Also brewed this yesterday. OG was a few points higher than target but that's okay. 12 hours after pitching yeast, it's already bubbling away at room temp.
Quick question - did anyone do a 90 min boil on this because of the pils malt/potential DMS? I did a normal 60 min boil but I've never used pils before so I'm slightly nervous
Keep everyone posted how it goes, I have $10 that says it hits 1.004 within a week.
My basement, where i ferment, is consistently 64, so I figure it's fermenting around 68-72. 3711 chewed this down to 1.004 in 7 days. It's been almost 2 weeks since then and I haven't checked the gravity again yet, but I would put money on it that it dropped down to at least 1.002. I might not get many of the fruity esters, have to see this weekend when I pull a sample out, but as far as the yeast performing I don't think mid 60's will give you any problem. The initial sample I got after the first 7 days had good citrus notes to it, I'm hoping it held through the whole fermentation.
This look like an infection to anybody? No off smell or taste at this point anyway. There's still a lot that hasn't settled in the wort and right now in don't really have the means to cold crash it.
Bottle from under the ook, carb em up and refrigerate those bad chickens!
If it's infected, refrigeration will slow the issue, if it's yummy, knock em back!
Gonna give this bad boy a try. My question is about the orange blossom honey and seeds of paradise pepper. If it makes the beer that much better then I will order the stuff. Or would regular honey and pepper be fine?
There have been so many substitutions in the course of this thread, I've used EKG, but I do love the spice notes of saaz.... And the citrus notes in any of the c-hops could be nice...
I ordered my grains from my LHBS and they ended up putting 2 lbs of white wheat, 1 lb of flaked oats, and 1 lb of caramunich all into one sack (they normally separate each grain into separate bags, but not this time), would I totally screw this brew up using those amounts with 8 lbs of 2 row?
I brewed this last night with my extract conversion
I only added 1 tsp of ground pepper because I used organic Kampot pepper from Cambodia
My OG was a bit low, which I am happy with if the 3711 lives up to its reputation and ferments down to 1.00X
Excited to see how it goes. I put a blow off tube and it is bubbling great so far
