Brew Day - January 3, 2010
Krabby Patty
This is a tribute to my grandson who loves Sponge Bob Square Pants. He calls his burgers Krabby Patty just like the show. I have had great success in the past with this light ale, but not lately.
15 Gallons
20 lbs. Canada Malting Pale Malt
8 ounces Crystal ( 70L )
57 grams EKG hops
40 grams Nottingham
O.G. - 1.042
F.G. - 1.010
% - 4.2
SRM - 4.6
BU - 16.5
The basement is cool 62F. I let this ferment at that temp because I am using Nottingham and it is supposed have no problem fermenting at cool temps. I would of had to move the Conical in the beer room with the heater on using another kind of yeast. It fermented no problem and it got up to 66F a high krausen and stayed there for two days. No need to take a gravity reading until day 12, and that will be on Jan. 13-14. This turned out good. Very light and refreshing. The hops sure lost their bittering qualities. No problem since this is a brew I am trying to get down consistently to have around the pool. I plan on having lots of this brew this summer in kegs. I may have to bottle some using my CPBF because I think I will run out of kegs. Now, that is a good problem to have.
