Hello fellow 1-galloniers!
I have just started brewing and tasted my first batch (1-gallon wheat beer) while bottling, and I felt pleased about the taste.
Jey! I´ve also started reading this topic from the start. I´m now in page 31 of 170.
Today I´m going to make my second batch that will be APA.
And I just want to check that everything is about right:
So I´ll put BIAB bag and stainer to my kettle (7 litres) and heat about 5 litres / 1,3 gallons of water to steeping temp (68 celcius).
I´ll put the chrystal-grains (200grams) in the kettle.
Lid on and to owen for a 15 minutes.
(is it ok to left the owen on wen using a biab bag? I measured that I can hold the temperature in about 65 celcius when the owen is on)
Take the bag out and squeeze.
Start heating the wort and add (500grams) DME Light.
When boiling:
Adding 20 grams of Mosaic pellet (AA 12,3) like this:
20min 5grams
10min 5grams
5min 5 gams
0min 5grams
I counted that this would give me about 50IBU.
Using only mosaic because for now its all I could get.
(well I have some Saaz left from the wheat beer session also).
I tried to get Citra, but that was run out.
My original recipe told to put 20grams of Citra in batch at 10min.
Chilling in bathtub full of iced coolers.
I wonder should I pour all the turb from the kettle to fermenter, some of it, or not at all?
(In my first batch I left it all in the kettle.)
Yeast: US-05 (about 1/3 of the 11grams package).
Fermentation in 5 litres / 1,3 gallons glassbottle with airlock.
I would be grateful if someone could give some comments, tips, improvements, for my brew-plans.
Ps. Huge respect to all you guys. I have learned so much from this forumtopic. Nice to be here. And Hello to all
And sorry for the huge post.
