It took a lot of restraint to not come up with a more salacious name for this beer. EDIT after tasting it (3\/23), I’m starting to think of something like “easier than a presidential fitness test” b\/c it is Easy Drinking.<\/p>\n
Recipe Type:<\/strong>\u00a0All Grain 6# 2-row 3.5 gal 170\u00b0 strike water yielded initial 155\u00b0 mash, and I stirred and left the cap off of the mash tun until it came down to ~152\u00b0.<\/p>\n Sparge (infusion) with 5.25 gal 170\u00b0 water Technical difficulties were encountered. One of the heat sticks was taking on water and shorting, so while the FWH were simmering away, I went out to secure propane. All in all, the FWH lasted about an hour, which is great b\/c we had a boil over once we got to temperature.<\/p>\n 1oz Cascade FWH 1 Whirlfloc @ 10 minutes<\/p>\n 0.75oz Bitter Orange Peel @ flameout Chilled to ~68\u00b0, transferred to the FerMonster (recovered ~6 gallons), and pitched 2 old packets (expired 3\/2017 and 10\/2017, respectively) of Nottingham \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n UPDATE 3\/12: nice calm krausen, and the fermenter reads just under 61* \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n UPDATE 3\/23: clear, LIGHT (straw-colored), and potentially dry as a bone (FG: 1.004??). Rather delicious: crisp, very malty (and a tiny bit bready), and if the orange and coriander are coming through, I’m having a hard time telling. I will need to let the Mrs taste this when it is cool and carbonated, but by many accounts, I think this is shaping up to have the flavor profile of a ?Cream ale? though it’s clocking in at around 6% (I’m wondering if this is b\/c I pitched two packets – they were old, but I’m wondering if they were more viable than I had expected). Who cares, it’s TASTY AS HELL. maybe re-make this beer and call it “boat beer”? maybe take the ABV back down a bit in that case?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It took a lot of restraint to not come up with a more salacious name for this beer.
