Batch 73 turned out to be epic. 73 and 74 were the same wort (a Pliny clone base) fermented two ways, one in a traditional west-coast IPA style, and the other fermented like an NEIPA. The NEIPA (74) wasn’t bad, but the straight Pliny clone was killer. The next Pliny-like batch departed in grain bill and hops, so I’m returning now to the basic process and recipe for 73. Let’s give this a go, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m also (for the first time) using my second large 15gal kettle as a mash tun. I can’t do full HERMS today b\/c my PID controller needs to be replaced, but suffice it to say, I’m gonna give this the old college try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recipe Type:<\/strong> All Grain 12.5# 2-row 1# Sucrose (added after the krausen fell)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3oz Nugget (12.4%) \u2013 FWH (1.5) tsp Gypsum added to mash<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mashed in 7.5g of strike water (4 gal above the false bottom) a little hot, added 1\/2gal cold tap water, brought it to right about 150\u00b0, mashed for 90 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n boiled for 60 minutes, chilled and whirlpooled between 160\u00b0-180\u00b0 for about 15 minutes, then chilled in the counterflow and collected ~5 gallons, with some schmutz<\/p>\n\n\n\n STARTED WITH 7gal IN THE BREW KETTLE, NEED TO UP TO 7.5gal NEXT TIME!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2\/4\/22 – added 1# of table sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2\/7\/22 – gravity: 1.015, cloudy in the carboy, tasted markedly “sweet”<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2\/10\/22 – gravity: 1.012, starting to fall clear, tastes more balanced – gonna transfer to 2ndary tomorrow and begin the dry hop<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2\/12\/2022 – gravity: 1.012 racked to 2ndary and dry hopped with 1oz Simcoe, 1oz Nugget, 1.5oz Cascade<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Batch 73 turned out to be epic. 73 and 74 were the same wort (a Pliny clone base) fermented two ways, one in a traditional west-coast IPA style, and the other fermented like an NEIPA.
