CAUTION: LONG POST
Every year I make it my goal to brew every week during the summer. (I am a teacher so I don't have to work.) Last year I made it all but 1 week! I missed out brewing because of a family vacation to Myrtle Beach. Not this year!
I have planned a TINY batch! It will be an extract batch of 1L. This will make it easy to transport from Indiana to Myrtle Beach and back again.
Recipe:
1L (0.25 gal)
8oz Light DME
1oz Crystal 60L
1oz Vienna
1oz Flaked Oats
20 minute steep at 152F then a 20 minute boil.
0.25 oz Cascade @ 20min
1/4 tsp Irish moss @ 20min
Chill in the freezer at the condo.
Pitch a mixed culture of US-05, Brett Brux (5112), and Brett Lambucus (5526). Let it ride at room temperatures for a month then bottle in one 750ml cork and cage. Age till next years annual vacation.
Plan:
- Pack all ingredients, fermentation vessel, bung, airlock, thermometer, refractors, grain bag, funnel, and spray bottle with Star-San.
- Brew in large pot on stove. Use ruffly 0.5 gallons, hopefully ending with 1L into the fermentor.
- Use spray bottle of star-san to sanitize vessel, funnel, and airlock.
Advice Requested
- Is there anything I overlooked?
- Does this sound reasonable?
- How wort travel well? 12ish hours?
- Dry hop?
