With the efficiency that low what is the gravity of the last of your batch sparge run off?
If you hitting your temps etc with the mash for 60min surely you must be getting conversion but have you tryed the iodine test at the end of the mash?
Honestly, I have not done the iodine test.
If it were not so expensive, I would probably just go the route some people go, and not rinse the grains at all. However, since every bit of money adds up, I would like to get my efficiency up to around 75%, and have there on a steady basis, for predictability and costs.
That recipe looks to be closer to a Schwarzbier rather than a Brown Porter to me, at least from a BJCP perspective.
It does look like quite a nice beer though. If you used both hops (1g/L each) at 10, 1 and maybe even a small dry hop you might end up with bookbinder style hopping or may even something from the "Sharp" series ;-) Sound like a nice late winter quaffer. I say go for it.
OK Mr Cherry, Sharpie-Darkie it is after I look back at the notes of your B-Sharp and my attempts at a similar recipe too
I've still got a good whack of 60 minute and I've gone with 20 10 & 1 with 50/50 Goldings/Motueka
Progressive additions of 0.5 0.75 and 1gm/L
That's true Mr Cherry and the answer is to increase the hopping rates so that you're not left with some namby-pamby malt tonic.
Currently looking at 1.033 and 46IBU and the previous Darkie was 1.032 and 60IBU
Hey fellas,
I wanna brew a proper blonde grapefruit bomb. I.e. drinking, you can't stop thinking, "gaddam, that beer smells like grapefruit!"
I had a bit of a trawl around and it looks like NZ Cascade is the culprit? Any of you dudes know any better?
I'll probably just use golden promise, mashed high, and 1272 - so yeah real blonde. Any advice would be appreciated.
FRESH LIQUID YEAST!!!
