Notes:

Mash the grains at 156°F (69°C) for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until your runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge the grains and top up as necessary to obtain 6 gallons (23 l) of wort. Boil for 90 minutes, following the hops and additions schedule. After the boil, chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 70°F (21°C). Aerate the wort and pitch the yeast.
Ferment at 70°F (21°C) until the completion of primary fermentation (about 9 days, depending on the temperature). Rack the beer into secondary and add the oak chips. Let the beer age with the wood. Use your palate to decide how long. Oak chips are pretty quick; a week or so can be plenty.

Notes: This is a single-hopped double IPA. (It's pretty much a SMASH ale.) I love single-hopped IPAs where you can really get the character of the hop - and Challenger is an excellent dual-purpose hop. It's a big beer, obviously, and after many, many brews and experimentation now, it's become a neighborhood favorite.

I cask-condition it, and serve it through an Angram engine at about 55 degrees F cellar temp.

The HMS Challenger is one of my best beers. (And when my buds come by expecting to quaff four or five 20 oz. pints, they only try once!)

All the malt carries the bitterness very well. There is some residual sweetness on the palate, with a creamy mouth-feel from service through the beer engine. Only a relatively small amount of crystal is used, (it is an IPA after all), with just a touch of wheat for head retention.

Notes: 2x Mangrove Jacks M31 Belgian Tripel yeast (possibly Westmalle yeast). Rehydrated at 34C.

Dextrose added 24 hours into fermentation.

Mash start 5.45 End 8.45
Boil start 9.30 End 10.55
3 Liters lost (1 to hop absorbtion and 2 to kettle dead space/cold break

Pitched at 18C. Risen to 21C at 20 hours with heavy blowoff activity. Fed with sugar. Upto 25C at 26 hours. Heavy blowoff activity. Ferment behavior sounds like Westmalle strain.

Saaz aroma oil at bottling.
9L dry hopped with Matcha Green tea (see Green Devil).
4L dry hopped with Hibiscus.

Reyeasted with GV1 at 3 vols. C02 (Hibiscus at 2.5 vols).
