OG: | 1.058 | FG: | 1.010 | |||||
Alcohol: | 6.2% v/v (4.9% w/w) | |||||||
Water: | I use cirtric acid to adjust my water to a 6.0 ph. | |||||||
Grain: | 9 lb. 8 oz. American 2-row 8 oz. American crystal 60L 12 oz. Dextrine malt (Cara-Pils) |
|||||||
Mash: | 81% efficiency | |||||||
I mash in 13.44 quarts of water at 168 degrees f to acheive a mash temp of 154. I let it mash for 90 minutes. | ||||||||
Boil: | 105 minutes | SG 1.036 | 8.91 gallons | |||||
I let this boil for 15 before I start adding the hops so the total boil time is 105 minutes. I do this to allow for a good hot break. I sacoop out the hot break and add the magnum hops with 90 minutes remaining. I use a tablet of whirflock at 15 minutes remaining. | ||||||||
Hops: | 1.3 oz. Magnum (14.2% AA, 90 min.) 1 oz. Amarillo (9.2% AA, 10 min.) 2 oz. Amarillo (9.2% AA, 5 min.) |
|||||||
Yeast: | I use Nottingham, but SafAle US-05 works good as well. | |||||||
Log: | I huave made this several times. All of my friends like this beer. Ferment at 67 degrees F. Leave it on the yeast cake for 2 weeks. Transfer to secondary for 4 more weeks. | |||||||
Carbonation: | 2.4 volumes | Dried Malt Extract: 7.77 oz. for 5.5 gallons @ 67°F | ||||||
Bottled or keeged I love this beer. I cask condition this with 4 ounces of X-Lite DME for 4 weeks. At the end of the 11 week period this will be an outstanding beer. Of course you can drink it green if you like or you can force carbonate to cut 4 or so weeks off of the timeframe. It's well worth the wait. | ||||||||
Tasting: | This is another staple in my Keezer. This IPA has an excellent grapefruit flavor with just the right amount of bitterness. |
