Club Experiment Volunteers Needed

[Andrew Richardson]

Once again, the BHG will be brewing up a club experiment to serve at the Best of the Bay Awards Ceremony.  This year, we have decided to brew an American Pale Ale recipe where only the base malt is varied.  After a little deliberation, the recipe is...

American Pale Ale (5.5 gallons):

95% ??? base malt

5% 40L crystal malt

1.5 oz Cascades (60 min)

1 oz Cascades (10 min)

1 oz Cascades (2 min)

Wyeast 1056 American Ale Yeast

OG 1.050, 35 IBU, 4.9%ABV, color will vary depending on your choice of base malt

Please feel free to scale the recipe up or down to fit your system, but if you volunteer to brew it, please make sure you have at least 2 gallons (preferably kegged) ready to serve at the awards ceremony on Sunday, August 2.  If you would like to participate, but are unable to attend the ceremony, don't let that stop you.  I'm sure we can find someone to take your beer to the event.

I have about four pounds of homegrown Cascades left over from last year's harvest, so anyone that commits to brewing one of these beers for the event is welcome to have as much as they need for this batch.  Just let me know, and I will figure out a convenient way to get them to you.

So far we have commitments from myself and Craig.  If you would like to help us out, feel free to claim any of the unclaimed malts below (or add a new one) by using "reply all" and typing your name next to it.

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks!

[Neal Tognazzini]

I'll volunteer for Maris Otter. And I'll also hit you up for your homegrown Cascades. I don't keg yet, though, so mine'll have to come in the form of 20ish bottles.

Maris Otter: Neal

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks!

Neil, hit me up when your brew is done. i might have an extra keg at that time. i dont think i'll have time to brew one of these pales, but should have a 3 or 5 gallon keg i can get all charged up and ready to serve if need be.

[Jenn Tadder]

I'll do pilsner malt. If i have a keg free it'll be kegged if not it'll be in bottles. Are we going as far as doing the same water? -Jenn

[Shawn Sharrow]

I can brew up a Copeland version. I have plenty of Cascades in my freezer and it would be easier for me to use those, but if you want uniformity with the hops I can use the home grown ones. I'd need enough for a 10 gallon batch though...

Great!  So far we've got...

To answer a few of the questions that have come up.  While it would be great to try to be as scientific as possible by all sourcing the same water, Cascades, etc, I don't want to make this terribly inconvenient for anyone.  I'd say it's fine to use your regular water supply, and whatever Cascades you can get ahold of.  That being said, I have lots of Cascades here so I'd be happy to supply them for free, even for 10 gallon batches.  If most of you are planning on buying your other ingredients at North Corner, I can check with Robert to see if he will store some of my hops at the shop.  If so, you could just pick them up while you're there.

[Bill Arthurs]

I'll throw in the possibility that I'll have a keg available - let me know if one is needed. To control the packaging variable it would be best if we could avoid bottling any of these.

[Darren Clark]

I'll handle Pale, resulting in:

Returning to the original subject of the recipe.  I noticed that mash temp isn't listed.  I was thinking 150F.  Sound good?

Here's the latest list of experimenters:

That sounds great!  One hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit it is.

If you leave enough for a 10 gallon batch with Robert I can pick them up next week!

-Shawn

[Joe Postma]

Add Vienna to the list and sign me up for that.

[Neal]

I'll take enough Cascades for a 5.5 gallon batch. Thanks!

Neal

[Robert Northcorner]

Regarding the Single Malt Experiment:

Add 4 gals each:

German Wheat

Domestic Wheat

Also Craig would you coordinate a pick time for B-O-B goods, will need to reclain my cooler space ASAP....(shop:714-1186)

Thanks

Robert,

I should be able to pick up the entries today.  I'll swing by Elizabeth Station to pick them up.  If somebody could tell me where we're storing/sorting them before the competition, that would be great, otherwise they're coming home to my garage to get warm.
