</h3><h1>Hops
</h1>
3 <p>Hops are all added every five minutes for the time they are in.
</p>
5 <p>This is not ideal: the last
30 minutes should have Citra, but the LHBS was out, and the next-to-local brewshop owner decided that leaving
20 minutes early and depriving me of Citra would be fun. So, since this is being brewed under a deadline (Summer Solstice!), I innovated and used a bit of Sorachi Ace (
100% for
30/
25,
70% for
20 -
> 5) and more Cascade instead (
70% for
20 -
> 5).
</p>
8 <li>120g (~
4.2 oz) Chinook @
60min -
> 5 min
</li>
9 <li>134g Cascade @
20 min -
> 5 min + ~
2g @
5min (finish off the
2oz packet)
</li>
10 <li>41g Sorachi Ace @
30 min -
> 5 min +
0.05oz @
5 min
</li>
13 <h1>Changes from
4C
</h1>
15 <p>The most obvious: doubled to ten gallons! Hop balance is being kept the same since I think it's pretty spot on. I wasn't too keen on the extra Citra flavors at first, but over time it grew upon me. So, this time I'm changing the grain bill up a bit. A bit of
60L crystal has been dropped in favor on a small amount of Munich and Victory malts to achieve a similar color. Ideally, this will make the malt base a tiny bit more complicated and able to handle the hop load.
</p>
17 <p>Water ratios in the mash have been changed a bit in an attempt to get (roughly) equal sparges.
</p>
19 <p>Since I have two fermenters, this is going on to two yeasts. I chose Beligan Ardennes arbitrarily: the description made it sound like an English ale yeast with a Belgian phenolic bent... so, hopefully with (relatively) low fermentation temps it'll produce a bit of funkiness without tasting like highly hopped diesel fuel.
</p>
21 <h2>Water Chemistry
</h2>
23 <p>An attempt at improved water chemistry has taken place. We need to raise the mash pH very slightly since this is closer to amber than pale -- based on
5.75 gal of mash water, John Palmer's magic spreadsheet says I need to use ~
2g of chalk to get to around the correct RA. The Internet (and my own sense) says that modifying the sparge water is pointless -- the water is close enough that the pH will at worst go out of range for enzyme activity, but not into the danger zone for flavor problems.
</p>
25 <p>I swapped the Water Crystals for Epsom Salt and gypsum (basically out, and that's what it is anyway).
</p>
27 <p>For flavor modification, I assumed
11 gal of the base water profile +
28 ppm Ca from the mash chalk (according to Palmer's spreadsheet...). The previous water additions would have yielded (ppm):
</p>
30 <li>121 ppm Ca (slightly excessive)
</li>
31 <li>13 ppm Mg (good)
</li>
32 <li>53 ppm Na (acceptable)
</li>
33 <li>103 ppm Cl (somewhat excessive, but in balance with sulfate... some information implies this should be lowered)
</li>
34 <li>275 ppm sulfate (at the high end, probably OK due to high hopping level)
</li>
37 <p>It's pretty reasonable, but a bit unbalanced in a few respects. So, I tweaked things ever so slightly (although I'm more likely than not tweaking things within the margin of error):
</p>
40 <li>112 ppm Ca (still slightly excessive)
</li>
41 <li>13 ppm Mg (good)
</li>
42 <li>58 ppm Na (acceptable)
</li>
43 <li>87 ppm Cl (lowers the SO₄:Cl ratio, but the Internet says lots of Cl and lots of SO₄ is bad)
</li>
44 <li>285 ppm sulfate
</li>
47 <p>I might want to hit almost
300 ppm sulfate, but doing so would require adding way to much Mg or Ca to the water.
