Baggish Red - Irish Red Ale brewed for Baggebaren, Double Wars XXXV

Posted on 2024-04-21

Since joining Baggeholm a few years ago, I’ve been brewing the beer for the camp bar at Double Wars. This is a beer that I first brewed in 2023, but due to poor documentation and ADHD I didn’t publish the recipe. I’m brewing the same thing again this year, so here it is:

Ingredients

Malt	Weight (g)	%
Pale ale malt	4500	90
Carabohemian	200	4
Crisp 400	200	4
Roasted barley	100	2

Hops	Amount	Time	Comment
Northdown	20g	@-60min
Northdown	20g	@5days	Dry hopped, 2.5 days

Ingredient	Amount	Time
Protafloc	1ml	@-20min
Voss Kveik	11g	Post cooling

Mashing schedule

Resting temp	Time
~67C	60m
78C	N/A

Measurements

OG	1.040
FG	1.010
ABV	~4%

Starting date	2024-04-21
Yeast pitched	2024-04-22
Bottled	2024-04-28

Water

Mash according to the mashing schedule using (grist weight)*3L water, i.e. (4.5+0.2+0.2+0.1)*3=15L.
Goal volume is about 20L, and with a water retention rate of 0.5-0.6L water/500g grains, roughly 5L will be retained. As such, I will sparge with 20+5-15=10L of water.
My pot has a boil-off rate of about 3L/h, so another 3L of water will be added to compensate.
No water chemistry stuff is being done
