Notes

Malt: Cause of the maris otter was a little fine, add 5% of rice hull of maris otter.

Mash: Usual Wee heavy's mash temp is 67~70C. But London yeast attenuation is lower than scotch ale yeast. So to make more disaccharide I set 65C.

Hops: Consider of resting and transferring time, I add 30 min more to each hops boiling time to get exact IBU (Actual boiling time is 60 min.).

        Consider the BU/Gu, ideal IBU should be 17.5. But during the fermentation usually 2~3 IBU will drop in our system. So I add 3 IBU more.<br />


Water agt.: To match Edinburgh water profile, I add some gypsum and calcium cloride.

  • The fun thing is if we add calcium in the mash and sparge water, calcium will combine with some ions that malts had. After all, ph will going acidic. (calcium is known for make ph more alkaline side)
