first beer with the new cooler mash tun! I have a sub-optimal mash tun manifold, made of a single tube of 1\/2″ PEX with 1\/8″ slits cut every 1\/2″ by a dremel with a high-speed cutter. Next time, I will have a more complex and appropriate manifold.<\/p>\n
Recipe:\u00a0http:\/\/hopville.com\/recipe\/1600762\/american-ipa-recipes\/shinken-shobu<\/p>\n
Boiled 1.5gal 15 min, added to fermenter<\/p>\n
Mash avg 148* for 90 min 4 gal water strike at 164 for 12.5 lb grain<\/p>\n
Batch sparge 180* water, 2gal added<\/p>\n
Pulled 3gal off for main boil, 1.5 gal pulled off for a second boil<\/p>\n
Ipa og 1.043?<\/p>\n
Boiled 3 gal 60 min<\/p>\n
Main boil lost .5 gal<\/p>\n
Topped off with water to 5gal<\/p>\n
Used 1\/3 WLP001 yeast cake from holly ale (basically an imperial honey brown ale)<\/p>\n
UPDATE: 8\/9\/2012 – racked to secondary, dry hopped with 1 ounce of whole-cone citra hops (est. ~4gal of wort)<\/p>\n
UPDATE: 8\/15\/2012 – bottled with 4oz of priming sugar. the beer had a funky taste, yielded 39 bottles.<\/p>\n
UPDATE: 8\/31\/2012 – chilled and popped a few bottles, and it is TASTY. The funky taste is almost all gone. It’s kindof a grapefruit bomb, but I like it. From readings, I expect this to mellow down a bit as it ages. It’s also cloudy, despite a whirlfloc tab at 10 minutes. Woot!! I’ll call this a delicious success, esp since Sarah smiled and said it was delicious \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
