Just brewed (mostly) this 5gal recipe yesterday. I added 1/2 lb flaked oats, 1/4 lb acidulated and 1/4 biscuit. Changed the hop schedule a little as well. 1/2oz Centennial FWH and another 1/2oz at 20 min, then 4oz citra in the "whirlpool" with 1.5oz of that around ~170F and 2.5oz at ~145F for about 15 min each. First time trying this method, but I think I'll also DH with some citra near peak fermentation or a little after. Really looking forward to trying this after all the reviews!
A couple of notes I had:
1) my mash was a little low for the first 15-20 min at ~147, so I upped it to ~151-152 for the final 40 min, which thinned out the mash a little to close to 1.4 quarts/lb
2) I ended up collecting about 7 gal of wort at ~1.037 which got up to about 1.048 after the 60 min boil, which yielded 5gal into the FV
It sounds like this beer finishes up pretty quickly? I'm hoping to have it kegged and carbonated for a party on the 28th. I thought I read some replies on this thread about it being possible, but anyone brew this recently and have been able to package and serve within 2 weeks?
Thanks guys!
