I scored a huge hop sale on MoreBeer.com before the holiday, and in that purchased my first ever Falconer’s Flight (1#). Over the holiday I finished the build and tested my 1-element electric brewing control (adapted from theelectricbrewery.com). To test out the system (and add some more hops to my current tap list), I chose to brew a MO\/Falconer’s Flight SMaSH(ish). The ‘ish’ is due to the pound of oats I added – this was a mistake in terms of process, as I didn’t have any rice hulls, and the sparge got stuck ( a few times \ud83d\ude41 ). I brewed this in the red 5gal cooler, and it seems that this was not a good setup for the 6″ thermoprobe that I used, as this crept down to ~147* – to compensate, I tried upping the temperature of the HLT, but it didn’t budge the probe temps – I dropped my old floating thermometer in about 45 minutes into the mash and lo and behold – it was up around 160\u00b0 (!!!) so … I dunno what happened or what will come of it, but the mash had a gradual rise from about 140-152\u00b0 over about 15 minutes, and then sat probably in the 150-152\u00b0 range for another 30 minutes before running up to 160\u00b0. I probably won’t be able to replicate this with any fidelity. After a few stuck sparges, I dumped everything into the big blue mash tun, ran it off, boiled, and made beer \ud83d\ude42 I think I accidentally made a model of a few various NEIPA recipes (including use of WLP007 like Trillium does) so I’ll dry hop this as an NEIPA and we’ll see what happens!!<\/p>\n
Recipe Type<\/strong>: All Grain 10# Maris Otter gradual rise from about 140-152\u00b0 over about 15 minutes, and then sat probably in the 150-152\u00b0 range for another 30 minutes before running up to 160\u00b0. dumped into a different mash tun after a few stuck sparges, which dropped the temps but sparged with 170\u00b0 water.<\/p>\n 0.5oz Falconer’s Flight (11% alpha) FWH 2oz Falconer’s Flight after temperature dropped to 165\u00b0, then whirlpooled as I continued to drop temps – they reached down to ~145\u00b0 over 20 minutes before I began to transfer to the carboy. Probably stood between 165\u00b0 and 145\u00b0 for ~30 minutes.<\/p>\n 1oz Falconer’s Flight per day for 4 days starting at high krausen<\/p>\n UPDATE 1\/9\/19: I pitched the yeast starter a few hours after transferring to the carboy. I checked the next morning and there were beginnings of krausen, and by the evening there was full, almost looking like post-peak krausen. I measured the temperature at about 62\u00b0, so the krausen may have just been tamed by the temperature (ambient was cold in the basement). I’ve since pitched ~1oz FF\/day into the carboy (we’re now on day 3; the first two days were 32 grams, today was 28 grams)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I scored a huge hop sale on MoreBeer.com before the holiday, and in that purchased my first ever Falconer’s Flight (1#).
