Perfect pumpkin ale. 2 thumbs up.
I personally would maybe add some more hops to bitter it a bit.
Maybe a bit maltier would be better. Mash higher. |

2014-12-05 21:04:47 | Ahhh PA (Lite) pils (Batch Copy) | All Grain | 12 | 13.82083 | 60 | 6.156991 | 1.05799996852875 | 1.0110000371933 | 80 | 7.418808 | 8 | Subbed cascade for centennial. We shall see.
Using Hana ph meter, we want. Ph of 5.2-5.4(145-165) instead of 5.4-5.6 (room temp)
A higher ph (more basic) -> sweater beer
A lower ph (more acidic) -> drier beer
Measure ph. Add 1/2 ml of 88%lactic acid
Stir and remeasure.
It usually takes 1 or 2 ml at most for a mash of this size.
Sparge water should be 5.6 to 5.8
Pre boil ph should be around 5.0-5.5.
Mash ph was 5.38 with no adjustments.
Mash 5.35 after 0.5 ml
Sparge water at 5.83
Pre boil sg: 1054
Expecting post boil sg: 1058-1061
Need to see what boil off is.
How many gallons per hour.
Was 1g/hour
May dilute to get more.
Diluted to 1053 from 1058. Made an extra 3.5 gallons or so
Efficiency was close to 90%.
New Vol = (OG x Vol)/targetSG
15.87 = (58 x 14.5)/53
Dry hopping at day 9
Carboy 1 - 1.5 hallertau, 2 cascade
Carboy 2 - 1.5 hallertau, 1.65 Centenial
Carboy 3 (small) - 1 hallertau, 1 mosaic

Can't seem to get an accurate reading with the ph meter. Arggg!

EdWort's Haus Pale Ale
This recipe was provided by Ed Wort from Bee Cave, Tx. Ed Wort is a moderator of homebrewtalk.
Wort describes this as "a beer that everyone likes. It's light, crisp, dry, and very tasty."
Original recipe has Nottingham dry yeast.
Pre boil sg: 1042
Boiling: 240 at 65% power.
Setting initially at 212. Then 213.
Boiling at 212.9-213.4 for 14.5 gallons.
At 70% it wants to boil over.
Post boil og: 1053
Took 2.5 h to do boil to carboy.
Tasted excellent on March 4th. So 2-3 weeks of lagering after kegging.
I still detect a bit of souring. Hmmm. No sweetness to this brew at all.

Did water adjustments.
Did this brew over 2 days.
Added grain with mash temp at 158. Took 20+ minutes to get back to temp.
Next time, need to have temp higher and adjust it down just after adding the grain.

Have 15.25 gals with a pre boil OG of 1044.
Pretty good. Not my favorite but people like it.
3 weeks later it is a really good beer. Nothing bad to say about this beer. Great beer.

To get the sour twang, add a drop of lactic acid to a pint and then pour your pint.
---
My notes:
Recipe called for Marris Otter but I was out so I subbed some bohemian Pilsner and some Melanoiden(biscuit). We shall see.
I used whole hops from 2011.
Also, I just ground up the toasted barley normally and added it to the mash at mash out.
1015 after 5 days.
I cold crashed 1 carboy after 6 days. Kegged at 7 days. Tastes great. Very much like Guinness. No twang but could play with the lactic acid to see.
Cold crashed another carboy at 7 days. Need to check fg to see.
-- tasting notes--
Turned out great! Maybe less roasted barley or special b next time. Would think this would be creamy with nitrogen and a stout faucet.
Mixed this with some of my honey ale (1/4-1/3 stout to honey), |
