BIAB #5
Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2011 6:49 pm
Going to have brew day tomorrow to use up some bits and pieces.
The malt bill will be something like:
91% Pale Malt
3.5% Crystal
3.5% Munich
2% CaraAmber
Hops will be
Northdown (8.7% AA) and
Challenger (7.6%AA) 60min boil for bittering
Northdown late hops at 15 min.
Yeast S04.
The style/ingredients is based loosely on Badger Dorset best bitter (munich and caraamber not in the original recipe).
Mini-BIAB looking for about 10 or 11L into bottles, at an OG of 1041 and IBU about 28 which is a shade higher than the original. Exact quantities will depend on contents of freezer and malt store.
Given the high alkalinity of my tap water I am, for the first time, going to try out some water treatment. Addition of CRS (about 1mg/L) to the total volume of liquor before the mash, and a small addition of gypsum to the mash, and then to the boil.
Wish me luck!
