American Pale Ale
Type: All Grain Date: 25 Mar 2017
Batch Size (fermenter): 11.00 gal Brewer: David Long
Boil Size: 14.00 gal Asst Brewer:
Boil Time: 60 min Equipment: Large Batch BIAB (20/10 Gal)
End of Boil Volume 12.50 gal Brewhouse Efficiency: 70.00 %
Final Bottling Volume: 10.66 gal Est Mash Efficiency 76.4 %
Fermentation: Ale, Two Stage Taste Rating(out of 50): 30.0
Taste Notes: Big hop aroma and flavor. Hop complexity is great from the combination of 7-c’s (citrus) and the tropical notes of the mosaic. There’s a sweetness in this beer which I believe is caused by the combination of the high level of Vienna malt and hop flavor (Glycolcides?). Bitterness is spot-on in my opinion.

Notes

Notes from 2nd batch:
Was going to add 4 lbs. of Vienna, but only had 2.8 lbs. in stock. Made up the difference with Pale Ale malt.



Notes from 1st batch:
Hop aroma and flavor may be a bit big for style. I think I’ll try increasing the Mosaic percentage a bit the dry hop, but overall reduce the amount of dry hop. May reduce the Vienna next go around.
