Hi All,
After changing a recipe on brewday after I discovered I didn't have the hops (grrr!) I modded my recipe but instead of adding 30g at 50 min I added 10g This was my second BIAB so take it easy on me!
Recipe: Chinook IPA ( http://brewerschoice.com.au/chinook-ipa-recipe/ )
Maris Otter Ale 5.1kg
75 min mash, 66c, mashing out at 78c
chinook 10@50
chinook 15@10
chinook 15@0
I also had a large water volume loss after the boil. started with around 33, ended with 20 @ 1.060, dropped some wort, added some boiled water to bring it down to 1.052. I stirred during the sparge and had a very rapid boil with the lid on, which may explain the high gravity. After day 6 it's down to 1.013 - I raised the FV to 20c this morning, I wanted 19c however.
So, using ianh's BIAB designer and retrofitting the numbers, I ended up with an IBU of around 20. To get up IBUs up to the 140 mark should I:
1. make some hop tea (around 34 grams of chinook should do it - see attachment for calc)
2. get some isohops and adjust it
Suggestions appreciated...and I promise to do better next time...
