All-Grain - Revolutionary EPA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: S-04
Yeast Starter: No
Batch Size (Gallons): 5
Original Gravity: 1.043
Final Gravity: 1.012
IBU: 39
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 7 @ 65
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 14 @ 65
Tasting Notes: Sweet, hoppy
Wanted a English pale ale with an American influence (such as different malts and a few sneaky chinook hops); hence the name... i'm not creative so don't judge me on that. This is only my second brew and I'm pleased with it!
So here goes (apologies for strange amounts, had to convert from UK to US gallons):
Marris Otter: 8lb
Aromatic: 0.45lb
Crystal: 0.55lb
Special B: 0.45lb
Hops:
Chinook: 0.25oz 60min
Goldings: 1.2oz 60min
Goldings: 1.2oz 10min
Goldings: 1.2oz 5 day dry hop
Chinook: 0.25oz 5 day dry hop
Protafloc / whirlfloc added 15min
Mash 154F 75mins
Batch sparge 180F
Currently in bottles but tasting whilst bottling was good! Sweet with a good amount of hops but not IPA bitterness, should be a very enjoyable beer! Looks quite clear as well in bottles. Will add tasting notes in a week or two.
I'm only getting a measly 70% efficiency with my setup by the way. I think that's mostly due to not having a boiling pot big enough to cope with the evapouration... which means I can't sparge as much as I'd like unless I use a second, smaller pot which I'll probably be doing in the future until I sort myself out with a better setup.
