Brew Day - April 8, 2010
3 Dog Harvest Ale
15 Gallons
This is my main recipe for now. In fact, it is my only recipe. I have been working on this style for two years now and I won't quit until I get it where I want it.
22 lbs. Canada Malt
1 kg. Munich Malt
1 kg. Carastan Malt
28 grams Chinook ( 11.4% AA ) MH
28 grams Chinook ( 11.4% AA ) 30 min.
28 grams Chinook ( 11.4% AA ) 10 min.
84 grams Chinook ( 11.4% AA ) 1 min.
60 grams Nottingham
O.G. - 1.052

SRM - 7.6
BU - 34.5
I was using just 30 grams of Nottingham in my 14 gallon conical and I thought I wasn't using enough. I went with 60 grams sprinkled on top. I am fermenting this around 64F - 66F. I still isn't warm enough for the frdige to come on very often. It is bubbling away at a steady pace, but no blow-off at the moment. My last brew was in carboys and it spewed all over the place. I filled the conical to the very top, but the domed lid holds a lot of trub. I have read that spewing krausen in a bucket using carboys is a good thing. I have yet to see this in my conical. I will know the difference in taste in about 3 weeks.
