Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n
This was a clean-the-house brew.\u00a0 The Pilsen LME had been sitting around (albeit refrigerated) for at least 8 months.\u00a0 The Mangrove Jack’s IPA pouch kit was “Best Before End 03\/2017”.\u00a0 The C40, Special B, and Roast Barley came from a Midwest Supplies Irish Red Ale kit’s steeping grains, also at least 8 months old.\u00a0 Finally, the Briess Goldpils malt was also at least 8 months old and didn’t taste very fresh.<\/p>\n
Why the hell not?\u00a0 To make it even better, we’re going to barrel this for a month or two and have a strong barreled brown ale.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
We got 1.25 gallons of partial mash wort at 17\u00b0 Plato wort (1.070, or 1.018 in 5 gallons).\u00a0 We then added the Mangrove Jack’s and Pils extracts and topped up to 1.8 gallons for our short boil.\u00a0 Topping up to 5 gallons we achieved an original gravity of 1.076, right on target.\u00a0 After minor oxygenation we pitched two packs of rehydrated yeast, Safale S-04 and Mangrove Jack’s M07.\u00a0 Both are apparently Whitbread-derived strains so the profile should be similar.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, after two weeks at 67\u00b0F fermentation stopped at 1.023, or about 7.4% ABV.\u00a0 That’s not good enough, so we made a large starter of Wyeast 3711 French Saison (which is recommended for stuck fermentations) and pitched that.\u00a0 Fermentation started up again and is still going after a week.\u00a0 The yeast combination should be interesting, especially after it’s been in the barrel for a while.<\/p>\n
Mangrove Jack’s<\/strong><\/p>\n
There are a few Mangrove Jack’s pouch kit Youtube reviews from New Zealand (where Mangrove Jack’s is based) but nothing from the northern hemisphere.\u00a0 They seem like a step up from Munton’s or Cooper’s pre-hopped kits.\u00a0 Plus Adventures in Homebrewing keeps having $16 sales on them.<\/p>\n
We also picked up the London Bitter and American Pale Ale with Dry Hops pouch kits, which we’re going to brew straight-up, though with Briess Pale Ale DME instead of the included 2.2lbs of corn sugar.\u00a0 We’ll review each of them in their own right, so you have some clue whether they’re the king of the pre-hopped mountain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
