Notes
This is the 3rd version of this pale ale. I'm decreasing the overall # of grain to take the projected ABV to approx 6% at estimated brewhouse efficiency of 80% (?). However, I've increased the % of caramel pils for a higher final gravity, something north of 1.01, and a sweeter finishing beer. I was happy with the corn flake and the acidulated sour taste.
I added poblano to 5 gals of the last batch and it was good. Might could increase the amount of roasted pepper to increase the poblano flavor. I'm also considering adding lime zest or extract to make a cerveza. Still researching which would be best.
The poblano experiment went really well. I roasted 5 seeded whole poblanos and soaked them in vodka for about two weeks while the beer was in primary. I added them in a hop sock directly to the keg and it sank and was recovered when the keg kicked. The sunken peppers didn't overpower the beer as I had feared would happen.
