AG#5 - Otter Dark (ish)

Post by hotmog » Fri Apr 17, 2009 2:29 pm

Thought I'd try this one for a bit of a change. The official recipe is:

Otter Dark 5 gallon batch OG 1046 ABV 4.8%

MARIS OTTER PALE MALT 1995 gms
HALCYON PALE MALT 1995 gms
CRYSTAL MALT 180 gms
CHOCOLATE MALT 180 gms
TORRIFIED WHEAT 90 gms

HOPS boil time 90 minutes no EBU given so 32 EBU

FUGGLES 28 gms
GOLDINGS 28 gms

Add 20 gms GOLDINGS last 15 minutes.

Yeast of your choice.

I don't have any Halcyon, so my version uses all MO with the quantity upped slightly to my standard base amount of 4150gm. Nor do I have any torrefied wheat, but I added some roasted barley and flaked maize instead, and altered the hop variety/quantity to suit what I have available and would be needed to achieve the required IBUs according to my spreadsheet calculator.

So this is what I am using:

23 litre batch

Malts: (90 min mash)

4150 gm Maris Otter pale malt
200 gm Crystal malt
180 gm Chocolate malt
50 gm Roasted barley
350 gm Flaked maize

Hops: (90 min boil)

40 gm Fuggles (4.2%) - 90 min
40 gm Challenger (5.1%) - 90 min
15 gm Styrian Goldings (3.2%) - 15 min
10 gm Goldings (4.8%) - 15 min

Irish Moss - 15 min

Yeast - Safale 04

EBU = 32.8
EBC = 94
OG = 1048.1
FG = 1012.8
ABV = 4.67

It's currently in mid-boil in my outside bog brewhouse. :)

Enjoy your brewday! I love the idea of a boghouse/brewhouse......at least the toilet will be kept spotlessly clean!
