Notes

Is this too bitter for bitter? I've been wondering about bitterness calculations, and seeing information in magazines that seems to indicate I'm undershooting if I want the level of bitterness suggested for the style. I've decided I will try a couple of batches where I intentionally "over-hop" to see if the beers taste and smell like the styles I'm going for.

yeast starter: 4 oz. dry malt plus a few hop pellets and a dash of yeast nutrient in 1500 ml of water, boiled 10 minutes and then cooled
brew day: Friday, November 24
clear skies, 42 degrees F air temp, no wind

grain temp 60 degrees F

invert sugar was a late addition to the recipe. been looking at that jar of invert sugar for over a year, wondering when it would come in handy. Fits in a Burton Ale recipe perfectly, I said to myself.

boiled 7 gallons
transferred 5.5 gallons to fermenter, O.G. 1.068

Saturday, December 9
F.G. 1.015
add 4 oz. corn sugar boiled in 4 cups water
54 bottles, orange crowns
taste is earthy, raisiny, not very bitter, more balanced
