Taste Notes
Nov 20 batch: Finally made a batch that didn't go bad. Not as dry as commercial but very good. Rocket is even drinking it.Notes
- Brew date Feb 6, 2016. OG 1.056. Fermentation was going by the second day. Removed the heat belt on the second day. 3 weeks in primary and then to keg. Moved fermenter to the basement Feb 20th, but no secondary. Added dry hops for 5 days. Bottle and kegged on Feb 27th. 3/4 cup for keg and 1/2 tsp per bottle. FG 1.011. Smelled very hoppy.
- Brew date March 26, 2016. Second rev will be using Bell's ale yeast from Midwest Ale. Mash pH of 5.1, boil pH of 5.0. 4 gals of 175F mash in to hit 150F. Sparge with 2 gals at 175F. Gravity of mash was 1.052. Boil volume 6.5 gals. Boiled for 60 mins. Ended with 5 gals at 1.048 sg. Bubbling the next day and took the heat belt off. Was also still bubbling Monday morning and slowly that night.
- May 14th CL Brew day. Using 4 gals of mash water. First runnings 1.072, 3 gals second runnings 1.030, 2 gals third runnings 1.011. Preboil 1.042. OG of 1.057 and all of 5.5 gals.
- June 4th. pH meter crapped out so pH is wacked out high probably due to calcium carbonate adds. 4 gals of mash water hit 151F. First runnings 1.072. Second runnings 1.030. Third runnings 1.017. 6.5 gals preboil at 1.040. OG 1.054.
- Oct 2. 4 gals at 151F. Using Bell's yeast. 6.5 gals preboil at 1.041. OG 1.052. Propane bottle stop working had to add the last 2 ounces with no boil, so I guess I did a hop stand. Kegged Oct 27. FG 1.007. Batch got contaminated.
- Nov 20, 4 gallons at 145 F. First mash temp was too low, added more to get to 145. Mashed for 90 minutes. Going to do 7.5 gallons pre-boil at 1.040. 5.5 gals at OG 1.047.
- Jan 29, attempting to get this drier. Will delete 1/2 of the Cara Pils/dextrin and only use 4oz. Will use Safale 05 with a starter. Mashing at 145°F for 60 minutes using the new equipment.This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
