Notes: 2/15/16 Whirl Pooled and cooled to 65 degrees within 20 minutes. Orange peel and hops at 5 and 0 minutes were put in hop bags.
I had HORRIBLE efficiency. Had a 52%, which if you punch it in would make a 5.2 abv beverage. I forgot to give the mash a stir at the it's 60 minute mark and I let the water level drop below the grain line once or twice.:S Should be good either way, but I was interested in more malt character.
I was expecting a 75% efficiency. If that would of happened, IBUs would have lowered about 10 pts. and the OG would have hit up near 1.060.
I'll let you know what happens; for now I'll RAHAHB. cheers!
Tasting Notes:
4/12/16
Nose-bubblegum, sweet yeast character
Retains good a good head, and has a great mouth feel.
Color- slightly darker than expected. More pils color.
Mouth- Nice citrus provided by the hops as the light bitter creeps up after. Smooth, sweet wit beer characteristics slightly overpowered by hops. Does not quite meet BJCP category but defiantly a keeper. A friend called it a hoppy wit. I'm not quite sure what a good white ipa would taste like, considering what I have tasted, this is great.
Next time I would up the pilsner about to 60% and lowering the others to compose the 40 of the grain bill. Perhaps dry hope with Cascade or Ahtanum.
Hope this helps. CHEERS! |

Notes: My first brewing trials were at best uninformed at worst misguided. The advice from my LHBS wasn't enough for a clear explaination until, the suggestion of Dave Lines' books published by AW. With these (the big book of beer & brewing beers like those you buy) in hand the procedure became understandable and process replicable.
This was a while ago in the mid-80's when home brewing information, ingredients, recipes, equipment, and knowledgble dialogue not as simple to find as it can be today. My interest piqued I continued to seek information and put what I learned into practice learning to brew beer. It was a lot of fun to make and enjoy a homebrewed beer. It still is!
Thanks for the help Dave. This batch is for the memory of you and your efforts are remembered and appreciated.
Thanks for the learning experience.
Cheers.
