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: After one week fermenting at 62 degrees, transfer to secondary and add Wyeast 3711 French Saison yeast. Allow to continue fermenting at warm room temp (70F to 72F) for two to three weeks. Final gravity should be below 1.008. Good results using a heating belt to get fermentation temperature up to high 70s for last week of fermentation. Dry hop three days before bottling.
First batch primary came down to 1.014. Added 3711 and let ferment at room temp (72) for three weeks. Final gravity only came down to 1.011. Added 2 oz of grapefruit extract, 2 oz of Mosaic hops and kegged (dry hop in keg). |

Notes: Inspiration for this Pale Ale recipe came from a buddy who grows his own hops. He gave me a bunch of Cascade hops so I thought I would try and make a Pale Ale using just those hops.
Brew day Notes:
-Steeped Grains at 155* for 45 minutes
-Added enough water to the wort (after boil) to get to 2.75 gallons. Shook very well in 5 gallon carboy and poured wort into 3, 1 gallon glass carboys. Split 1 package of Safale US-05 into 3 piles and poured one into each carboy.
10 Days after brew day:
-Dry hopped with .75 oz of Cascade whole leaf hops. Added .25oz of Cascade whole leaf hops to each (3 total) 1 gallon glass carboys. |

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. |
