Just brewed a Pale that I think will be a complete hit. A friend form the LHBC joined me for a brew day with his recipe and ingredients. He had some limitations at the moment with regard to brewing at the house, so I was more than happy to oblige.
Batch is a simple grist of 82% GP, 15% flaked oats, and 3% GNO. 5.75- Targeting 4.9%ABV (1.049 OG)
2 oz of hops @5 were an ounce each of Vic Secret and Denali
20 min Hop stand @175°F of the same hops and distribution
20 min Hop stand @160°F of the same hops and distribution
Yeast is Imperial A38 Juice
Two stage dry hop - 7 days and 3 days
Each dry hop is 2 oz of each Denali and Vic Secret.
All numbers hit during the run. We were a bit over a quart over volume, so @10 min I added corn sugar to boost the gravity to target. Only needed 3 points over 6 gallons, so 9 oz was enough to account for the gravity (plus a touch extra to account for refractometer correction factors)
Being the airlock sniffer I am, I had to check this morning. Bubbling away like mad. Krausen is high so I scraped a sample off the top to squirrel it away. The smell is just amazing. I am looking forward to this batch.
