India Brown Ale #27

Matty liked some Dogfish Head India Brown Ale, so I made a clone.

Grains:
11# Pilsner
1# Flaked Maize
0.75# Amber Malt - used Crystal 20L
0.75# Crystal 60L
0.41# Coffee Malt
0.13# Roasted Barley
0.38# Brown Sugar (Carmelized in kettle prior to runoff.)

Hops:
1.0 oz Yakima Magnum - 60 min
1.2 oz EKG - 10 min

0.8 oz EKG - DH
0.8 oz Crystal - DH

Yeast:
White Labs 005 British Ale

Mash at 153F.

OG = 1077

Houblon #26

Man. Love me some Chouffe Houblon Double IPA Tripel. So does Ren. It's a Belgian tripel with an IPA malt backbone and extry hops. Mmmm.

So here's my take:

Grains:
6# Pale Malt (2-row)
6# Pilsener
1.5# Caramel 10L
1.5# Cane Sugar (in the last few min of boil)

Hops:
1.5 oz Glacier - 60 min
1.5 oz Glacier - 25 min
1.0 oz Saaz - 10 min
1.0 oz Centennial - DH

Yeast:
Fermentis Safale T-58

Mash at 149F

OG = 1066

Denny's Rye IPA #23, Update

I may have racked to secondary too early. Did so after only one week. Derr. My SG is only 1020, so I added a pack of US-05. We'll check it again in a week. (That was for me. I'm gonna wanna check it tonight, which is stupit.)

Cornhole Mulberry Blonde Ale #25

Just brewed up a Blonde Ale. Kinda hate the idea of one, but I think it's the style to add my backyard mulberries.

Cornhole Mulberry Blonde Ale #25
--------------------------------
6.33# 2-row
0.75# Cara-Pils Dextrine Malt
0.75# Wheat Malt

1.0 oz Saaz 3.6% AA - 60 min
1.0 oz Spalt 2.0% AA - 60 min

Yeast = US-05

Secondary with mulberries. How much? I don't know yet.

Kinda missed my volume and gravity, but whatevs. I wonder what it is. I did get my burner working better. Maybe more evaporation? Seems like I don't even get my pre-boil right. (That means my efficiency is too low. Need to account for that in my recipe preparation. Today was 66%.) So eff = 66%, evap rate = something. Need to calc.

Two AG Brews in one day
