Notes

Batch #3 - 4/5/26 (Eff.: %, Att.: %, ABV: %)

  • Mash vol.: 31 L, Pre-boil vol.: L, Batch vol.: 22 L
    OG: 10 (Refract.) 10 (Tilt)
    Dropped base malt from 7.5kg to 6.5kg to allow for low carb enzyme increasing ABV.
    Substitutes: Dark Voodoo malt in for Gladfield Dark Crystal
    Left out the dextrose to keep ABV down.
    LalBrew BRY-97 instead of Mangrove Jacks M42 New Word Strong
    Low carb enzyme added at yeast pitch.
    24/5/26 - Tilt FG: 996, but I think this is wrong, guessing it's around 7.5-8 %. It's tasting great but looks very cloudy brown.

    Batch #2 - 18/6/25 (Eff.: 63%, Att.: 76%, ABV: 7.7%)
  • Mash vol.: 31 L, Pre-boil vol.: L, Batch vol.: 22 L
    OG: 1078 (Refract.) 10 (Tilt)
    Substitutes:
    -Veloria Schooner in for Gladfield Ale Malt
    -Chinook pellets (100g) in for Mosaic CRYO at whirlpool
    Yeast: M42 New World (x2) dry pitched at 25 C.
    5/7/23: Dry hopped and chilled to 10 C.
    6/7/23: Cold crashed to 1 C.
    8/7/23: Kegged and carbed with CO2 rig.

    Batch #1 - 6/6/21 (Eff.: 60%, Att.: %, ABV: %)
  • Mash vol.: 32 L, Pre-boil vol.: 28 L, Batch vol.: 22 L
    OG: 1078 (Refract.) 10 (Tilt)
  • Batch was about 2-3 L bigger than expected 19 L, next time mash with 31 L.
    Tilt stopped working so no FG.
    20/6/21 - Dry hopped and chilled to 10C.
    27/6/21 - Kegged and carbed
    17/7/21 - This is a very tasty beer, lots of fruity hops and a clean aroma with a slight resin hop finish that lingers, make this again.
