Notes: Lemon Peel Is added at 15 min left in the boil. This beer should be around 6.1% with the alcohol booster added. Don't trust my specific gravity, it needs to be temp corrected too.

Notes: I really enjoyed this in a citra combo so decided to solo it in it's own IPA.

The solo Meridian ale has a Juicy Fruit Gum smell to it when it finished.

Mash temp 148f-150f should result in a more complete conversion to simple sugars for fermentation so its not such a heavy IPA.

Let it Hopstand (I used whirlpool for lack of option)

After fermentation (give it 2 weeks) dry hop with Meridian for another 5 days.

Transfer to secondary and cold crash in the fridge (if you can fit it) for 2 days or more before priming and bottling.

I'm doing 2.5 gallons in a 3 gallon carboy to prevent any issues with blow off. Less maintenance, that's one less thing.

Notes: Brew day: Sunday March 30, 2013.

Steeped 0.5 lbs of 30-40L Crystal for 30 mins @160-170F. 1 TBSP of Irish Mosh @ 15 mins of boil.

Boil ended with 9L (2.4G). Topped up with three (and a bit) 1G water jugs.

OG: 1.042. 2 Gravity points lower than target. 2 possible reasons: (i) perhaps because I added a little bit too much water from the 4th water jug. (ii) I also pitched my yeast first and grabbed my gravity sample after. 2nd time in a row I made this mistake. (iii) I might not have added the full amount of LME. Its tough to get absolutely all of the extract out of the jug.

03/31: Signs of fermentation 12 hours after pitching.

Expectations: bare-bones, sessionable English best bitter with traditional characterisitcs from the Nottingham yeast and willamette hops (fruity/floral/peppery) and hopefully a well-balanced malt backbone with the crystal 40L and amber LME. Fermentation temp is a little high, around 23-24C, so it might have dominating fruity characteristics (hopefully not off-flavours).

Dry hopped with 1 oz. of Goldings hops. Probably domestic. Hopefully will add a subtle (maybe not even noticeable) earthy/spicy/floral aroma. Maybe it will complement the spiciness/floral of the willamete aroma hops.

Bottles:
30x355ml = 10.65L
10x800ml = 8L
2x750ml = 1.5L
4x500ml = 2L

TOTAL = 22.15L

Bottling day: 04/14/2014. 3 oz of corn sugar with 2 cups of boiled water to make 0.81 volumes of C02 (with 1.75 volumes of calculated C02). Broke my second hydrometer when reaching for my scale. :(

Tasting day: 05/12/2004. 2 weeks bottle conditioned, 2 weeks in fridge. Fuller's London Pride Premium Bitter for comparison.

Appearance: ASA: dark, ruby red and hazy. little to no head retention. FLP: golden orange and light, medium head the fades within 10 seconds.

Smell: ASA: slight caramel and nutty. Also pretty earthy. FLP: more of a "beer" smell and slightly metallic? Smells crisp. Floral and earthy.

Taste: caramel again. light and refreshing, sessionable. fairly malty with slight fruit notes. very enjoyable. low-medium bitterness. FLP: about same medium bitterness with more of an earthy character. Just as sessionable/enjoyable. I like mine a little better though.

Mouthfeel: little to no carbonation in both. no bubbles present. medium body for both? I dont see much of a difference in mouthfeel. FLP has a lighter mouthfeel/body. It just kind of rolls of the tongue. Mine is slightly more viscous.

Overall: both very drinkable, as they should be. Mine is overall more caramelly/nutty and feels heavier despite the much lower abv. I tend to like mine more as it falls more on the caramelly/fruity side, while FLP is earthy and resiny.

Notes: - Aerate wort for 10' with aeration stone and air pumptch yeast below 85 deg
- Pitch yeast at 70 and cool to 52
- Ferment at 52 deg
- Re-rack and keep at 52 deg
- Close to or at F.G. conduct Dycetyl rest
Slowly bring up to 67 deg over 3+ days. Hold for 48-60 hours.
- Slow crash to 32 deg
- Keep at 35 deg for at least 30 days.

Actual F.G. = 1.0207 so 4.73 very clear and the color seems right on.

**All temperature changes should be less than 10 degrees per day!**

This beer worked really well. Clear, crisp, slight honey flavor picked up by most tasters. Some tasters picked up the grapefruit in the hops. Well received!

O.G. Reading was 13.8 BRIX at 75 Deg (1.053)

Notes: 1. A day before, place 10-15 litres of water in closed containers in a fridge and chill.
2. Steep Caramalt Grain Pack for 20-30 mins with 1 litre of hot tap water (not boiling).
3. Strain liquid into a large saucepan. Rinse grain with another 1 Litre of hot tap water into the saucepan,
and discard grain.
4. Add another 3.5 litres of water and 1kg Liquid Light Malt to the saucepan, and bring to the boil while
stirring.
5. Add 20g Citra, 20g Mosaic, and 20g Simcoe Hops in a boiling bag. Add 1 Whirlfloc Tablet or 1 Teaspoon
Irish Moss to the boil.

to 23 litres with chilled and tap water to reach a starting temperature of 18-22°C. Stir well to aerate.
11. Add yeast and ferment as close as possible to 18°C*.
12. On Day 5 of fermentation, add Dry Hops of 10g Citra, 20g Mosaic, and 20g Simcoe Hops to the

Notes: Excellent Golden Ale! Made from leftover ingredients.

Next time will need to boost the fermentables to give the super yeast more to munch on.
