Hi everyone
Using Ian's spreadsheet of Awesomeness I've come up with this recipe for a Wee Heavy Scotch Ale that I'm calling Northern Savage...
It's not yet been made because I don't quite have all the equipment I need yet. I.e. a fermenting fridge... Hopefully I'll get one over the Anzac day weekend
Any feedback, suggestions or comments would be very welcome because to be perfectly honest, I don't have a clue how it'll turn out.
Northern Savage
Briess Sparkling Amber (EBC 19.7) x 1.5kg
Briess Golden Light (EBC 7.9) x 1.5kg
Light Dry Malt x 3.23kg
Treacle x 0.5kg
Hops
Goldings x 45g @ 60 mins
Goldings x 15g @ 5 mins
23L in the fermenter
Reduce to 14 celcius
OG expected to be 1.100
According to Mr Malty, pitch 23g of nicely hydrated Wyeast 1728 once at 14c. Need to get to that temp to avoid esters. They don't belong in Northern Savage. Those pesky esters! :angry:
Slowly ferment till it's done.
FG expected to be 1027 giving about 9.7% Alc/vol
I'm then considering bulk priming with 94g of dextrose to get the right carbonation in the bottle.
So... What do you think?
