Notes: 10/16 - created yeast starter: 1/2 C DME in 2 C water; boil 10 minutes. Cool to 70 deg F, then pitch yeast.
10/18
- Steep grains for 45 minutes in 1.25 gallons of 165 deg F water (in brew kettle).
- Rinse with .5 gal of cold water
- Add malts, initial hops
- Boil, adding flavor ingredients per schedule
- After 60 minutes, cool in an ice bath, then add to cold water, bringing total volume to 5.5 gal. OG = 1.075@75 deg F - approx 1.08 @ 60F.
- Taste is sweet/malty, with spice and orange notes. Very nice.
- pitch yeast starter.
11/8 Racked to secondary fermenters. SG=1.02 @ 74deg F - approx 1.025 @ 60degF. Taste very nice.
11/22 Bottled. SG = 1.02 Taste is good.
I would cut the honey down to 0.5 lbs the next time. Maybe also reduce some malt. Also consider delaying malt additions to keep the color lighter (this is dark like a porter).
12/23 - not carbonating. Added yeast slurry to remaining bottles |
