Brewday #5
2009.01.08
Modified DIPA recipe from Maltose Falcons California Homebrew Club Site
http://www.maltosefalcons.com/recipes/20070301.php

-OG 1.082 @ 70^ (we are guessing @ 60^ we would end up with about 1.086-1.088 based on the fact that we had witnessed a .004 change in 10^ difference from 80^ --> 70^)
-Water heating at 4pm and ended session @ 11pm w/ cleanup
-Modified Recipe to fit mashtun
-Sparged approx. 10 gal, ended up with about 8 wert after boil.
-Remember to use strainer when using keg as a boil pot and using pellet hops (they keep clogging the out>spout)


16.2 lbs 2 Row Pale Malt
6.5lbs Marris Otter Malt
2.0 lbs Munich Malt
2.0 lbs Cane Sugar
1.5 lbs Crystal 55L
1.0 lbs Wheat Malt
.75 lbs Crystal 150L
27.95lb total in to Mashtun

In regareds to sugar addition:
(2lbs sugar in to boil kettle, next time wait for boil to prevent burning to bottom of kettle. However, burning did not occur.)


Hops (reduced 20% for recipe due to reducing Base malt 20% for max. volume allowance in Mash Tun)

90 min 1.2 oz. Cacade Whole 5.75%
61 min 0.8 oz. Chinook Whole 13% 1 91
60 min 1.8 oz. Warrior (Used Magnum, Warrior wasn't available) Pellet 15.65%
1 min 0.8 oz. Amarillo Pellet 10%
Dry Hop 2.0 oz. Amarillo Pellet 10%


Modified boil time from 130 min to 90 min.

I think that we would top out Mash Tun Volume @ 30lbs of Grain on a Hot day, and 25lbs in the cold of winter. Changes in grain temp and heat transfer as well as to prevent water addition from being too hot to put a halt to sugar conversion (170^).
