(brewed 10/10)
The Boulder Woods Fighting Llamas tag finale is on November 14th, and since my Llama Brew was such an apparent hit last year, I figured I would give it another shot. I brewed an Ordinary Bitter for the occasion last year and decided to up the ante a bit to a Best Bitter this year... but with a twist.
The twist was minor - but it should be tasty. Instead of the traditional East Kent Goldings I went with all Cascade on this one. Courtesy of Ryan, the Cascades were of the 5.7% AA, whole leaf, variety. It should add a nice American touch to a typically British style beer.
Here is the recipe I rolled with:
 | |
| 8.5 lbs. | Maris Otter Pale info |
| .5 lbs. | Crystal Malt 60°L info |
| 1 oz. | Cascade (Whole, 5.7 %AA) boiled 60 min. info |
| .5 oz. | Cascade (Whole, 5.7 %AA) boiled 30 min. info |
| .5 oz. | Cascade (Whole, 5.7 %AA) boiled 1 min. info |
| Yeast : | Fermentis S-04 Safale S-04 info |
 |
| Mash Schedule * 153° F for 45 minutes * 170° F for 10 minutes |
I was not really planning on brewing this one today, but one thing lead to another and it was such a nice day, next thing I knew it was 2:30pm and I was on my deck heating my strike water. I came pretty darn close to nailing my OG, and wrapped things up my about 6pm. Good times.
