Waimea APA
« on: September 07, 2015, 10:53:50 am »
I finally got around to brewing this one on Friday night.

6 gallon batch:

11 lbs. 2-row
8 oz. Caramunich II

1 oz. Waimea (17.4% AA) - 60 min.
.5 oz Waimea and .5 oz. Columbus - 10 min.
.5 oz Waimea and .3 oz (all I had left) Columbus - 5 min.
1 oz. Waimea - 0 min.

One packet S-04 (rehydrated), currently fermenting at 67 degrees

OG: 1.055
IBU as projected by Beersmith: 52

Mashed at 152 for one hour; mash pH between 5.3 and 5.4 (I didn't feel like breaking out the meter); all distilled water with minerals to 150 ppm sulfate and 30 ppm chloride

I just tapped the keg this afternoon, and I'm really liking it. 

It has a light and bright citrus flavor that kind of reminds me of Five Alive (maybe tangerine with some lemon/lime?).  There's also something else going on that I can't really put my finger on, maybe a slight earthiness, but that could be from the Columbus.  They seem to pair together pretty well.

I'll probably re-brew this one again sometime.
