Hazy Sculpin sounds better than the normal sculpin, although the beer is outstanding, or used to be.
This is a consensus from 4 different published recipes for sculpin with significant reduction of 60 min and 30 min hop additions to lower the IBU to reasonable number.
1-Omit whirfloc
2-Dry hop on day 4 of fermentation w/ 1st batch of hops.
3-On Day 8 replace dry hops with fresh round of hops for 4 more days.
Calculated IBU on my spreadsheet is 88.5
Calculated SRM using Morey’s equation is 9.4., using Daniel’s
formula is 7.2 which is closer to Brewer’s Friend number.
ABV on my spread sheet is 6.6%.
High altitude, 6627’, boiling temp is 203, evaporation rate at 25%
Will enter composition of water later, although our water in Colorado is just simply nice and crisp. Beats SanDiego water. I’ve been adding 1 tsp of Calcium Chloride and 1/2 tsp of gypsum.
Mash rest time = 60 @152 plus 15 min at average of 165. It takes time for my RIM set up to react.
Turned out one delicious IPA I’ve brewed. Definitely a permanent fixture of my humble six tap garage brewery. Didn’t have Crystal on hand, replaced it with Chinook.
Hope the photo doesn’t come sideways. And it did. Oh, well.
