My wife really likes this beer. We've brewed it a couple times.
Tomorrow I'm brewing a 15 gallon batch on the Grainfather G70.
Came up a little low on citra so i'm subbing some cascade.
Thanks for this recipe !
I got the G70 during their big sale a couple months ago. I did a 10 gallon test batch on it, and i love it. i purchased the grains for a 15 gallon batch of pale ale i will be brewing on Monday. I splurged and bought the Grainfather S70 fermenter last week so I can ferment the whole batch in...
No doubt - I pitched on Friday afternoon - came in high on SG at 1.075. Two days later it is at 1.020 (still bubbling using a regular airlock now). That's 7.24% ABV in TWO DAYS. I have never seen anything like that, and I have been brewing for 10 years.
HOLY FERMENTATION Batman ! Pitched Nottingham at 130pm yesterday - I have had to swap out blow off tubes about a dozen times so far. Wow ! Can't wait to see how this turns out!
I bottled mine, since it has to age a couple months to taste "right". I took a sip and it did have a warm alcohol feel to it, and the vanilla was strong. Can't wait for this to age and try one !
