Notes: Mighty Duck! is an attempt at an extract Kwak clone.
Aiming to produce 40x330ml bottles from this brew so I need at least 13.2l available at bottling time. I'd need an estimated 15-16l going in to the primary fermenter.
Actually got 17l going in to the primary, topped up a little, to 18.5l, to bring the OG down from 1.078 to 1.070.
If I'd left the OG at 1.078 and fermentation ends at the anticipated 1.016 then the ABV would be 8.14% - closer to Kwak's actual 8.4%.
FG reading is 1.010 giving an ABV of 7.88%
Moved 15.5l to a secondary FV after primary completed. Is clearing nicely after the first week.
Bottled 46 x 330ml bottles from the secondary. Very little sediment and a good, clear, beer going in to the bottles.
Beer at bottling was sitting at 11C hence the lower volume of brewing sugar (corn sugar) than I'd normally expect for a target CO2 volume of 2.2.
1st photo is Kwak on the left, Mighty Duck on the right after 1 week in the secondary. Has the banana hit you get from Kwak.
The flavour development in the bottle has been interesting.
For the first month of bottle conditioning I tasted a bottle at week 1 and 2 and the banana flavour was reducing with bitterness increasing. I waiting until it had a full month in the bottle before tasting again and it was the same change - even less banana and more bitterness.
Zero carbonation at the end of month 1.
Waiting until month 2 and a big change - banana flavour is starting to re-appear and that rich Belgian Dubbel flavour is starting to appear. The bitterness has almost completely dissipated.
End of month 2 and the carbonation is starting to appear, a good hiss when the bottle opens but overall carbonation is light.
The beer is almost completely clear now too.
Now waiting for month 3... |

Notes: SMaSH beer. The orange/citrus from the Amarillo REALLY comes through nicely and matches the color from the M.O. malt.
Overall, it's a really nicely balanced beer.
I increased the dry hops from 2oz to 4oz. to try to add a little more hop aroma. (4/22/2023) |
