Grain
7 lbs Marris Otter Pale Malt
2 lbs Quick oat
1 lbs Caramalt wheat 45L
Hops
------
.5 oz Citra (60)
.5 oz Citra (15)
.5 oz Cascade (30)
.5 oz Cascade (5)
Yeast
-------
White Labs Dusseldorf WLP036
Other Adds
--------------
2 gallon bag of frozen mulberries pressed and strained
Brew Day - 5/23/2015
Berry Addition - 6/1/2015
~.5 gallon mulberry juice was added to primary
Also added 2 cups of sugar to primary (adds .75% ABV)
~35-40 IBU
SG: 1.037
FG: ??
After juice and sugar, calculated ABV should be around 4.5-5%
Notes:
SG not as high as we wanted. Partially because the grain should have been milled twice and also the oat should probably be cereal mashed because I think it is not adding the sugars I was hoping for in this batch.
We processed 2 bags of frozen mulberries (harvested 2014). Straining the mulberries while we heated and mashed them on the stove. Collected about 50oz of juice. We added about ⅔ of this juice to this beer on 6/1. This same day we used the other ⅓ of juice to make another melomel.
The plan was to do some dry hopping but that didn’t happen with this batch. Here are the original dry hop additions that were planned:
1 oz Cascade (dry hop)
2 oz Orange zest (dry hop)
Handful of mulberries (dry hop)
*Dry hop ingredients sanitized in high ABV red wine (one cup?)
