Notes: Same recipe as P4#1 with Carafa III Special instead of Carafa II
Garafa III grined finer than rest
Firstwort hopping (removed 0.5L before boil for yeast dehydration. Removing during boil means removing some hops. Wort was boiled separately).
Preboil: 21.5l 12ºP
Beer apears almost black. Darker than #1. More than expected
Underpitched with dry yeast: 0.45M/ml/P (1 package, 11g)
Postboil: 18.5lit. 13ºP
Final volume in fermenter 16L
Final gravity 2.2-2.3P -> ABV 5.7%
-- P4 #1
Carafa II grind finer than CaraMunich & Pale Ale.
Firstwort hopping
Preboil: 22lit. 12ºP
Beer appears to be darker than recipe.
Postboil: 19lit. 13ºP
Bitterness: slightly above average (3.5/5bitterness)
Color: Dark, almost black
Underpitched with dry yeast: 0.45M/ml/P
Final Gravity: about 2.5ºP (picture) -> 5.7%
End of fermentation: Very light in aroma and a smooth bitterness (3/5biterness) |

Notes: Trying the complementary profiles of the two hops (Galaxy and Mosaic).
This is the second version. A favorite. Altered yeast from wlp840, and less volume. Will possibly dry hop in keg. Had problems during mashing: the water got stuck due to grains being too small and too much flour-like. Had too stir throughout. However, efficiency turned out high. May skip the dry hop this time. |

Notes: likely a reasonably large overpitch from using about a cup and a half of slurry, but the slurry wasn't super fresh
forgot gypsum and mash water was low by about 2.25 gallons, maybe due to boiloff or mismeasuring, but it resulted in a mash temp of 150 instead of 156. I added a carafe of boiling water to get it up to 152 after 10 minutes, then sparged another 2.5 gallons of room temp water to get the normal volume.
Fermented sans fridge in old-school style because I didn't rebuild the temp controller in time. Low 70s to start until stabilizing at ~69. Put into the fridge on day 2.5 and already at 1.014. |
