Taste Notes
Very clean malt backbone
Dry but with a bit of body
Fruity, citrusy hops dominate
Clean, not harsh, bitternessNotes
Gordon Strong recipe from BeerSmith Podcast #39
Use RO water not distilled
Add phosphoric acid to brewing water before brewing
Add water salts to mash, not brewing water
Direct-fire step mash
Post-boil volume 6.5 gallons; on my system I lose maybe 0.5 gal in transfer from kettle
20 minute whirpool (turn off burner, stir, wait 20 minutes)
Use settling tank to remove extra hop particulates before pitching (chill, put in carboy, rack after 1 hour, pitch), this will cause some volume loss.
Approx 5.5 gal beer in primary fermenter, leaves about 5.25 gallons finished product
Calculated IBUs are too high -- tastes like much less due to FWH and all late hoppingThis Recipe Has Not Been Rated
