After a long absence due to home renovations and the craziness that is the world these days, I have finally been able to get back to brewing again. I had a friend over to hang out with me this past weekend while I was making a Kilkenny clone and he asked me about brewing up a clone of his favourite (Canadian spelling) craft beer, Muskoka Detour ISA. I told him I would look around as I have never tasted that beer (the local beer stores do not carry it where we are). I looked to their website https://muskokabrewery.com/beer/detour/ which gave a lot of information about the beer and they list all of the ingredients (obviously not the exact recipe). With that information and my setup, I came up with the following recipe:
7lbs - Maris Otter
2lbs - 2-Row (not sure why they are using 2 base malts)
.5lbs - Carapils (I am not able to get Dextra Pils in my area)
.5oz - Sorachi Ace - 60 min
.5oz - El Dorado - 15 min
.5oz - Citra - Dry Hop (3 days?)
Yeast - On my last LHBS pickup, they mistakenly gave me a package of Ebbegarden Kveik Blend which apparently "prodces fuity esters leaning towards guava and mango" which sounds like it might be very good for this beer.
Plugging this into Beersmith gets me an approx 4.4% ABV beer with 31 IBUs and SRM of 3.8
Given that I am taking a shot in the dark as is anyone here who has not tasted a Muskoka Detour...but based on the description on their site for the beer, any suggestions on how this recipe might work? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
