This year's International Homebrew Project returns to the Truman Brewery, but this time to their London location, to brew their Double Stout recipe from 1860.
The grain bill is is fairly simple:
- 81% Pale 2 row malt
- 16% Brown malt
- 3% Black malt
- 52 IBU for 90 minutes
- 49 IBU for 60 minutes
- 29 IBU for 30 minutes
Strike temperatures for the single infusion mash is at 164°F and sparge at 175°F. The boil is 90 minutes.
You should be targetting the following stats:
- OG - 1.079/19° Plato
- FG - 1.025/6.3° Plato
- ABV - 7.1%
- SRM - 28
The schedule for the project this year is:
- Brewday - Weekend of February 14/15th
- Writing - Monday March 23rd
I've never mashed that high before---curious to see how it affects my efficiency.
ReplyDeleteProposed brewday of Valentines day? Sure why not? It's a romantic couples brewday then.
ReplyDeleteBrewing now. I'm marginally low on brown and black, 14.9% and 2.9% respectively. Shouldn't make much difference. I don't have enough goldings either so replacing the 90 minute and 60 minute with Pilgrim which is as close as I can get from my hop freezer.
ReplyDeleteI also don't have either yeast but Nottingham or S04 should work.
