Brewing Notes |
|
Grains steeped at 150F for 15 minutes. 60 minute, ~3 gallon boil.
Candi sugar and brown sugar dissolved at beginning of boil.
All hops in pellet form. Flavor hops added with 15 minutes
remaining in boil. Aroma hops added with 5 minutes remaining in
boil. Dry hops added upon racking to the secondary fermenter
after 7-10 days in the primary fermenter. Bottled after 2 1/2 weeks in the
secondary. This beer turned out pretty good. As with most of the Austin
clone kits, it's nothing like the original (Old Peculiar), but there's a
spiciness to it that's very good. The brown sugar is also noticable.
This brew didn't age too well - it peaked at about 2 months and then
went downhill pretty quickly after that. We had to dump the last few
bottles of it out.
