| Mash: | 80% efficiency | |||||||
| 148F for 60 min. | ||||||||
| Boil: | 75 minutes | SG 1.053 | 6.5 gallons | |||||
| 8 oz. Belgian dark syrup - D2 3 oz. Cane sugar |
||||||||
| Supermoss @ 15 | ||||||||
| Hops: | 1 oz. Hallertauer (4.1% AA, 60 min.) 0.5 oz. Hallertauer (4.1% AA, 20 min.) |
|||||||
| Yeast: | WY1388 - 3rd generation | |||||||
| Log: | Primary for 18 days. 1st 2 at 64F and then slowly ramped to 78F for remainder. Racked to secondary for 30 days. | |||||||
| Carbonation: | 2.5 oz. priming sugar to keg. | |||||||
| Tasting: | @ rack, still a little alcohol hotness & ethyl esters. Malt flavors are surprisingly subdued. Belgian character from yeast also low. After a month in the keg, hotness is gone. Malt rum-raisin character still not where I would like it - I would double the Special B next time. Nice esters, a little spice and a tad of tartness from yeast makes it an interesting brew. |
