Going with lower crystal since this yeast leaves higher residual sweetness.
Looking for a very dry beer that's session worthy, but has good malt and hops- hops on the nose and up front.
Brewed on 07/03/15: Full 6 gallons at 12.3 Brix (1.047). Mashed @150.8. Pitched @68.
Filled dip stick to 7.25, ended with about 6.25 or so.
ON THE MONEY!
07/08/15: Raised temp to 68
07/11/15: Raised temp to 69
07/14/15: Raised temp to 70.
07/20/15: 4 days before kegging. Refractometer read 5.6 brix ( 1.0097 @4.8% alcohol via Sean T Calc) - Around 78% attenuation.
07/23/15: Kegged a full 5 gallons. 5.2 Brix (1.008FG @ 5% alcohol)
08/02/15: Sampled some and it's actually not as dry/crisp/hoppy as i wanted it. The big 10 min addition of hops is not accurate- It feels more like 20ish IBUs instead of 31.
I would hop to 35 and add finishing hops next time to around 40, and I would mash this at 148. I'll see what happens once it's fully carbed up. I might brew this again and then do a porter ;)
08/05/15: Sampled a full 20oz glass. It's actually a bit hoppier than I remember, and it looks beautiful and has hop presence - awesome summer beer.
Next time mashing at 148 and raising base IBUs by 5.
10/05/15: Tastes the last bits and the carbonic acid bite was mostly gone. The beer did lose a lot of freshness though and there wasn't a whole lot of malty sweetness anymore. Color wise it's very pretty.
