Hi all,
This is my 3rd homebrew attempt. Attempt #1 apparently was a fail.
I currently have in the fermenter this clone recipe (with a few minor changes I made in bold and in parentheses).
Batch Size: 5.000 gal
Boil Size: 3.000 gal (6 gal)
Boil Time: 1.000 hr
OG: 1.055 (1.070 - HOLY COW!)
FG: 1.015
ABV: 5.3%
Bitterness: 35.0 IBUs (Tinseth)
Color: 5 SRM (Morey)
Fermentables
================================================== ==============================
Pilsen Dry Extract Extract 6.000 lb
Cara-Pils/Dextrine Grain 8.000 oz
Carastan 30-37 Grain 8.000 oz (Carafoam 8 oz. couldn't get Carastan)
(Also added 5 oz priming sugar from a kit. I keg, but didn't want to waste fementables)
(This recipe didn't specify a steep time or temp on the grains, so I went with 30 minutes, hovering between 155-165. My burner control skilz are not so hot yet)
Hops
================================================== ==============================
Magnum 12.1% 0.750 oz Boil 1.000 hr Pellet 19.2
Cascade 5.5% 0.500 oz Boil 30.000 min Pellet 4.5
Tettnang 4.8% 0.500 oz Boil 15.000 min Pellet 2.5
Amarillo 10.2% 1.000 oz Boil 5.000 min Leaf 3.9
Amarillo 10.2% 1.000 oz Dry Hop 7.000 day Leaf 0.0
Yeast
================================================== ==============================
Wyeast - London Ale III Ale Liquid 0.528 cup Primary
This will no doubt be a strong, hoppy summer beer. I am very excited about it, and it smells lovely at the airlock. Will be posting updates and a side-by-side taste test soon. I keep Twilight in the fridge at all times, so it when it's done, we will know!
