WLP005

Post by slothrob »

Thanks for posting this. I need to try the combination of high % Crystal Malt, but low mash temp to see how I like it. I've never had much luck with more than 0.5# being anything but cloying after I've had a couple, but then I see all these high % recipes being posted by reputable brewers. Was the 145oF ->155oF step mash JZ's recommendation or your own idea?

Have you used WLP005? It's the Ringwood yeast, I believe. Watch out for that one. It can be quite tasty or rank with diacetyl. A long, warm finish to primary fermentation is probably a good idea.

The entire recipe and notes were taken during the show, verbatim from Matt B the head brewer at Firestone. You can check there website for a little more info on the beer.

That's the actual mash schedule they employ making this beer. I was more surprised by the late addition hops.

I've had good success in my own recipes (6gal batch) with approximately
5-6oz Crystal 120
8 oz Crystal 20
and a dash of belgian special B
Mashing around 153-4°F
