Clone of Justin Rawleigh’s awardwinning APA. Changes from original recipe: batch size 22 liters (instead of19); 4,5 kg Pale ale malt (instead of 4,1); 0,5 kg Munich (instead of 0,4 kg); 20 l mash water (instead of 16); 25g Centennial (instead of 15g) and other changes according to notes below. 1. Mash in (20 liters of water) at 67 degrees C for 60 min. 2. Mash out at 76 C for 10 minutes (we forgot that in the virgin brew...) 3. Sparge slow with 12 liters of water at 78 C up to 29 liters of wort. 4. Boil for 45 min and add hops acc to recipe. Add 10g Irish Moss and 1/2 teaspoon yeast nutricient at 15 min. The whirlpool hops (0 min) are added at flameout, stirred, and allowed to steep for 10 minutes before chilling (original recipe 17 minutes steep). We used hop bags for the zero’s in virgin brew and didn’t do any whirlpool. 5. Chill to 40 C and start racking it over to sanitized vessel (keep chilling meanwhile doing this). 6. Measure OG (we only got OG 1053 in virgin brew, perhaps because we forgot the mash-out...) 7. When below 30 C (not lower than 20 C) - Pitch in the dry yeast, close lid and oxygenize by shaking/rotating vessel. (Original ”Imperial Yeast A24” is changed to Mangrove Jacks M44 in recipe). 8. Start fermentation and keep it at 20 C - 22 C until fermentation is complete (ca 9-12 days). 9. Add Mosaic & Simcoe dry hops 5 days before bottling. (Original recipe = dry hop after the fermentation has started). 10. Before bottling: Cold crasch in 2-8 C for 8 hrs (at least) or over night. On bottling day: 1. Make a hop-tea with 50g Simcoe in 1 liter of 85 C water and let it chill to at least 37 C. (Hop-tea is instead of Original recipe ”The final dry hop of Simcoe is added when fermentation is complete”). 2. Add hop-tea and sugar syrup in a new sanitized bucket before racking over the condition. (Syrup = 5g table sugar / liter wort). Be sure of not get to much oxygen in the condition when racking. 3. Bottle and store in 20 C for 2 weeks.
