I got a pile of newly harvested hops on the club hop tour last weekend, and I couldn't decide what to brew today, so I brewed both an ESB and an IPA. The base recipe is the same as batch 98. I made 13 gallons of wort, then split it into 2 boil kettles and hopped each one differently.
10 gallon batch.
Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale, 8C)
OG: 1.056
FG: 1.014
IBU: 41
SRM: 13
ABV: 5.4%
19.0 lbs 2-row
1.0 lbs Munich
1.0 lbs Wheat
1.0 lbs Victory
10 oz Biscuit
6 oz Crystal 60
0.5 lbs Special B
Mash at 150F for 60 minutes. Mash with 1 qt/lb = 6 gallons. Treated water with 1/2 tsp calcium chloride and 1/2 tsp gypsum per 5 gallons (treated both mash water and sparge water). Collected 13 gallons, then transferred 6.5 gallons back to the HLT for the IPA.
ESB hop additions:
7g Delta, 6.0%AA, 10 additions: 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 0 min.
IPA hop additions:
4g Chinook, 4g Centennial, 4g Cascade, 11 additions: FWH, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 0 min.
1/2 T Irish Moss in each at 15 Min.
ESB yeast:
Wyeast 1318 London Ale III Yeast.
IPA yeast:
Wyeast 1272 American Ale II Yeast.
I didn't think ahead and mis-calculated -- BOTH pots will boil off about 3 gallons over 90 minutes, so I ended up with about 3.5 gallons of 1.080 wort at the end. Topped off each with about 5 quarts of water.
