Another lovely brew day, decided to try 3711 after all of the raves here-
10# Moravian Pils Floor Malt
.5# Acidulated Malt
.5# Belgian 17 degree pale
1oz Homegrown Sterling 60 minutes
.5oz Homegrown Saaz 30 minutes
.35oz Homegrown Saaz 10 minutes
1T yeast nutrient
.25t Super Irish Moss (Carageenan)
3.5 gallons strike water @165
mashed in @ 148, held 60 minutes
vorlaufed, added direct heat to raise mash to 154 30 minutes
sparged w/5 gallons @170
collected a bit over 7 gallons wort, boiled a total of 100 minutes
wort developed a nice toasty color
chilled, pitched 1.25l starter of vigorous 3711, 5.5 gallons in fermenter with blowoff tube
in ferm fridge @68F, will probably get up to low seventies from metabolic action
OG is 1.054, hope this one is a nice quencher for the fall
