This beer is inspired by Hobgoblin ale in the UK our local active volcano, Sakurajima. Wychwood describe Hobgoblin as a Ruby Ale, hence my borrowing of the term here. However, without EKG hops and British malts, it won't be a clone.
Sakurajima is the volcano in the profile picture. It is active, so the ruby colour is also nod to the lava that is due to come out of it soon...
Brewed on 26/11/2017. OG 1.050, so spot on, but with 8 litres, not 9. Can't have it all, nevermind.
just bottled on 20/12...took a long time to finish. With gravity readings ended up bottling 7.5 litres, 18 bottles of mixed sizes. All good though. Another two weeks and I'll be drinking it.
Very, very nice. Rich malty complexity with a little chocolate. Quite sweet, but not overly so. Very surprisingly close to Hobgoblin, only a little darker with roasted flavour. At only 11 days its not at its best either. |

Notes: Mash start 0915 - 67C with 30L water treated with 3 tsp Epsom and 2 tsp gypsum. Start recirculating at 1020.
Pump to kettle and start sparging at 1045. Fire up gas with 25L at 1055. Collect 65L. Boiling at 1150, add 30gms Pacific Gem in spider.
Add 50gms Southern Cross and 50gms Taiheke at 1317.
Flame out and start cooling at 1327. Add 50gms Southern Cross, 50gms Taiheke and 70gms Nelson Sauvin at 87C.
Temp down to 40C at 1412, 30C at 1432, 25C at 1452, 24C at 1500.
54L after boil with coil and spider out. Ambient temp 23.5C.
Whirlpool by hand for 2 mins at 1525 and leave 30mins.
Saturate 2 sachets S04 at 1545.
Start runoff to SS64 at 23C/ 1600. OG 1046 = 70% not too bad.
Pitch yeast at 1900 and stir vigourously.
Friday 19th Bubbling continuously at 24C at 0800. Saturday same.
Bubbling slowed right down Sunday. Monday take gravity 1014 and still very slow bubbling, tasting pretty good, temp down to 20C.
Tues 23/3 still slight bubbling, clearing with some yeast from takeoff, tasting very nice.
Thursday 25/3 runoff 19.5L to F2 and into fridge to chill at 4C. Add 300gms Nelson Sauvin to remaining 30(???)L.
Mon 28/3 Runoff F2 into Keg7.
Run from SS64 into F1 and into fridge to chill 18L, rest run into small keg 5?L and into fridge to cool - a little hop bitsy!!. Possibly about 5L lost due to amount of hops in bottom of fermenter - better to run off to smaller fermenters to dry hop in future.

Notes: SMaSH recipe.
First brew hit the numbers gravity numbers well - OG 1.051/FG 1.014
Amazing flavour (10 days after bottling) - lot of, controlled, grapefruit like citrus. Low key bitterness.
Almost like a cross between a quality Pilsner and a lighter IPA.
A while later and the aroma is full-on passionfruit but the flavour is, to me, just bizarre. It splits opinion - you either love it or hate it and unfortunately I fall in to the latter camp! |
