Meat Popsicle
Hey y'all.
I didn't want to hijack Tahoose's thread so i thought i'd do a separate one.
Basically i wanted to have a crack at something between a typical saison and a blonde or pale ale - kinda like a saison but more malty while keeping the alc% ~5.5% or lower.
I started by looking at a few Leffe Blonde clones, then tweaked them a little:
---------
OG=0.045
FG=0.006
alc=5.4%
IBU=19.2
EBC=12.7
3kg Boh Plis (61%)
1kg Vienna (20%)
0.5kg Munich II (10%)
0.15kg Victory (3%)
0.1kg Melanoiden (2%)
0.05kg Amber (1%)
0.1kg Acidulated (2%)
2g CaSO4 + 2g CaCl + 1g MgSO4 into Mash
0.8g CaSO4 + 1.3g CaCl + 0.5g MgSO4 into Sparge
0.5g CaSO4 + 1g CaCl + 0.5g MgSO4 into Boil
24L Mash & 10L Sparge
55/65/72/78 for 5/60/20/2
Boil for 80mins
15g Horizon @ 20min
10g Hall Mitt @ 20min
14g Select @ 20min
5g Horizon @ 5min
5g Horizon @ 0min
Mangrove Jack M27 @ 23°C for 3 days, then ramp to 27°C
--------
The grain combo is intended to be a little complex for added depth, with a touch of Amber malt to bring a tiny hint of toastiness. Otherwise the honey elements of the BohPils should be dominant, with a gradual slide into more malty territory.
The hops are focused around the delicate spicy noble elements of the HM & Select, with Horizon adding a slightly floral and citrusy element (i'm trying to save my EKG for another brew). All have low cohumulone to hopefully ensure smooth bittering (i've noticed a slight harsher edge to some recent brews i'm hoping to avoid). That's also why i've kept the IBUs a little low.
-------------
Any feedback/thoughts on this would be appreciated. Otherwise i'm happy to just give it a crack and see what happens. I've also not used the M27, so i'm keen to see how similar it is to Belle Saison.
Edit - changed Munich I to Munich II
