Re: 160L IPA
You asked for it.....
All your Cascade additions look almost as if you were doing a 23 L batch
I'd cut the total crystal back to like 5% of total grist, also multiply your last 3 hop additions by 4 Oh and you really should harden the water up considerably with gypsum for an IPA. Do you have your water profile?
edit; also I'd increase the Munich to about 10% abd mash slightly warmer, 152 maybe

Re: 160L IPA
I don't have a profile, its on the hard side though. I'll think about the hops!

Re: 160L IPA
Any neighbours, local farms or other businesses may have had water testing done and share the results with you. Water chemistry is all important when brewing different style beers.
Do we have anyone here that can get water testing done for us? While I'm at it how about alcohol testing?

Re: 160L IPA
Best I can do for water testing is my conductivity meter. It will read Total Dissolved Solids, which is somewhat useful to know if the water is hard or soft.

Re: 160L IPA
Geez, I was tryin to go easy on him & then suggest once he gets used to the taste of hops, jump up the hopping and munich & maybe switch the 2row for british pale malt.NASH wrote:You asked for it.....

Re: 160L IPA
I actually hunted this info down for myself today... For those of us in northern NS we have to send water samples to NSAC to get a chemical analysis and it costs $53.35. I'm assuming there are easier places for those of you in HRM to get the chemical analysis done.NASH wrote:Do we have anyone here that can get water testing done for us?

For alcohol testing, send me a case of your latest brew and I'll give you my professional opinion as a beer drinker

Re: 160L IPA
I think the price is the same (for government testing). Add $30 if you want coliform/e. coli

Re: 160L IPA
Wortly might be able to do some alcohol testing. I'm working on a methodology too, but will only have infrequent access to the instrument. But the price will be right...

Alcohol testing for what?

Boozahol ABV testing on big beers or fortified brews where calculations might be otherwise skewedmr x wrote:Alcohol testing for what?

Re: 160L IPA
Nothing will accurately calculate when larger quantities of alcohol are in solution, the weights and viscosity are thrown off from the added alcohol content.
