Notes
  • Mash notes:
    Batch sparge and give it a good stir in every 15 minutes to increase efficienscy.

  • Fermentation notes:
    I changed attenuation of yeast from 75% to 79% as measured FG was 1010. That's probably because I started with 17°C than raised it up to 20°C after one week. That must have given the yeast a final boost. It might be a good method for English strains if you like your beer dry. (I got this tip from David Heath, check hm on Youtube.) Ideally it should be 15°C to 20°C, increasing 1°C everyday after one week, but my cooling method is a little primitive so I ended up starting at 17C and I didn't want to bring it down as fermentation has already begun. It's still fine though, no off-flavors at all.

  • Tasting notes:
    Some flower and little fruity on the nose. Crispy mouthfeel. Some biscuit and little caramel flavor with a bitter dry finish. It might be more bitter than how it should be, because I intended to brew an English IPA at first. I like to feel the significant hop bitterness in my beers though, so I'm not unhappy with it..

  • Final notes:
    I find this one somewhat an original pale ale for my taste, and I will definitely brew it again . I might try a version with less bitterness but increasing the dry hops a little, as malt side tastes great. Increasing Chloride addition and/or decreasing Sulfade could also give the malt flavor a little boost. My water profile was more heavy on Sulfade.
