Notes: Drop a 1L 1.040 starter on yeast cake from small beer 24hrs before fermentation
Mill the grains and follow these steps for a decoction mash: Mash pH 5.3
Mash in at 144°F (62°C) and hold 20 minutes; raise the temperature to 149°F (65°C) and hold 20 minutes; raise the temperature to 162°F (72°C) and hold 20 minutes; remove one-third of the mash and boil it for 15 minutes (or remove two-thirds and boil the remaining one-third, depending on what works best for your system); return the boiled portion to the main mash, which should bring the temperature to about 171°F (77°C).
Vorlauf until runnings are clear, then run off into kettle. Sparge the grains and top up as necessary to obtain 6.8 gallons (25.7 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, following the hops schedule. After the boil, chill the wort to 46°F (8°C), aerate, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 50°F (10°C). When the gravity has dropped to about 1.018 (4.5°P), increase the temperature to 54°F (12°C). When beer has fermented completely, decrease the temperature by about 4°F (2°C) per day until you reach 39°F (4°C). Hold there for 4 days, then decrease the temperature to 32°F (0°C) and lager for at least 3 weeks—preferably longer.
BREWER’S NOTES
Use German malt varieties, or this beer will not taste right. Our supplier is IREKS, based in Kulmbach, Bavaria. Our house yeast is from Klosterbrauerei Andechs in Bavaria (and WLP835 may be from the same source). We pitch 22–24 million cells per milliliter. |

Notes: 13.4.2024
EXBEERIMENT: Based on recipe 110/113 which was a success. My yeast was out of fridge fro a couple of days but vaccume packed so should be fine. Went back to using 4 rather than 2 tsp of cal chloride which I did for long time with success.
Brew day went alright but for reasons I don't get I got an OG of 1044.5 what expecting 1050. new hydrometer and didn't cross check with the old one, but I thought that one was a problem!
DH on Wed, cold crashed sat PM and Kegged Sun.
Kegging
FG 1010 (used three hydrometers and went wit hthe middle one as they were all 1 point apart!). ABV is 4.6%.
-Aroma and flavour of Galaxy is coming through well. The flavour upfront is very good. Once the tounge is well lubed I am getting a pretty smooth finish with solid bitterness. There is some astringency in the finish but it seems pleasant enough rather than harsh. I think it's a good one.
The only thing I can put the low OG down to is the fact that the grain bag was all twisted up and so water may not have properly reached grain in the sparge.
Tasting:
Tasting at almost 2 weeks in the keg. Beers 118 and 119 were so Bad I threw them out. I do not know what went wrong, but there was a harsh astringent finish. beer 120 was drinkable but just OK and I did not finish all of it. THIS beer is a return to form. Drank against Hazy Jane. The aroma is great and almost as strong as HJ. HJ is sweeter and more golden/darker upfront do overall probably a bit more crystal. But, the finish on mine is fine and I can enjoy it right alongside the HJ. In fact, I prefer my aroma. The galaxy forward hopping is awsome - pinaple, mango. The recipie is a winner and you can return if you wish. The galaxy was also a new bag of hops and citra fresh, so that may make a difference too. (UPDATE). kept drinking and this was an acceptable beer but the finish had an astringency and some bite which is just not as smooth as HJ. So...
