Notes: Mash at 158 for 30 minutes. Recirculate mash for 10 minutes then sparge.
Boil for 90 mins, with first hops in at 60. Cool to 67 then aerate for 2 minutes. Let fermentation temp rise to 72 after 5 days.
Cold crash and carbonate to 2.2.
Can add 2-3 oz of Fuggles at Day 5 and leave in for 2-4 days.
Gold Medal in 2022 NHA for Pale British Beer, 9B.
First brewed 9/18/22. Pre boils gravity was 1048 and post boil 1055! So 80% efficiency. Boiled 90 mins and had 5.1 gallons remaining so added .4 gallons distilled water to get to 5.5 gallons.
Used hop spider which retained some liquid with 6.5 oz of hops! That brought gravity down to 1050.
After 24 hours gravity was 1028 with temp at a constant 67f.
Second brew 3/31/24.
Followed schedule, inc. 1 tsp of gypsum and 1 tbsp of 10% phosphoric acid. Measured pH during boil and it was 4.8 pre sparge, and 4.88 post sparge. Added 1/2 tsp chalk just before boil to try and increase it.
Gravity at the start of boil was 1044. Boiled for close to 2 hours by mistake. As a result, had to add 3 pints of distilled water to bring the quantity close to 5.5 gallons.
Chilled to 67 then moved to fermenter. Gravity was 1054, so higher than planned (79% efficiency vs. 73% before). Added yeast and just used an airlock - no temp control.
Temp rose to 71 after 24 hours and gravity fell quickly to 1034. After 64 hours it was 1024. Gravity then stopped at 1023 and remained there for 3 days. I shook the fermenter to stir the yeast but no change. I then added a pack of rehydrated US05 to try and lower gravity but no difference.
Put into cask after 13 days of primary. FG was 1023, so poor attenuation but likely due to high mash temp. Amazing clarity as it transferred and taste was distinctive - toffee, gentle rolling bitterness, toast, and soft spices. Very drinkable from the fermenter!

Notes: (Note: Water Chemistry is based on my Source Water Profile. YMMV!)
This beer has a big, clean, and chewy grain bill that explodes with hops notes of pineapple, blueberry, and pine resin.
DIRECTIONS:
Mash for 40 minutes at 154°F (68°C), then for 10 minutes at 162°F (72°C). Mash out at 171°F (77°C). Boil for 60 minutes following the hops and additions schedule. For the lactose, remove the kettle from the heat, stir in the lactose, return the kettle to the heat, and bring it back to a boil for the remaining 10 minutes.
After the boil, chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 64°F (18°C). Aerate the wort and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 66°F (19°C).
We do two dry-hop additions: one at 30 percent attenuation (about 1.048) and then again at about 1.024. We divide the dry-hop total weight evenly between the two additions. |

Pale malt is Australian.
Mild Malt (1.75kg) -> 1.5 kg MO + 0.25 kg Aromatic
Flaked corn -> polenta
Home made invert and caramel
FW Hops with Super Pride for hot break
Reduced boil time to 1 hr for modern malt
Subbed hops to ones in the freezer I've gotta use.
Little bit of oak chips in primary for "inauthentic authenticity" |
