No pics this time, as the batch comes so closely on the heels of the last. You can imagine the excitement in your head. Today's recipe was straightforward:
6.6# Briess CBW Pilsen Light Unhopped Extract (2 cans)
1# Dry Malt Extract (DME) Light
1# Dark Belgian Rock Candy
1/2# Caravienne
1/2# Caramunich
1/2# Special B
3 oz Styrians hops
Wyeast Trappist High Gravity (WY3787)
Again, the grains until it boiled only this time with cold water sparging. Then, once the boil began, the extracts, candy sugar, and 1 oz hops. Hops again at 30 and again at 15 minutes.
This time I used a funnel with a filter to remove as much of the hops and left over grains as possible when I put the beer into the carboy. I also added 1/4 cup of yeast nutrient. We'll see what happens. By comparison, the SG is about 1.072. Interestingly, I'll be away this week while it's fermenting. . .which sound like famous last words before a disaster.
FYI 1/4 c yeast nutrient is more than enough.
