Morning All
Took yesterday off and decided to do some brewing to use up some chinook hop flowers?Bines? i got off the from someone in the forum and to use up so malt before i move house again along with some Galaxy that was getting a bit old
I have a few different bits of equipment and tbh think I need to get my 2V setup going again (50L boiler and 76L esky(need to fit my manifold and valves etc again))
So right now I am using a 32L turbo boiler (2200W) along with a BIAB, Have done 1 smash in this and my mate who has it in his garage has probably put 3 beers down with another one yesterday
I have insulated it with Abelflex from bunnings
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ormonoid-abelflex-10mm-x-100mm-x-6m-expansion-joint-filler_p1060075
Will need to rethink the insulation as it dropped about 10C in 90mins, also it struggles to keep a rolling boil going with the lid on
Anyway decided to brew the below, managed to get a whole 58% of efficiency (Started with 20L of water due to head space but should have gone with 25L)
Recipe is for 23L and I no chill Its about 65IBU and 98IBU with no chill based on Brewers friend and Beersmith any critic would be great as learning's for next time, pretty sure I maxed out what my BIAB setup can do and should have split the recipe
All crushed fine via a corna mill as I havent got my MM mini and motor setup atm
Strike water at 72.5C
Mashed at 66.7C for 90mins with a mash out of 75.6C as I was aiming for a medium body and I did sparge and multiple milking of my biab bag to get liquid for the boil, 18L at the end with temp correct gravity of 1.082 watered it down to temp corrected 1.068
Target SG 1.068 Target FG 1.015 ABV 7.05%
Yeast
US05
Malt
5kg Pilsner malt (Joe White)
1.7kg Traditional golden ale malt (Joe White)
0.8KG Rye
0.5kg Caramunich 3
Hops
Chinook flowers (Home grown) 40g 60mins
Chinook flowers (Home grown) 20g 20mins
Galaxy pallets 20g 5mins
Chinook Flowers (Home grown) 20g 0mins
Galaxy pallets 19g 0mins
4Days primary and 10days secondary, I will add some Gelatine in secondary to clear it up and am considering dry hopping with another 20-40g of Chinook flowers (Home grown
The hops are all from 2014-2015 and have been in and out of my freezer so may have lost some potency, my rolling boil pretty much died when I added my first hop addition and never really got going again (2200W is a joke may need to look into an immersion heater for it)
Has a great colour and when I took a sample for the SG reading it had hop oil floating in it, you can taste the hops comming through so hoping it ferments out well
Biggest beer I have done in awhile
Still wanting to get a Braumeister or a smaller Mash tun for 2V
Will add tasting comments once its ready
Any feedback or thoughts welcome
Cheers
