[nzbrewer]

Since this is the most popular thread on the RealBeer.co.nz forum I thought I would start it here just to see what happens

[Kelly Ryan]

I have tried that one of yours Nate. It seemed like a good interpretation of the original.

[Jamie Stuart]

Will def give it a crack and send you a bottle.

Keen as for this, great idea.

Hi all,

Here is the Mash Up recipe modified for a 20 litre batch. Let me know if any questions/queries. Cheers!

 

Mash Up - 20 litre
 
Based on 80% Brewhouse Efficiency and 20 litres final volume.

Approximately 10% evaporation in the boil. Kettle up volume of 22 litres.

OG - 1.058
FG - 1.012
AbV - 6.0%

Salt addition - 3 g CaCl2 to mashing water.

Liquor:Grist ratio - 2.6:1 (13 litres)

Grain bill - 3.35 kg Thomas Fawcett Maris Otter Pale Ale malt and 1.65 kg Gladfield Ale malt (in lieu of Gladfield Ale malt, Vienna or Munich will give a similar character, though will make the finished wort slightly darker).

Mash temperature - 67°C. If milled grains at 20°C, then strike temperature will be around 76°C.

Boil time - 75 minutes (though can be reduced to 60 minutes depending on the evaporation rate of your system).

Hop additions - Based on 35% utilisation for 1st addition (bittering), 23% utilisation for second addition (flavour) and 5% utilisation for flame out/whirlpool addition (aroma) and a 75 minute boil.

Bittering (75 min boil) - Southern Cross 14.8% - 5 g

Flavour (20 min boil) - Southern Cross 14.8% - 4 g
- NZ Cascade 9.1% - 9 g
- Riwaka 5.6% - 15 g

Aroma (0 min boil) - Southern Cross 14.8% - 10 g
- NZ Cascade 9.1% - 20 g
- Riwaka 5.6% - 7 g

Add copper finings (for example, 1 g Koppafloc) 10 minutes before boil end.

Yeast - Wyeast 1272 - American Ale Yeast II

Dry hopping regime - Dry hop at approximate PG of 1.015 - 1.020 with:
- 30 g Southern Cross
- 20 g NZ Cascade
- 15 g Riwaka

Shot Kelly, awesome.

 

[Jamie Stuart]

Great stuff, cheers Kelly!

[Reuben Rowntree]

Wow thanks Kelly, I'll be giving this a crack too. Love the Mash Up!!

[Kelly Ryan]

Sweet! Cheers Reuben. Gonna be doing one last big brew for the year next week. Can't wait!

[Doublehoppy]

Thanks for posting Kelly, brilliant. I love the Mash Up as well.

Despite the fact that I don't have Maris Otter, Gladfields Malt, NZ Cascade, Southern Cross or Wyeast 1272 I'm gonna brew this...

I have substitutes for all of these (Golden Promise, Vienna, US Cascade, US05) except Southern Cross.

Would (Slovenian) Styrian Goldings be an OK substitute for the SC? The aroma profiles sound similar..lemon and pine...but never used SC so not sure how much aroma punch it carries

 

[Kelly Ryan]

I'd probably give something like Pacific Gem a go instead of the Southern Cross. Should give it something a bit similar. Happy brewing!

Thanks Kelly, much appreciated.
