I roped the brew club into making a clone of Bravery's Buster's Brown. Brian Avery sent over a skeleton of the ingredients and let us fill in the details. This is my attempt at said ingredients:
12 lbs 2 row
8oz C40
6oz cara-pils
8oz white wheat malt
4oz chocolate malt
2oz Magnum
2oz Northern Brewer
2oz Cascade
2 packets of US-05
I'll add the Northern Brewer with 10mins to go and Cascade at flame out.
For a water profile I'm going to add the following to distilled (which I got from ezwatercalculator.com):
Mash:
4g CaSO4
2g CaCl2
1g MgSO4
Sparge:
4g CaSO4
2g CaCl2
1g MgSO4
This should yield the following:
77ppm Ca
5ppm Mg
0ppm Na
51ppm Cl
134ppm SO4
With a pH of 5.6
1.5mL of Lactic Acid should get us down to a pH of 5.5
We mashed in a little high. Around 158. I got it down to 154-156. The pH measured 5.4. So, I will not add any acid.
OG will be 1.064. A little high. The wort tasted bitter. I went with 1.5oz of magnum and 1.5oz of Northern Brewer. Glad I did that. All in all it was a very ho hum boring brew day. Here's to hoping the beer comes out tasty.
