Notes
Second attempt at this similar recipe - having previously messed up the grain bill with way too much Gambrinus.
Different hops - swapped in Simcoe and Chinook, dialled down the ABV.
BREW DAY - FRIDAY 27TH OCTOBER
Filled water Thurs night 26th Oct 2023
Adjusted water - added 15.5g Gypsum (for sulphates), 25g calcium chloride for chlorides
Boiler on 6:15am Fri 27th Oct 2023. 26.5L at 70c strike
Hit temp 7am, down to 69c
Took 10 mins to fill with grain. 90min boil started at 7:10am
Checked 7:25am // 7:50am // 8:10am // 8:30 // 8:40am
Up to 77c at 8:40am for 10min sparge starting at 8:53am and ending 9:03am
Bag out and drained, up to 99c. Turned up 9:07am. Hit temp 9:20am
Pre-boil vol: 23.5L or slightly less (targeting 24L)
Boil start: 09:20am
60 mins 20g Chinook
60mins 20g Simcoe
45mins 10g Chinook
Boil finish: 10:20am
Post-boil vol: 22.5L
Immersion chiller 10:20am
By 10:30am temp down to 76c.
By 10:50 down to 46c

Returned 2pm, temp at 32c
By: 3:30pm, into FZ, added ice blocks. down to 24c and into FZ
Vol 20L so topped up to 20.5L
Target and actual pitching temp: 23c. Room temp: 19c.
Pitched 4:15pm Friday 27th Oct 2023
Spunding valve OPEN
(overnight temps forecast 12/13c outside), daily highs rising from 17c to 21, 27, 35c on day 3.
OG was 1.068 vs target 1.065 OG to deliver 1.015 FG (corrected) and target ABV of 6.6% but OG reading 1.068 so at 78% efficiency FG new target 1.0XX and ABV XX%
Corrected ABV on 1.035 uncorrected FG reading = 6.75%
FZ Vol: 19.8L
Target FG reading
FERMENTATION
Underway within 6 hours. Closed spunding after 24 hours ferment. Pressure rose to c.10PSI. Fermentation temp typically 20-21c in an ambient 16/17c
Day 3 (evening) depressured and dryhopped with 70g Chinook and 80g Simcoe.
Day 4 - closed spunding but still fermenting, though slowed. Reopened.
Day 5 eve closed spunding but still fermenting, though slowed.
Day 6 morn reopened spunding
PLAN
Day 7 evening after four days dry hop, hopefully fermented out, but wasn't - kept fermenting until Monday am - Day 10
Day 10 crashchilled for 48 hours to Weds 8th Nov morning
Day 12 4pm kegged and did FG reading, uncorrected FG 1.035 = corrected ABV 6.75% - marginally higher than the 6.6% target
Tasted: Very fruity, chewy. Hazier and brighter, more yellow than expected. Not as resinous as hoped for.

TASTING
Kegged 27th May - 1 week from brew day. Force carbed at 20PSI.
Colour is bright yellow, some haze. Nose is juicy nectarines. Palate is dry bitterness, some chalkiness, taste the 7.2% alcohol. Not as sweet as feared. Needs a little time to round out.

PREVIOUS BREW DAY
Cleaned and filled water Thurs pm 19th May 2022

Pitched c2pm Fri 20th May
Spunding valve OPEN
(overnight temps forecast 12/13c outside)
Target 1.065 OG to deliver 1.015 FG (corrected) and target ABV of 6.6% but OG reading 1.071 so at 72% efficiency FG new target 1.016 and ABV 7.2%
FZ Vol: 19.8L
Target FG reading (corrected)
Notes - can already see colour is quite dark from too much honey malt.
FERMENTATION
Underway within 12 hours. Closed spunding after 36 hours ferment. Pressure rose to c.10PSI. Fermentation temp typically 20-21c in an ambient 16/17c
Day 3 (morning) depressured and dryhopped with 80g galaxy and 37g CTZ (to use up)
Four days dry hop and moved coldcrash 26th May at 2pm. PSI up just around 15, was still rising slightly.
Tasted but too bitter/sediment to gauge accurately. Certainly not too sweet from the honey malt cock-up... Uncorrected FG is 1.036 or 1.040 - couldn't tell.
Corrected FG at 1.036 is: 1.016 giving ABV of 7.2% - as expected.
