| A very full boil |
Ingredients:
Grain: Targeted OG/FG/ABV 1.064/1.023/6.7
25lbs 2-row
4lbs Cyrstal 15
3lbs Munich
Hops: IBU-66
2.5 oz Summit @60 (I really did 2 oz Summit and a half oz of Nugget)
2 oz Amarillo @30
2 oz Crystal @2
Yeast:
Wyeast London ESB 1968, a 32 oz starter made a day prior
Water:
12 Gallons strike @ 170
Collected around 6 gallons
5.7 Gallons of (double batch) sparge @ 185
Collected around 5.3 or 5.4 gallons
Extras:
Wirflock @2
Yeast Nutrient @2
Notes:
2-26-2011--Forgot to do a pre-boil gravity. There was a LOT of wort. I almost filled the keggle. Post boil gravity was 1.062. Ninkasi's website has the Total Domination OG at 1.064 so I'd say i'm off to a good start. To hit the correct ABV I need this to get down to 1.012, so we'll see.
3-1-2011-Gravity down to 1.020.
3-6-2011--Both batches gravities are still at 1.020, I think it's fermented out. I must have the grain bill wrong if Ninkasi gets theirs to under 1.015. I bottled Erik and Jeremy's 5 gallons and I kegged mine. Since I adjusted the batch to be 11 gallons instead of 10, I ended up with a couple growlers full as well. I put three teaspoons of priming sugar and will try to condition in the growler.
4-3-2011--A good beer. I think Erik and Jeremy like it more than I do. It's kind of sweet with a small, small amount of bitterness. Emilie really likes it. I have a hard time calling it a IPA, but who cares about the stupid style descriptions anyways?

That's a lot of limbs...
ReplyDeleteI'm going to come over and start pilfering this one growler at a time until opening day comes and it's empty. hahahahahahahahha
ReplyDeleteI got an FG of 1.020 as well. The 1968 strain doesn't attenuate that low. The beer is very clear though!
ReplyDeleteHere is what I went with:

You might try adding CaraHell instead of the Crystal 15.
They don't use any crystal in the Total Domination, they were just ona brewing network podcast and said so. I am going to listen to it again and see if I can come up with a decent clone.
