Session IPA
31 Mar 2020This article will take 1 minute to read.
Today I brewed a session IPA. This brew tested my new Brewferm Grain Gorilla malts mill, it was brewed in Sliven, so I had all my equipment at my disposal. The original idea for this beer was that it should be an IPA. It seems that my malts mill settings were suboptimal, so the efficiency was low. The recipe is similiar to the first recipe that I brewed using the Brewster. Modified a bit due to issues with the hop scale.
Recipe for 19 liters batch:
- 30 liters of tap water without modifications (mashing with 19 liters)
- 5 kg Pale Ale Viking malt, bought from napravisibira.com, milled yesterday
- 75 g Citra Hops with 12.7% Alpha acids, boil for 15 minutes, bought from true.beer
- 100 g Citra Hops for dry hopping for 3 days
- Mashing for 60 minutes at 67°C
- Sparging with 5 liters of water at 75-80°C

- 1/2 tablet of Protofloc, boil for 10 minutes
- Measured 1041 OG, using Tilt hydrometer, monitoring the fermentation on my iPhone
