Yes, adjust the amount of the ingredients to get your efficiency.
Bump !
I brewed this about 3 months ago.....it came out fantastic.
I brewed it again about a month ago, but substituted Patagonia Pale Malt which my LHBS had a few bags of. The owner said he had heard great things about it, but had yet to brew with it himself.
It's been in a keg now for 4 days, and I cannot wait to try it. I'll let you all know if the Patagonia lends anything different.
Any tastes yet???
Yes! Came out very nice. It tastes "cleaner", or "crisper".....but that could be a variation in the fermentation from my previous batch.
I would also say that the Patagonia has more malt flavor. The color appears to be the same....I need to start taking pics to compare.
I finally tried this one today. I cut all the ingredients in half as I was doing a 2.5g batch. Wow.. was I off on my OG by a TON. I did this as a BIAB.. only my 2nd BIAB brew. I preheated the MT with 160* water and mashed in the 4.5# of grain with 165* adjusted water. Couldn't believe it.. Temp dropped to 145*.. So I pulled some weak wort and heated to 170*. I did this twice and got it to 154*. However, after 1 hour of mashing with 6.75 qts of water and sparging with 168* water and going thru my 1 hour boil, I only came up with a gravity of 1.032. This is the worst I've ever done.. by far. Worse yet, I cooled the wort before checking. So, I put it back into the BK and added enough DME to bring it up to 1.055.. just short of Yoopers OG. Part of my issue was I had FAR less boil off than I usually do. Change in BK and possibly not as vigorous a boil as usual. It's now in the fermenter. We'll see how it turns out.
Next time, I'm going to check my numbers the BIAB calculator before progressing. I only lost 3/4gal in this boil and usually have double that... argghhh. Nothing like a change in process.
The first time I did a BIAB, I used the calculator at BIAB and it came out perfect. Have NO idea why this one didn't . This made for a L O N G brew day.
Good enough for me. I just placed it in the kegerator at 10 psi. This is my first AG and the FG sample was excellent. I dropped the ball on the last dry hop addition so I only dry hopped overnight. Still had that nice faint bite at the nose. The color of this brew is amazing in primary. Thanks for the advice.Ive only bottled this one, but i feel like as soon as its done it should be ready to keg. Ill keg the next batch i do as ive expanded my kegging operation.
Whats the consensus on aging?. From primary straight to the keg? Let it naturally carb? Purge it and leave it for awhile?
would this beer be good if i used:
1oz Summit FWH
1oz Amarillo @ 20 min
1oz Cascade @ 5 min
1oz Cascade dry hop
that's what i have on hand
OOH, yeah.. lol
alpha on the Summit is 17.9%
yikes
i'm going with
1 oz cascade fwh
.5 oz amarillo 20 min
.5 oz amarillo 10 min
.5 oz cascade 5 min
.5 oz cascade flame out
1 oz cascade dry hop, after fg
cascade im using are 9.7 aau and amarillo is 8.8 aau
does this look good to you, Yooper?
