann du bør bruke kommer an på utstyret og metoden du brygger med. Som et anslag kan vi si at du kan bruke 20 l meskevann og 13,7 l skyllevann til dette ølet. Noen bryggemaskiner (f.eks. Speidel Braumeister) kan kreve større mengder meskevann. Sjekk alltid manualen på utstyret du bruker.

I dette ølet kan et mer avansert meskeskjema være verdt å prøve:
55 grader i 15 min (proteinsteg)
63 grader i 45 min (beta-amylasesteg)
72 grader i 15 min (alfa-amylasesteg)
77 grader i 5 min (utmesk)

ELLER:
Mesking på 66 grader i 75 min. Utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min hvis du har mulighet til å øke temperatur i mesken.

Kjøl ned til 9 grader før pitching av gjær.

Gjæring på 10 grader til 2/3 av FG er nådd (typisk etter 10-14 dager). Øk deretter gradvis (ca. 1 grad pr. dag) til 17 grader. Hold på 18 grader i 2-3 dager. Senk deretter til 10 grader eller lavere før tapping (totalt 20-28 dager).

Gjæralternativer: WLP820, WLP830, WLP833, WLP920

Notes: primary ferment at 52F.

raise temp to 67 for 4-6 days for diaceytl rest.

lower temp to 37F and lager for 4-8 weeks.

carbonate in fresh keg.

add lime at kegging/carbonation. (18 grams/1 pack in each keg) - after brewing this several times, 18g of the crystallized lime is HEAVY. It’s drinkable if you love lime. But moving forward, probably only adding 9-10 grams per 5 gallon brew.

mash for 90, boil for 75.
I’ve brewed this beer twice, so far. First as a 5 gal, then a 10.
In the first brew, the yeast stalled, I think I under-pitched, so the abv was way low.
In the second, 10 gallon brew, there was clear channeling in the mash tun around the sides, and the OG was lower than expected.

Third time is a charm! - Third brew went very well, no channeling, crystal clear lautering, good mash efficiency (91%). Healthy starter, expect good fermentation.

This third iteration of brew was entered in a brewery competition in Lexington VA - Heliotrope Brewery, and took SECOND place. (Fall 2024).

Made a few updates for annual brew #4, updated 2 row to 6 row malt, added carapils. Also, subbed out some hop varieties. Liberty, for bittering, for obvious reasons, and some Citra at flameout to hope for more depth in the citrus (lime) flavor. Adjusted to try to hit around 4.5% abv, 17.5 IBU.
