Define "Strong Mild"

[louiscowdroy]

Hello Seymour,

I am currently Enjoying this Excellent Strong mild, If I do say so myself.

For 10 US gallon
8kg Fawcetts Tipple malt
700g Aromatic
600g Black malt
600g Sugar
350g Pale crystal
150g Torrified wheat

40g Willamette 90 min
20g Challenger 90 min
20g Willamette 15 min
13g challenger 15 Min

Bitterness ratio .5

Yeast used Brewlabs TV3, which I find accentuates the malt flavours nicely.

Primed for cask with Jaggery Goor unrefined sugar to 1.5 vols

good to go at three weeks.

Could i ask what the ABV is please?

Louis

Hello Louis,

I shot for 1061 og (ABV 6.6%). but ended up a bit shy at OG 1057, I got an extra gallon out though at around 6%.

Would you be able to adjust your recipe for a 19ltr batch for me??

And the Pale Malt Tipple......is that just MO or Golden Promise......just another name for the same thing?

Hello Louis,

just half everything mate.

For the Pale malt, use any malt you have to hand.

Exactly. We could argue the minor differences between base malts, but the overall outcomes should be extremely similar. Tipple and Maris Otter are simply names of agricultural cultivars, but both are 2-row barley well-suited to brewing beer. Tipple is the leading spring variety and Maris Otter is an excellent winter variety.

Bottom line: mash just about any light colored cereal grain, let it ferment, and you'll get something like beer.

Good Luck Louis,

Mine has become my "goto" beer and is quickly disappearing.

I will be interested to read how you get on with it.

What ever. Most Ratebeer users can not even describe a beer properly.

my shipweck ipa was described by one poster of having an obvious english hop overdose

hops for shipwreck? lots of cascade and centennial............. im not arguing about the amount though

back to the op im my mind they can be bloody strong, ive had a cracker at 8% from hardknott, they should be a fresh young beer ,with up to a moderate level of bitterness, and they can be pale, brown or black

That is hilarious, especially since the grapefruitiness of those two American hops is the most recognizeable hop attribute of all, even for beginners!
