<\/a>Boiling the wort.(Click for more moblog<\/a> photos…)<\/center><\/p>\n
Here’s the beer today, which I’m going to call Simcoak. Well, I’ll call it that if it actually comes out…<\/p>\n
Wyeast 1056 – American Ale (Yeast)<\/p>\n
2 lbs. Carapils Vienna
\n2.2 lbs. Muntons Extra Light LME
\n4 lbs. Muntons Extra Light DME
\n3 oz. Simcoe Hops (13.4% Alpha Acid)<\/p>\n
3 quarts of water at 165\u00b0F Strike temperature, aiming for mashing temperature of 152\u00b0F. Mash for one hour.<\/p>\n
Sparge with 4 quarts of water at 180\u00b0F.<\/p>\n
Boil for one hour.<\/p>\n
Hops at 60 minutes, 30 minutes, and 5 minutes remaining in boil, one ounce per addition.<\/p>\n
1 tsp. Irish Moss (seaweed) at 15 minutes remaining in boil.<\/p>\n
2 1\/2 tsp. Yeast Energizer and 5 tsp. Yeast Nutrient at start of boil.<\/p>\n
Original Gravity (OG) of 1.060.<\/p>\n
Put to ferment at 15:10 EDT.<\/p>\n
Once the beer is in ‘secondary fermentation’ (aka aging) I’m planning on adding a quantity of toasted oak which has been soaked in George Dickle bourbon for a while. Hopefully this will make it nicely oak-y, to go along with the extreme hoppyness. Alcohol should be mild, maybe 6% or so. Maybe this will make a nice summer-time after dark beer…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
