Brew Day (2017-02-25)
Heat 6 gallons of water to 155°. The grains will already be warm.
Transfer grains to cooler and dough in additional 1lb 2row.
Mash grains at 150° for 1 hour or as long as it takes to brew primary beer.
Remove “grain bag” and allow grains to drain.
Rinse grains using a colander and get every last drop of wort potential.
Bring wort to a boil.
Once wort is boiling, add 0.75 oz Zythos hops and continue for 30 minutes.
Add 0.5 oz Chinook hops and continue boil for another 15 minutes.
Add 1 oz Citra, 0.5 oz Simcoe hops and continue boil for 10 minutes. (This is a good time to drop in the wort chiller.)
Add 1 oz Amarillo Gold hops at flame out.
Reduce wort temperature to 68° and take OG reading.
Sufficiently aerate and transfer to primary fermenter.
Pitch yeast starter into fermenter.
Allow beer 2 weeks in the primary to adequately ferment and cleanup any diacetyl produced during fermentation.
Use gelatin finings and allow up to 1 week for beer to clear at room temperature.
Transfer to secondary for 1 week adding 1ozAmarillo for dry hop.
Bottle and wait another 2 weeks…
Enjoy!
Notes:
- Yeast starter was amazing. Airlock had bubbles every 5 minutes within 30 minutes and a 2 inch krausen within 10 hours.
- Airlock still has a constant stream of bubble after 24 hours.
- Krausen started dropping out after 48 hours.
- Transferred to secondary and dry hopped at 2.75 weeks.
- Bottled after 1.25 weeks in secondary.
- This was an amazing brew. The only improvement I could make would be closer attention to the water profile.
