June club competition

[Bellingham Homebrewers Guild]

The theme for the BHG June club competition will be a clone of Aslan's Batch 15! If you were at the club meeting last Thursday, you heard Frank talk about the theory of the beer and the ingredients they used. He'll be posting those details on this thread if you missed the meeting or if your memory is a little fuzzy.

It's the perfect season to brew a hop-forward IPA, so buy a sixer of Batch 15 to calibrate your palate and start your recipe plan!

Hey All!

My apologies on the delayed response here!

As for the recipe, there will be things that would need to change from brew system to brew system. So Im going to give you percentages for malts and hops. When to use the hops, and target and final gravities. 

Malt Bill:

90% Pale Ale malt

5% White Wheat (malted)

5% Munich 1

(Attention should be paid to highest quality malt)

Hop Schedule:

Bravo for bittering - addition should result in 55 ibus

Chinook in 15-25 minute range - addition should result in 10 additional ibus

Citra in the whirlpool (pay close attention to the temperature of your whirlpool and the length of time) Hope at 1 oz per gallon

Simcoe for dry hopping. Dry hop at 1.5 oz per gallon. 

Mash:

Depends on your setup, but you want to end up with a very low final gravity. So mash in the mid to upper 140's.

Fermentation:

If you have control over temp, shoot for mid 60's and use a neutral top fermenting yeast. 

Dry hop once final gravity has been reached for 4 days. Rest on hops for 2 days, rack to conditioning and rest for 1 week or more. 

Target OG 1.062

Targert FG 1.008 - 1.010

Cheers!
