AG14 - Admiral On Deck
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:18 pm
I brewed this last week but only just got round to sharing it...
The initial recipe was to be PDTNC's Nelso Brucker but due to a few different ingredients I've given it the name of Admiral on Deck on account of the Nelson Sauvin hops.
Fermentables:
Pale Malt - 650 grams
Munich Malt - 450 grams
Torrefied Wheat - 67 grams
Roasted Rye Malt - 365 grams
Caramunch Malt - 50 grams
Carapils - 67 grams
Hops:
Hallertauer Hersbrucker - 15 grams at 60 mins
Nelson Sauvin - 15 grams at 60 mins
Hallertauer Hersbrucker - 40 grams at 15 mins
Nelson Sauvin - 20 grams at 15 mins
Hallertauer Hersbrucker - 30 grams at 0 mins
Nelson Sauvin - 20 grams at 0 mins
Copper finings at 10 mins.
I did a 60 minutes mash with about 20 minutes of recirculation with the solar pump. 2nd batch sparge for 30 minutes with a 15 minutes recirculation, followed by a 60 minutes boil.
Managed to get a higher efficiency than I was expecting on the mash, I did use too much water on my sparge so the final output was 27L of wort, not 23. The gravity was on target of 1.045 so had it been 4L less I'd have a stronger beer...
I've built a fermenting cupboard which is currently using a bulb on a pulse thermostat I robbed from an old lizard vivarium.
The US-05 yeast has done a good job and it is now tucked up in the secondary fermenter with a current gravity of 1.012.

I like the fem cupboard!
