California Common Recipe - Billiwhack

{"RecipeId":344,"RecipeTypeId":10,"OriginalRecipeId":null,"UnitType":"s","IbuFormula":"b","CreatedBy":100216,"Name":"Billiwhack","Description":"• 1st Place Amber Hybrid at the 2013 St. Louis Happy Holidays Homebrew Competition\r\n• 1st Place Amber Hybrid at the 2013 Babble Brew-Off Competition\r\n• 1st Place Amber Hybrid at the 2013 Kansas City Bier Meisters Competition\r\n• 2nd Place Amber Hybrid at the 2013 Midwinter Homebrew Competition \r\n\r\nI like lagers and I don\u0027t have the set up for lagering so I decided to do a hybrid. I brewed this during the winter months so my basement was in the lower sixties which I think was perfect for the yeast. The result was a really smooth, medium bodied beer that finishes crystal clear. \r\n\r\nI recommend doubling the yeast. I did a 1.6L starter with one packet on a stir plate in addition to a newer packet without a starter. \r\n\r\nI entered the first version of the recipe in a few competition and it didn\u0027t win but it got great reviews. For the winning version I increased the hops and used only whole hops. Dry hopping with fresh whole hops gave it the punch of aroma it needed.\r\n\r\nThe reports of the Blliwhack monster date back as far as 1950. It has been primarily known to attack teenagers and small children who make the mistake of trespassing on it\u0027s claimed territory located on the property of the old Billywhack Dairy located in Santa Paula, California.","ImageUrlRoot":"/img/r/2c/2c1ac514-d0fa-4fcc-927f-649bcb968c42","StyleId":"19B","StyleName":"California Common ","BatchSize":5,"BoilSize":7,"BoilTime":60,"Efficiency":0.72,"DateCreated":"\/Date(1360247697713)\/","BrewSessionCount":0,"MostRecentBrewSession":null,"Og":1.047808,"Fg":1.0143424,"Srm":14.2,"Ibu":50.29217424,"BgGu":1.0519614759036129,"Abv":4.3170623999999993,"Calories":159,"AverageRating":0,"TastingNoteCount":0,"Fermentables":[{"Per":"9","Amt":"0.875","Ppg":"37","L":"9","Use":"Mash","Id":"1336","IngId":"20","Name":"Munich - UK","CustomName":"","Rank":"1"},{"Per":"6","Amt":"0.5625","Ppg":"34","L":"60","Use":"Mash","Id":"1337","IngId":"127","Name":"Briess Caramel 60L","CustomName":"","Rank":"2"},{"Per":"6","Amt":"0.5625","Ppg":"34","L":"80","Use":"Mash","Id":"1338","IngId":"144","Name":"Briess Caramel 80L","CustomName":"","Rank":"3"},{"Per":"6","Amt":"0.5625","Ppg":"34","L":"28","Use":"Mash","Id":"1339","IngId":"35","Name":"Victory Malt - US","CustomName":"","Rank":"4"},{"Per":"74","Amt":"7.125","Ppg":"34","L":"4","Use":"Mash","Id":"1349","IngId":"158","Name":"Pale Malt","CustomName":"","Rank":"5"}],"Hops":[{"Amt":"1","Type":"Leaf","Use":"Boil","Min":"60","Day":"0","AA":"9","Ibu":"35.9","Id":"1069","IngId":"23","Name":"Northern Brewer ","CustomName":"","Rank":"1"},{"Amt":"0.5","Type":"Leaf","Use":"Boil","Min":"20","Day":"0","AA":"9","Ibu":"10.9","Id":"1070","IngId":"23","Name":"Northern Brewer ","CustomName":"","Rank":"2"},{"Amt":"0.5","Type":"Leaf","Use":"Boil","Min":"5","Day":"0","AA":"9","Ibu":"3.6","Id":"1071","IngId":"23","Name":"Northern Brewer ","CustomName":"","Rank":"3"},{"Amt":"0.25","Type":"Leaf","Use":"FlameOut","Min":"0","Day":"0","AA":"9","Ibu":"0","Id":"1072","IngId":"23","Name":"Northern Brewer ","CustomName":"","Rank":"4"},{"Amt":"1","Type":"Leaf","Use":"DryHop","Min":"0","Day":"10","AA":"9","Ibu":"0","Id":"1073","IngId":"23","Name":"Northern Brewer ","CustomName":"","Rank":"5"}],"Yeasts":[{"Atten":"0.7","Id":"338","IngId":"216","Name":"Wyeast California Lager 2112","CustomName":"","Rank":"1"},{"Atten":"0.7","Id":"339","IngId":"216","Name":"Wyeast California Lager 2112","CustomName":"","Rank":"2"}],"Others":[{"Amt":"1","Unit":"each","Use":"Boil","Id":"259","IngId":"78","Name":"Whirfloc Tablet","CustomName":"","Rank":"1"}],"MashSteps":[],"Steps":[{"Id":"489","Rank":"1","Text":"Mash at 152F for 60 Minutes"},{"Id":"490","Rank":"2","Text":"Batch sparge with 2 steps of 168.0F water"},{"Id":"491","Rank":"3","Text":"Primary for 2-3 weeks at 60-65F"},{"Id":"492","Rank":"4","Text":"Secondary Dry Hop for 7-10 days at 55-60F"},{"Id":"493","Rank":"5","Text":"Force carb for 2 weeks at 12 psi"},{"Id":"494","Rank":"6","Text":"Drink it."}]}
