Notes

Batch #2 - 18/11/18 (64% Eff.)

  • Made for X-mas
  • 19g of Warrior (first wort) up from 16g at 60 min.


  • Batch #1 - 17/6/18 (59% Eff. made on Mark's Grain father)
  • Gladfield American Ale used for Pale 2 row
  • Gladfield Light Crystal used for Crystal 20
  • Special B dialled back to 200g from 225g
  • Gladfield RedBack for CaraRed
  • US-04 in for Wyeast 1272 American Ale II, dry pitched x2 packs then aerated after 30 min.
    23/6/18 - SG:1020, tasting great with a hoppy hit, not looking too red though.
  • Upped dry hop to 70g of Citra from 60g
    28/6/18 - SG:1016, cold crashed
    30/6/18 - Gelatin added (1 tsp in 200ml boiled water)
    1/7/18 - Kegged and carbed at 30psi for 2.30 minutes
    7/7/18 - Tasty out of the keg, slightly sweet with fruity tropical juice hop finish, not as red as expected.
    24/7/18 - Still very tasty, well worth making again, plenty of hop flavour and a touch of the malt biscuit.
