Notes: Is this too bitter for bitter? I've been wondering about bitterness calculations, and seeing information in magazines that seems to indicate I'm undershooting if I want the level of bitterness suggested for the style. I've decided I will try a couple of batches where I intentionally "over-hop" to see if the beers taste and smell like the styles I'm going for.
yeast starter: 4 oz. dry malt plus a few hop pellets and a dash of yeast nutrient in 1500 ml of water, boiled 10 minutes and then cooled
brew day: Friday, November 24
clear skies, 42 degrees F air temp, no wind
grain temp 60 degrees F
invert sugar was a late addition to the recipe. been looking at that jar of invert sugar for over a year, wondering when it would come in handy. Fits in a Burton Ale recipe perfectly, I said to myself.
boiled 7 gallons
transferred 5.5 gallons to fermenter, O.G. 1.068
Saturday, December 9
F.G. 1.015
add 4 oz. corn sugar boiled in 4 cups water
54 bottles, orange crowns
taste is earthy, raisiny, not very bitter, more balanced |

Notes: Notes on Whirlpool taken from http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showpost.php?p=3565328&postcount=45
Alright, so now that they're carbed up and conditioned the side by side test was done today. I also had my friend taste them without knowing which one was which.
The recipe, it's pretty out of season.
10# pilsner
8# gambrinus "esb" malt
1# carafoam
.5# honey malt
mash @ 154
90 minute boil
.8oz magnum @12.5%
When it was chilling time i split the beer into 2 pots and added .7oz saphir to each, immediately chilling the first 5 gallons and letting the other 5 sit there while the first batch chilled. Each bucket received a re-hydrated pack of S-05. The OG was 1.042 and I didn't measure the FG.
The verdict? Steeping the hops for 20 or so minutes before chilling will get more aroma and flavor out of them. All the hops were pellets.
The one that was chilled instantly doesn't really have any hop qualities at all, maybe a tiny "green" or "plant" flavor if you search for it. Pretty much a waste of hops, it mostly has a mild candy-like sweetness with a bit of malt flavor, but overall it's quite a low-flavor chuggable beer. I'd probably like it more if it was hot outside.
The one that was steeped has a modest, bright hop essence that mixes nicely with that sweetness. You can actually smell a bit of hops in it and taste them too. It's still a real mild, chuggable low-flavor beer, but there's more going on than in the other one. I think the steeped beer has a teensy bit more bitterness, but I couldn't tell until i re-tasted them to see what the difference was.
So there we go! I'm excited to find out how much more intense my hoppy brews are going to start getting pretty soon here.

Notes: Boiled off .75 gallons more than anticipated given me a total batch size to 4.75 gal instead of the intended 5.5 gal. Even with the over boil, I still managed to attain my usual 75% efficiency while keeping my ibus/bu:gu level the same. 90m boil evaporate rate is now measured at 2.25 gal when using the propane burner.
Flame out additions were added as a hop stand starting @ 175 degrees for 30 mins
Pitched 1.25l starter of WY3724 @ 80. Once fermentation takes off, temps ramped to 95 and hold until finished. |
