Had an idea for a double batch brew I wanted to swing by you guys:
Some background – I'm looking to brew 2 batches before Xmas, an easy drinking APA for family and friends and a Strawberry beer for my lady who’s dropping a bub in the next couple of weeks and is dying for a beer!
I normally do 20-23L batches but I have a 50L and a 19L pot + two 30L fermenters so I was thinking of doing a 2 pot cook using the same ingredients to do a total 50L boil
Here’s what I’m thinking:
Splitting everything 70 / 30 (35L in the 50L pot and 15L in the 19L pot)
TOTAL Grain bill:
GRAINS Wt in Kg Split in Kg
Ale Malt 4.00 2.8 / 1.2
Wheat Malt 4.00 2.8 / 1.2
Crystal Pale 100 0.40 0.28 / 0.12
TOTAL Hop schedule:
HOPS Wt in g %AA BOIL min IBU Split in g
Chinook 20 12.0 60 13.93 14 / 6
Chinook 20 12.0 20 8.36 14 / 6
Cascade 40 7.8 20 10.86 28 / 12
Chinook 20 12.0 10 4.99 14 / 6
Cascade 20 7.8 10 3.24 14 / 6
Chinook 40 12.0 0 0.00 28 / 12
Cascade 40 7.8 0 0.00 28 / 12
From there I’ll No-Chill one 25L batch (Batch A) overnight (never done this but don’t have enough space to chill 2 batches) and chill the other wort batch - Batch B, in the tub with ice.
Once Batch B is at pitching temp, pitch S-05 and job done ferment at 20deg for 3 weeks before bottling
Next day pitch S-05 in Batch A and ferment at 20deg for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks pack secondary with 1.5Kg chopped strawberries and rack Batch A. Let it sit in secondary for another 2 weeks before bottling
I'm pretty sure there was an easier way of explaining this but I'm too thick to see it.
