Notes: a huge head and mouthfeel effort here.
Basically, my Klaatu APA malt bill with some added oats and a subtraction of victory. . Looking for a bigger head and luxurious mouthfeel. |

Notes: - Brewed on 2/29/20
- Mash water = 4.6 gallons (17.4 liters)
- Sparge water = 3.39 gallons (12.8 liters)
- Expecting pre-boil volume of 6.6 gallons (25 liters) or 6.86 gallons (25.9 liters) after 4% wort expansion, actually had just under 26 liters (I'd say 25.9).
- Expecting mash efficiency of 84% (at expanded wort volume) which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.049
- Mash temp settled right it at ~152F
- Hit 11.8 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.048 vs. 1.049 target so 82% mash efficiency vs. 84% expected. Sparge was a bit faster with this batch. ~30 min.
- Expecting to boil down to 6.0 gallons (after wort cools) so boil-off tool estimates 1.054 OG, Actual original gravity reading was 13.0 plato which converts to 1.053 vs 1.054 expected.
- After boil had ~6.21 gallons (expected 6.0 not expanded so this is right on) in the kettle and ~5.5 gallons made it into the fermenter.
- Pitched yeast starter and set fermentation chamber at 64F, changed to 65F 36 hours post brew day, did ~175B yeast cells instead of ~200 so 0.62 vs. 0.75 pitch rate
- Packaged on 3/10/20, batch #42, FG was 1.013 (at 68F) which converts to 1.014 so 73% attenuation vs 75% avg. and 76% expected
- Fill keg to 51.86 pounds = (1.014FG x 8.345 x 5 gallons) + 9.548 (empty keg weight). Was just able to get 51.86 pounds so volumes during brew day were spot on. |

Notes: Step by Step
I use Crisp Malting’s British Pale Ale malt (made from Maris Otter) as my base grain, but other malts of a similar nature should work well. Remember, the bulk of the flavor comes from the base grain, so try to get British pale ale malt. The crystal malt should also be of British origin as it makes a substantial difference. I have had great success with Simpsons and Bairds, but feel free to substitute any high quality malt of a similar flavor and color from a different supplier. My hops are in pellet form and come from the UK via Hop Union or Hopsteiner.
Mill the grains and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.5 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight) and a temperature of 148 °F (64 °C). Hold the mash at 148 °F (64 °C) until enzymatic conversion is complete. Infuse the mash with near-boiling water while stirring or with a recirculating mash system raise the temperature to mash out at 168 °F (76 °C). Sparge slowly with 170 °F (77 °C) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 5.9 gallons (22.3 L) and the gravity is 1.035.
Add the bittering hops once the wort is boiling, The total wort boil time is 1 hour. During that time add the Irish moss or other kettle finings with 15 minutes left in the boil and add the last hop additions with 3 minutes remaining. Chill the wort to 68 °F (20 °C) and aerate thoroughly. If you have a nice, fresh package of liquid yeast, you can pitch it direct, although making a 1-liter starter is always a good idea.
Ferment around 68 °F (20 °C) until the yeast drops clear. With healthy yeast, fermentation should be complete in a week or less. Allow the lees to settle and the brew to mature without pressure for another two days after fermentation appears finished. Rack to a keg and force carbonate or rack to a bottling bucket, add priming sugar, and bottle. Target a carbonation level of 1–2 volumes depending on your packaging. If you are cask conditioning the beer, add priming sugar, any cask finings (gelatin or isinglass), and possibly dry hop with another ¼–½ oz. (7–14 g) of whole East Kent Goldings. Allow the beer to condition in the cask for several days and serve via a beer engine or by gravity feed at 50–55 °F (10–13 °C).
