Batch #5 - 05/04/20 (Eff.: 65 %, Att.: 75 %, ABV: 5.1 %)

  • Mash vol.: 31 L, Pre-boil vol.: 27 L, Batch vol.: 22.5 L

    'Noodlie Appendage' Chai Spiced Brown Ale
    4/8/19 - Batch #4 (Chai Spiced) - Eff.
  • Same grist, yeast (M44) and water chem., new hop bill aiming to be a bit more neutral to allow Chai to show. No idea as to what hops to pair with Chai so left it the same as previous.
    Magnum 10 g @ 50 min
    Magnum 10 g @ 30 min
    Citra 20 g @ 0 min
  • Mashed at strike temp. of 72 C by accident.
    22/819 - Added 1 cup of chai spice (1 tsp of homemade spice dissolved in 200 ml of hot water)
    26/8/19 - Got the spice mix pretty right, tastes and smells just a bit of chai.
    1/12/19 - Bottled the last few out of old keg, the flavour became a bit more spicy, would make again but at the start of winter. It's a warming beer that takes a while to finish

  • Same grist, hop bill and water chem as #2.

  • Switched 50 min Pacific Jade to first wort.
  • Forgot to at the flaked oats (0.26kg) !!!!! Will see if this affects the beers mouthfeel.
    9/12/18 - SG: 1022. Tastes quite sweet and chocolate.
    11/12/18 - Added 5 drops of Chocolate Hazelnut Flavour (Lorann Oils)
    14/12/18 - FG: 1022. Cold crashed. Finished very high, will let it ferment in keg for a few days before adding more flavour.
