An attempted clone of "Old Crafty Hen" "Green King" without the 5X addition but with 20g of Oak Chips at 10 mins boil, and with maybe 10g of raisins. Recipe in progress. Using "Archer Hops" not Cascade. But they are a relative of Cascade. They are not yet on the Hop Menu, as they are a "New Hop" variety from "Charles Faram" Malvern West Worcestershire UK. Find them on the internet. Strike volume 18.5L at 68 C. Sparge volume 14L at 72 C for my system. Mash at 64 C for 30 mins, 68 C for 20 mins mash out at 75 C, Boil for circa 60 mins. Rapid cool. I use Protofloc tablets not Irish Moss at 30 mins boil. 31/10/20 ready to keg. Tasty malty and not too hoppy before Conditioning. I put an extra litre of water in wort to get 1.064. Gravity OG 1.064 FG 1.015 6.6 ABV. Forced Carbonated. Tasty. Will definitely do again. The oak chips and raisins came through without being too much.
