A variant on the Sim Citra theme, since I didn’t have enough of a few things to do the usual recipe. Lots more Munich than normal, since I didn’t have enough pale malt. Bittered with Magnum, then equal parts of Citra and Sorachi Ace. It’ll be interesting to see how it works out…

Who am I kidding? I’m just going to keep working through the DIY Dog book, with the occasional batch of Sim Citra or a leftovers brew…

Forgot to take most of my measurements today, other than the OG, but who cares?

Forgot to write this post while brewing, so don’t have my notes for hardness and water treatment!
The grapefruitiness will come from some Cold Pressed Grapefruit Extract from The Malt Miller, rather than grapefruit peel as BrewDog suggest. That’s what I did last time and we really enjoyed the result (which is why I’m doing it again!). The entire 15ml bottle went in the 20 litre batch, post fermentation. If memory serves, I added it when I racked it into the keg, to minimise any aroma losses.

A special one to mark my 100th all-grain brew. Aimed at 10% and 100IBU – or thereabouts. Mainly hopped with Centennial (as seems appropriate!) with dashes of Magnum, Simcoe, Amarillo and Chinook for good measure. And I’ll decide on the dry-hops when I get there.

Comments:

Hardness 205ppm again, so in 31 litres of liquor we have 31ml CRS, 8.6g gypsum, 2.5g calcium chloride, 3g epsom, 0.8g salt.

2017-02-27: I gave it a week at 19C then a week at 21C, and it’s finished at 1.009 and tasting great. Dropped in dry-hops of 50g Centennial and 10g Nelson Sauvin, and plan to crash-cool on Friday in preparation for bottling.

Comments:

Hardness: 210ppm. Water treatment: 28ml CRS in 28 litres, with 8.1g Gyspum, 2.8g Epsom salts, 2.2g Calcium Chloride, 0.8g salt.

Felt like an odd brew today – barely any grains, barely any hops in the boil…

2016-10-02: Down to 1.012, which is still a bit above where I’d like it to be. It has only had a week, and it was a slow start for the yeast. Might bump the temperature slightly to encourage them to finish their work!

2016-10-16: Gave it another fortnight (was on holiday for a week of it!), with the week I was away at 21C and dry-hopped. Now down to 1.005, and tasting great. Cold-crashing to 4C now and will rack probably tomorrow.
