Tilt hydrometer stout recipe

19 Mar 2020

This article will take 1 minute to read.

Here is a recipe for a stout that was brewed today. Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic quarantine my new brewing equipment is not available. Had to use the old equipment for this beer. It consists of:

• 40 liters Igloo Cooler mash tun
• 50 liters kettle
• 30 liters plastic fermenter

This was the first brew that used Tilt Hydrometer for gravity and temperature readings. It worked out of the box and without calibration. Matched the gravity measured using analogue hydrometer.

1. Water:
   • 30 liters tap water
   • Mash for 60 minutes
   • Sparge
   • Boil for 60 minutes
2. Grain bill:
   • 5.0 kg Chateau Pale Ale Malt
   • 1.0 kg Chateau Munich Malt
   • 0.3 kg Chateau Cafe Malt
   • 0.3 kg Chateau Chocolat Malt
   • 0.2 kg Oats, flaked
   • 0.05 kg Roasted Barley
3. Hops:
   • 20 g Summit, 20% alpha acids, boil for 60 minutes
   • 8.5 g Centennial, 9.7% alpha acids, boil for 40 minutes
4. Yeast:
   • SafAle US-05 yeast
5. Parameters:
   • Measured 1060 OG (both with Tilt and other hydrometer) (low efficiency, probably due to the cooler bag mashing or sub-optimally milled grains)
   • 1010 FG (hopefully)
   • 6.6 % ABV
