AG#6: 09.02.09 - Townes IPA (With Pics)
Posted: Mon Feb 09, 2009 4:00 pm
Hey guys,
Currently mashing at the moment, my first brew since moving back up to bonny Scotland:
Townes IPA (Batch size 21L):
90 Min Mash at 66C:
4.77Kg Maris Otter Pale Malt
190g Wheat Malt
90 Min Boil:
56g Cascade (8.2% AA) for 90 mins
16g Cascade (8.2% AA) for 15 mins
20g Cascade (8.2% AA) 80C steep for 20 mins
The water up here has not really got a lot of anything in it so I adjusted the water chemistry according to Graham's calculator. I didn't add any calcium carbonate but I think I should have, as my total alkalinity is somewhere between 10 and 15 mg/L and I think my mash pH is a little low. Nevertheless, I am sure it will turn out ok!
Anyway, pics so far, will update as the day goes on:
Grains all weighed out

Hops ready

Mashing in

pH (a bit on the low side)

All Wrapped up bang on 66C
