Notes

Have some DME ready. Use FERMCAP! Shoot for 80 IBUs.

Version 1) Very Good.

  • 2 vials of WLP051
  • pitched at 1.0 pitching rate (need 2 vials into 2L starter)
  • used 1lb DME to get to 22 brix (adjusted efficiency down on software to read 22). Next time do a double mash (listen to brew strong blichmann #1 show January 2016)
  • Primary- 20-30 seconds of oxygen 9 hours after pitch. .5 oz steamed medium toast hungarian oak cubes plus juice... 30 seconds of O2 8-12 hours after pitching. Ferment at 67 raise 1 degree per day starting day 7 up to 72. Airlock activity stopped at day 11, rested for 1.5 days. Read 1.025 FG (9.2% on calculator)
  • Secondary on 2 oz steamed medium toast hungarian oak cubes plus juice for 8 days at 65F. Minimal Oak character (although present).
    -6 beers left, added another 1 oz in keg for two weeks (in fridge). Entered WoodAged this in (sunshine) and big wood (FCC)
    -Score sheets for non wood aged enries (imperial stout) said it needed to bigger with more body.
  • won bronze at FCC.. Mentioned adding a little more roasted grains so I bumped it from 1.5 to 1.7. This is a really good beer
