1 Pkgs Irish Ale (Wyeast Labs #1084) [Starter 1500 ml] Yeast-Ale
Mash at 152. 65% efficiency. Added 9 gm Gypsum, 1 gm NaCl, 4 gm Epsom, 1 gm CaCl, 1 gm Baking Soda, 4 gm Chalk to the mash. I will change the mash salts slightly next time I brew it to raise the mash ph a tad.
This brew took best of show in the 2011 Las Vegas Winterfest Homebrew Competition. The Midnight Wheat makes it black as night and adds a subtle dryness to the finish. After the brew has conditioned for a few weeks, there are almost no roasty flavors detectable.
Note: all hops are pellet additions except for the one addition of whole leaf hops since I had them in my inventory.
