I have wanted to make a 100% Bonlander Munich beer for like 2 years now. I know that malt pretty well but haven't been bold enough to use it at 100% yet. After discovering the resiny-danky goodness of Simcoe in a single-hop pale at a taproom in the spring, I knew that's the route I would take with my all munich session IPA. So I'm pairing the black pepper citrus-pines of Pacific Jade with the danky resin of Simcoe and Columbus in my hop bill. Centennial works its way in at FO and DH to tie a neat citrus bow around the peppery pine resin bundle.
Plan is to use jar of 2nd gen 1272 from Wai iti SMaSH. Typical light color and hoppy water profile. Throwing in 5oz of dextrose I found in my cabinet to help fermentability of an all munich beer. Mashing low for same reason. Probably won't make a starter and just use a pint jar of yeast out the fridge.
Brewed 7/22/17. Stats as noted. Ended up batch sparging as the mash stuck several times. This brew day really was a PITA. Got through it though. Oxygenated 40sec and pitched jar with no starter. Active fermentation in ~36hr, so a little slower start than usual.
