Mash at 152° F (67° C) for 1 hour, mash out at 170° F (77° C). 90 minute boil
Ferment at 66° F (19° C) for the first 2 days and slowly ramp to 72° F (22° C) as signs of fermentation slow down. Hold at 72° F (22° C) until terminal gravity is reached.
Dry hop with 1.5 oz (43 g) of East Kent Goldings for 5 days, cold crash, and package. Force carbonate to 2.5 volumes of CO2.
First made 11/5/23. Mashed in at 152. Added 1 tsp gypsum to filtered water. Increased mash temp to 170 and then lifted grain basket and sparged with 1 gallon.
Pre boil gravity 1056, post boil 1061 confirmed with Tilt. Used 1 pint of A09 yeast from a dark mild that I’d bottled the same day. 12 hours later gravity had already fallen to 1046!
FG was 1012, so 79% attenuation which is very high for a British ale. There was an alcohol taste, likely from the hot fermentation. Put into cask on 11/19 with 3.5 oz corn sugar.
