Brewing day! (for competition)


Total weight of malt bill is 400g. I was searching some helpful website to decide a proportions of each malts. Some special malts have lower enzyme power, their proportion needed to be limited. 

All about grains 101 : here
Briess Malt & Ingredient Company. : here

Vienna Malt as a base 240g
Caramel 90L for amber color and body 60g
Carapils for foam sustainability and body 60g
Munich 10L for color and malt profile 40g 

I choose 4 different kinds of hops, exciting!

Chinook for bittering 14g
Chinook again for taste 14g
Cascade for taste 7g
Cascade for aroma 21g
Amarillo for aroma 28g
Lastly, Chinook for aroma 28g (flame-out!)

Hope this ale to be dominated by Chinook character. 

Pilsen light DME was used to support sugars.
and pitched Mangrove Jack's CS M36 Liberty Bell Ale Yeast. (go yeast, go!)

Put hops into a hop bag... 

Looks lovely. If I can get a chance to visit a hop farm, I'll never miss it.
