Weivenfest Hazy IPA

Leave a comment

The final brew before the fest. Sticking with our usual grain recipe for hazies. We ran out of our domestic two row, so we’re using the Weyerman Bohemian Pilsner for the base.

Got the mash up to 149° after a false start at 145°. We heated the strike water to boiling and added about a quart to bring the mash up to 149°.

After a 60 minute rest, the gravity was 1.056.

Added a small amount of bittering hops before a 60 minute boil
Pre-boil gravity was 1.056
Added an ounce of each of these to the 170° hop stand for 15 minutes

Decanted about half of the yeast starter before adding to the wort
Looks hazy
Got pretty foamy during the transfer. Had to pause for about five minutes before adding the rest of the wort.
Hydrometer read a bit over 1.050, call it 1.052.
This one gave about 1.059

Kegging day

Added a bunch of hops after three days fermenting. Kegged after a week of fermenting. Gravity was only 1.020, and we’re aiming for 1.012, so hopefully it will finish up in the keg.
