All Out Equinox
All Out Equinox
I made a brew with 50% Equinox recently which I loved, having bought 500g of these I decided to make a Christmas hop monster. The 1kg of Vienna is actually 1KG of Best Red X where I have adjusted the EBC
I am doing an overnight full volume mash in the BM and will finish tomorrow morning whilst *working* from home. I'll update the thread as I go.
Yeast starter kicking off yesterday
Grain bill
Doughing in
Filter platers on and programme commenced
Flooded to full 34L volume
Yeast starter bubbling away nicely
Nice clear Wort having mashed through the night
Lobbed the Magnum as FWH and coming to boil
Nice rolling boil
Boiling away nicely, the domed lid and jacket help a great deal. Helps a lot in Scotland at this time of year
5 minute addition weighed out
Post boil steep
Chilling down
Monitoring chilling whilst doing some work. Look forward to when they add more to the wifi controller
23c and ready for whirlpool

Re: All Out Equinox
I done that intentionally as it is actually Red X malt which is why the EBC is 30. I am just too lazy to manually create a new malt

Re: All Out Equinox
I hope so . I pitched the 1L starter (I split a 2L in half for next brew) at high Krausen around 12pm at 17c, checked it there and bubbling away very nicely with a nice Krausen forming. I'll crank it up to 22c after 36-48 hours then leave to fully attenuate before dry hopping for a few days then into the keg ahead of the festive periodAdrianTrace wrote:I love equinox: that'll be a beast

Re: All Out Equinox
Yeah, just dropped 100g in there just now and keeping it 21.5c. I'll start bringing that down a bit in 2 days to allow them to drop, then I'll add the remaining 100g. Plan to get it in the keg on Sunday, condition in there for a few weeks then move it to a 9L Corny for mobile use and the rest to bottles I can give out/take round to others. Don't expect this to last after the festive period.orlando wrote:Try it in 100g stages 3 days each.Aaron wrote:That 200g dry hop will certainly tickle your taste buds.
Re: All Out Equinox
An Equinox beer is the only one of about 40-odd brews I've had to chuck. There's a green pepper taste that can come through, which I've seen others talk about too. Personally, I'd go easy with it on the dry hop, but then it's far from my favourite hop. Can work in combo.
