Brewing an IPA for the Scott Mackenzie Homebrew Festival.

I’m either going to serve the 80/- I brewed today or an on deck Galaxy Blonde Ale (re-brew).

Tomorrow brewing 10 gal of Traquair House Ale clone (wee heavy), using locally grown and malted base malt - Palouse Pint English Pale Malt.  It is my 20th anniversary of home brewing.

Congratulations on 20 yrs! Traquair House Ale is a great choice for the celebration.

Thanks.  Weather allowed for me to brew it yesterday - too windy on Saturday.  While I was adding sparge water to my mash/lauter tun, I got distracted by a slight boilover of the separately boiled mash runnings (to make the syrup) I had on too high flame.  I know better but was moving as fast as possible, to hopefully be done by 6:30 pm due to another scheduled activity.  Anyway, having gotten distracted, I forgot to add the water treatment salts (gypsum, calcium chloride, canning salt) to my sparge, and ended up adding them instead to the kettle pre-boil - mostly to hit my calcium #.  Otherwise things went pretty darn well, and from the 17.25 gallons of collected runoff, I boiled it down to 11.5 gallons of wort, so almost 6 gallons boiled off including 2.25 gallons of first runnings boiled down to +1 quart of nice and thick syrup (of course re-added to the kettle).  It was also a learning experience as I had targeted ~76% efficiency to hit ~1.082 OG and ended up with 84% efficiency and 1.089 OG.  It should have enough nutrients, o2 and yeast to ferment well.  The 2 hot scotchies tasted great.

yeah it calcs out to 12.6SRM; as a reference,  I keep my pale under 7, and my Am Brown around 17, so it sits right in the middle.  I found when I try to make my amber darker it picks up too much roasted malt character whether from darker crystal or using midnight wheat or carafa as coloring malt.  My favorite amber is Red Seal and this grist (sans the special roast which is experimental on this run) gets me in the ball park.

10% Munich I
10% Eng Medium Crystal
5% Special Roast (trying this out/new addition to the grist)
75% 2 row

Thursday I'm  doing an Altbier. Pretty much the Zum Uerige clone. I will be told it is too bitter if I ever enter it.

Good.  Don't enter it and that's two more bottles for you!  Prost!
