Notes: I had a dream about making a beer like this. So this recipe is a product of that dream. A rich, red, imperial style ale that's not so bitter as is traditional for a strong ale. Thick head with long retention. Hope it turns out like it did in my dream!

I will be remaking this in the builder on Picobrew since I'm using a Pico Z to make it.

Notes to follow first brew.

OG from first brew: 1.069 - .02 lower than calculated on the z builder. Be sure to mix your oats in well. My oats weren't distributed well enough.

FG 1.022. 6% ABV. Very wet, delicious, but not what I wanted gravity wise. That and it is not boozy enough... Going to drop the mash temp to 154 to dry it out a little.

I may have cold crashed too soon. We had some weird temperature changes that made it hard to regulate, even in a converted freezer with a dual control inkbird. 90+ degrees in the day, 24 at night for a week.

Brewing again in a few weeks.

Notes: 1. Take yeast out and allow to reach room temperature (unless Imperial)
2. In your kettle, heat 3 gallons of water to 155 F
3. Fill your steeping bag with your specialty grains and knot at the very top
4. When the water reaches 155 F, turn off heat and steep the grains for 30 minutes
5. Remove the steeping bag, squeeze out excess liquid and discard.
6. Carefully add your Dry Malt Extract (DME), stirring to avoid clumps. You liquid in your kettle is now wort (malt liquid).
7. Bring your wort to a boil
8. When the wort is at full boil, add 1oz CTZ hops to the boil and start a 60 minute timer
9. After 45 minutes, with 15 minutes remaining, add 2oz Falconer's Flight hops to the boil and 1 tsp Irish Moss
10. Continue boiling for the remaining 15 minutes. Add 2 oz Falconer's Flight and turn off heat.
11. Pour 2.5 gallons cold water into your fermentation vessel, add hot wort and cool until about 70 F
12. Use your hydrometer to find your original gravity and record
13. Pitch your yeast and place airlock (and lid) on your fermentation vessel.
14. When visible signs of fermentation have disappeared for several days, at least 7 days, add 2 oz Falconer's Flight hops to the fermentation vessel (dry hopping)
15. When the beer clears, after at least 7 days, rack your beer into your bottling bucket.
16. Add 5 oz priming sugar to 1 cup water and bring to a simmer. Allow to cool some, then add to bottling bucket. Stir gently with sanitized bottling wand.
17. Fill bottles and cap.
18. Store bottles at room temperature for 14 days.
19. Refrigerate overnight
20. Enjoy!!!

Notes: improvements for next time- slightly increase crystal malt (can be increased without being cloying because its a dark/medium crystal). use a more characterful british crystal (simpsons 70?). dial down the chocolate malt slightly

Notes: 2025:
1Kg Mosaic na DH měním z klasiky na CRYO.

Ohledně úpravy vody mi GPT rozmluvil CaCO3, protože HCO3 dělá tvrdší a drsnější dojem, který pro lehký ejl není vhodný. Naopak klidně prý můžu zvýšil poměr SO4 vůči Cl, ale já zase chci i nějakou plnost, nakonec dávám 300g CaSO4 a 150g CaCl (tím zvednu Ca a poměr SO4/Cl zachovám pořád okolo 2, jako předtím, ale o cca 30% vyšší hodnoty než ve 2024)

2024:
Upravil jsem vyšší výtěžnost a snížil slad, taky dal litry z 1650/1550 na 1600/1500.
500g z 1Kg Mosaicu, co šlo na 5min do varu, jsem změnil na whirlpool.
Plánuju upravit trochu vodu a pH, což asi půjde naproti vytažení hořkosti chuťově, takže snižuju IBU ze 42 na 36
Vystírací voda 3,7l/kg sladu
Vodu upravuji na hodnoty lehkého chmeleného ejlu z jednoho youtube kanálu (cíl: Ca 110, Mg 20, Na 20, Cl 50, SO4 100 HCO3 250). Vařilo se nakonec dřív a nestihlo mi dojít CaCO3, takže musím udělat bez něj (tedy nebude voda tak tvrdá, nižší hodnoty Ca a HCO3), chtěl jsem dávat 200g CaCO3. (Dávám 100g CaSO4, 200g CaCl, 120ml (140g) kyseliny mléčný)

Dle ohlasů tahle verze hodně lidí bavila, takže takhle dobrý.

2023:
Karamelový slad byl dřív Caramunich I, ale už posledně tam šel Carapils, tak i letos necháme Carapils.
Nakonec vyšlo na 11°, dát přístě vyšší výtěžnost, obecně v Panaczechovi alespoň 80%, spíš 81%

2022:

Při 1600l před chmelovarem a 1500l po, vyšlo 11.2°P. Takže trochu naředěno, aby jsme byli na cca 10.8° (Takže efektivita tak 80%)

Vařil spíš David, já dělal věci okolo a zavážel.

Notes: On a sea voyage, Namibia is roughly half way to India.

The previous IPA to this one that I brewed was in the realms of a true old-style strength, 6.2% at racking so probably a little stronger by the time it reached the glass.

Namibia Pale Ale was an attempt to maintain the beautiful hop character but tone down the alcohol level so you could have more than one without falling off your chair. However something went wrong with the mashing/sparging process, probably too high a temperature, and the ABV at racking was only about 3.6%

That's probably only half the strength of the traditional true IPA, therefore it's about half way there, the same as Namibia :)
