Subject: Slippery Slope…
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the call, I hope this helps.
Here are the basic specs for the Slippery Slope braggot/ cyzer/ beer we brew:
O.G.: 1.080 (20 P)
Target Gravity: 1.004 (2-2.5 P)
Abv: 9.0-9.5%
Malt:
Pale Malt: 90%
Light Crystal Malt (13-17 L, we use Hugh Bairds Carastan 13-17): 5%
Briess Carapils: 5% (this malt is for head retention, due to the high amount of honey and cider as well as the high finishing abv I add this malt for improved head retention)
Mash at 155 for 45 mins, runoff should start at roughly 24 Plato. Collect 39% of the total liquid in your kettle from this mash. (for example: if your full kettle volume is 6 gals, runoff the mash until there are 2.34 gals. in the kettle)
The remaining 61% of the liquid volume in the kettle will be cider. The cider we use comes from the orchard at 10 Plato or 1.040. (If full kettle volume is 6 gals. you will need 3.66 gals of cider.
Honey: Add .5 lbs. of honey per gallon of liquid in the kettle. We use 240 lbs. of honey in 16 barrels, or .48 lbs./gal. Add with 15 mins. left in the boil.
Ginger: .96 ozs. per gal. We use 30# in 16 barrels (496 gals.) This gives a STRONG ginger flavor and aroma. We rough chop the ginger by hand into 1 in. cubes. Add at 5 mins. before end of boil.
Sweet Orange Peel: .06 oz. per gal. added at the end of the boil.
Boil length: 90 mins.
Hops: Use a clean bittering hop to 7-10 IBUs. Add at 90 mins.
Yeast: We ferment this with Wyeast 1968 London Special Ale. We pitch at a rate of 15 million cells/ mL. Ferment at 65 degrees.
Notes: I think the Ginger could be dialed back if not eliminated completely. The ginger, in my opinion, overwhelms a lot of the subtlety of the malt, cider and honey. The yeast we use creates a nice smooth ester profile in the finished beer at 65. I have fermented this beer at 68-70 before and, although good, was a little to fruity for me. A nice clean yeast flavor profile will work nicely with the crisp dryness from the low finishing gravity. You could also mash at a slightly higher temp for a shorter period of time to limit the attenuation of the malt sugars and increase the residual sweetness a little. I have experienced some haze in this beer when finished that I suspect is caused by the cider, but I am not 100% sure. Usually it is similar to a light chill haze, but this beer looks best when it is really bright. We carbonate to 2.6 vols. of CO2.
Feel free to call or e-mail with any questions.
Cheers,
Chris
