My first dubbel, which will serve as\u00a0a starter for next week’s beer (Christmas Quad and Pumpkin Dubbel), I present: Dubbel or Nothin<\/p>\n
Copious notes taken (though not necessarily followed) on the topic of and recipes for Dubbels from Zymurgy and a smattering of HBT recipes \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
10# Pearl Malt (2-row)
\n1# Aromatic
\n1# CaraAroma
\n0.5# C60
\n1# D90 (10 minutes left)<\/p>\n
1oz Northern Brewer (9.1% leaf) 60 minutes<\/p>\n
whirlfloc @ 10 minutes<\/p>\n
WLP500<\/p>\n
O.G. 1.070 @ ~80* \ud83d\ude42 ~6 gallons taken<\/p>\n
no water additions, but filtered tap water<\/p>\n
used a reflectix jacket (double layered) around the BK, and used my faucet\/screen for the first time!<\/p>\n
Filled the 5-gallon red cooler with grain and mash liquor. First addition: 3.75 gal 163* water, in a few portions (3.25 gal, then .25 gal at a time from the stove). lots of dough balls to break up. Mash held steady for just over an hour at 147*. Checked conversion with iodine before sparge and lauter \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
drew off first runnings, added 2.1 gal boiling water to get to 170 (mash out), then added an additional 3 gal water at 170* to get to final volume.<\/p>\n
Brewer’s friend’s efficiency calculator says I got 85% efficiency on this one!!!! Woohoo!!<\/p>\n
UPDATE 8\/4\/14: Krausen has been high since Sunday morning, bubbling away in frothy Belgian goodness \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
UPDATE 9\/1\/14: FG 1.012 (8% ABV) strong banana nose, but less banana nose than a month ago! Little to no banana taste, let’s hope it ages well \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
