4 Dog Brewery

Conical I am trying something different with the water salts in this brew. The previous 4 -5 were bland and tasteless and did taste " funny ". No idea why, but the salts were low but supposed to be according to the experts. Well, I guess I am on my own now. I was always low on hop bitterness and especially aroma. I raised the sulphate to 125, so there will be no excuse for lack of taste. Minerally? I hope not. Ingredients: 22 lbs. UCM 2 row 1 lb. Munich II - ( 9 L ) 1 lb. Light Carastan -  ( 15 L ) 4 ozs. Melanoidin - ( 30 L ) 40 g US-05 113 g Hallertauer - 3.8% AA @ 60 min. Water Profile - ( I made it ) CA - 72 S04 - 125 CI - 52 O.G. - 1.050 F.G. -  1.016 % -      4.5 SRM - 4.5 BU - 25                                                                  NOTES I always go...

Conical 11 lbs. UCM 2 row 10 lbs. UCM  liquid extract 1 lb. Carastan ( forgot to buy corn sugar ) 40 g Chinook 12 % AA @ 60 min. 60 g Chinook 12% AA @ 10 min. 56.70 g Chinook 12% AA @ 0 min. 113.4 g Chinook 12% AA dry hop ( 56.70 g in each keg ) 40 g US-05 ( maybe should of used 45 g? ) Mashed grains in pail for 60 min. 1.25 qts/lb. 3.75 gallons water Sparged with 4 gallons water. Used water salts in both. O.G. - 1.054 F.G. -  1.012 % -     5.5 SRM - 6.4 ( Definitely seems darker - 8 -9? ) BU - 37 I will definitely taste this after kegging and adjust the BU if needed. I am dialing in my balance between malt and hops. I am going to buy some other kinds of crystal malts to change it up a bit. Nothing drastic, maybe Crystal 15, honey and biscuit malt. Small amounts of course. Finally kegged this. Still bubbling a bit, but I am brewing in 2 days ( Oct 31 ) so keg it now. Way too much hop shit when I dry hop in the conical. Never again...
