Notes: Tasting Notes
8/11/2025: Kegged version. Warm, biscuity aroma, some caramel notes (darker), touch of coffee. Cloyingly sweet... flavor is rounded, nice (remember, you added baking soda to this to add to raise the pH). Medium mouthfeel, no hops flavor evident, but the bitterness does hold back the sweet. Not the best version of this based on this tasting.
8/7/2025: Tasted a bottle conditioned version. The aroma is nice and light with a touch of spice. The taste is OK, bland(ish), rounded, nothing fancy. The maltiness really shines. That is something to pump up. I'm happy with this beer overall.
Recipe Notes
7/6/2025: Keeping the water balanced and pushing the hops up a step to balance the sweetness of the beer... thinking of upping the Centennial to add a bit more punch.

Notes: This is 3 Floyd's Brewing Co.'s Alpha King clone.
Step by Step:
Mash grains in 17 quarts(16L) water to get a single infusion mash temperature of 154*F for 45 minutes. Sparge with hot water of 170*F and collect 7 gallons of wort. Boil for 2 hours to reduce wort volume to 5 gallons. Add hops and Irish Moss at time indicated. Cool, aerate and pitch yeast. Ferment at 68*F until fermentation ceases, then rack to secondary with dry hops for another week. Bottle or keg and leave at fermentation temperature for a few days. Drop the temperature to 40*F for 1 week, then if possible go to 34*F for another week. |
