Notes

The extract beer base I have been using for experimentation with different fruits.

  • 3 gallon steep @157F
  • 5.5 gallon boil - needs to be increased as my 10 gallon kettle has close to 20% evaporation loss of wort.
  • 1oz Saaz (Czech) @60mins - 1oz Saaz (Czech) @30mins
  • Chilled with immersion chiller using ice bath via submersible pump to 78F - Yeast pitched (1 pack WLP320 - no starter)
  • Transfered to 6.5 gallon carboy via ball valve and sealed with blow off tube
  • Placed in wine closet completely free of outside light - room temperature

  • Noticeable clumping of yeast and forming of top layer within 12 hours
  • Large Krausen seen and vigorous fermentation/bubbling within 24 hours.
  • Will primary 2 weeks then be racking onto 6.75lbs freshly mashed mango for 1-2 weeks in a 5 gallon carboy
