4 Dog Brewery

Similar recipe as the last one with US-05 and a lb. of Carahell to use up all of it. This is basically a double brew day but the same volume if I used my old system once. Easier on the back. If it is cool out, I may do this in the laundry room if I can clean it first. Ingredients 12.50 lbs. Bohemian Pils 1 lb. Carahell 56.70 g Hallertauer - 3.6% AA at 60 min. 28.35 g Hallertauer - 3.6% AA at 20 min. US-05 Water Profile - Yellow Dry CA - 51 MG - 10 S04 - 105 CI - 44 PH - 5.3 O.G. - 1.051 F.G. - % - SRM - 4.5 BU - 27.5 Mash - 6 gallons - 1.78 qts/lb - Worked fine, but had to turn down the pump during the mash. Any where around 1.70 qts/lb is okay I have found.                                            FERMENTATION NOTES Next day - Nothing until supper time. Weird. Sunday - Going good. Monday - Same. Oct 2 - Same. Stay the course for as long as it tak...

I was going to use the conical, but I am not sure about the yeast. Not a lot of bubbles in the starter and when they were there, they went away quickly. It was 2 months old when I bought it, yes I am sick of that. May try some Escarpment yeast in the fall. Ingredients 13.00. Bohemian Pils 56.70 g Hallertauer - 3.6 % AA at 60 min. 28.35 g Hallertauer - 3.6% AA at 0 min. WLP833 Bock Lager Water Profile - Yellow Dry Doing a lot of reading and this water profile is not good for a Pilsner. If it tastes good, I will be shocked. The CA is too high with lager yeast. Should be in the low 20's. Too much sulphates too. CA - 51 - ( should be around 20 - 25 ) MG - 10 S04 - 105 - ( way too high, lower to 30 next time ) CI - 44 - ( again too high, 38 - 40 but I was close ) PH - 5.3 O.G. - 1.048 F.G. - % - SRM - 3.4 BU - 23.6 Mash - 5.5 gallons - 1.76 qts/lb - Worked fine, any where around 1.7                         ...

This is the beer I was going to make when the RoboBrew malfunctioned. All fixed up and ready to go. US-05 yeast won't be here on time, so I have to wait a day or so longer to brew. Ingredients 11 lbs. Bohemian Pils 1 lb. Carahell 15 g Chinook at 60 min. 65 g Chinook at 10 min. 56.70 g Chinook at 0 min. 28.35 g Chinook dry hop? ( Nope, out of stock ) US-05 O.G. - 1.045 F.G. - % - SRM - 4.2 BU - 40 Water Profile - Canadian Ale modified for my tastes. CA - 81 MG - 18 S04 - 200 CI - 51 PH - 5.3                                                 BREW DAY NOTES The bathroom fan worked great. The lower level of the robobrew was very warm compared to bloody hot the last time I used it. Will not brew without it. Next Day - Going good even though I used one sachet instead of two. Sprinkled                 ...

Happy Birthday Old Man, do not screw up today. I did not screw up, the RoboBrew did. Temp probe failed. Mashed but boiled in my old kettle. I got beer, but maybe not 5 gallons. This is an APA Session beer. Low gravity, high hop rate. Ingredients for 23 L 11 lbs. Bohemian Pils 1 lb. Carahell 15 g Chinook - 12.30% AA at 60 min. 65 g Chinook - 12.30% AA at 10 min. 56.70 g Chinook - 12.30% AA at 0 min. These hops were bought on Oct. 2017. No idea how old they are. Nottingham ( Will switch to another yeast soon ) Water Profile - Storey Steamer CA - 81 MG - 18 SODIUM - 4 S04 - 200 CI - 53 PH - 5.29 O.G. - 1.045 ( No idea ) F.G. - % - SRM - 4.2 BU - 40 Mash @ 154 F. ( Not even sure about the temp )                                                     FERMENTATION NOTES Next day - Going good the next morning. Good krausen in the afterno...
