ColAmMo
Decided to have a Sunday morning brewtime, after a bacon sarnie to get going. Todays recipe, aiming for around 14 litres at 1.043:
1.5Kg extra light DME - added to the full boil
150g Caramalt 30 EBC
150g Light Caramalt
150g Medium Caramalt
20g Black malt
60 Mins boil
Hops: Columbus 2014 16%AA Pellet/Amarillo 2014 10%AA Pellet/ Mosaic 2015 11.8%AA Leaf
15 mins 10g/10g/10g (plus 1/3 Whirlfloc)
75*C steep 10g/20g/20g
Dry Hop 30g/30g/30g (Planned)
Yeast - 175ml of light parts of the GV12 yeast cake from last week's Post-Peak Bitter (viewtopic.php?f=24&t=75007)
No pictures this week, but the boil is done and the hops are steeping. The 2015 Mosaic leaf is a lovely sticky lump - pulling it apart left my hands with a nice tropical fruit smell on them
Edit: 15L at 1.040 in the FV.

Re: ColAmMo
Vigourous fermentation is dying down, so the planned 90g of dry hops (30/30/30) have gone in, contained in a medium sized voile bag.

Re: ColAmMo
Are you drinking this one yet Adrian? I just wondered how it turned out - those mosaic can be overpowering.

Re: ColAmMo
Not yet - Bottled a week ago, so I should really put them out into the cold... Might have an early test this weekend.
The smell was great, so I'm looking forward to giving it a go.

Re: ColAmMo
I really like this one.
The smell and the initial flavour is like a Fruit Salad. No, not that sort.
This sort:
Then it falls away into a nice malty lingering bitter flavour, so when you take the next sip, the Fruit Salad flavour hits again.
Just writing it down it sounds like a bad combo: sweets & beer? But somehow it works. It probably helps that I like Fruit Salads

Re: ColAmMo
Great hops. A lot of caramalt, that worked out OK?

Re: ColAmMo
It seems to be fine - I had been keeping to around 10-15%, and the beers were coming out slightly lacking in body for our taste. But then, I'm using DME, and I understand that 1.5kg DME is roughly equivalent to 2.5Kg of grain with a 75% efficiency, so although it looks like 25% caramalt, for an equivalent all grain recipe it would be more like 15%.
I also use the terms caramalt and crystal malt interchangeably... I hope that's ok?

Re: ColAmMo
Whatever works is OK! And 15% isn't ridiculous, just higher than I tend to go.

Re: ColAmMo
OK - new data on ColAmMo -
I have just set up for an Amarillo single hop, and found that it's an unopened pack... and I only have one pack I guess it wasn't Amarillo in ColAmMo But now I don't know what it was... Cascade or Summit are most likely. I just wish I could remember which bag of hops was around 60g light a couple of months back
