Begin Brewing!

In a previous post I shared  the recipe for the Digital Haze IPA kit  that was offered to attendees of HomeBrewCon 2021.  Today, I decided to brew the kit.  It was at that point that I realized the 8 ounce package of Carapils was missing from my kit. I decided to swap in some Pilsner malt I had that I wanted to use up - so what you see below is slightly different from the actual kit from Brewer's Best. Refer to the link above it you want the exact kit recipe. Ingredients 4 pounds Pilsen DME 1 pound Corn Sugar 8 ounces White Wheat Malt 8 ounces Flaked Oats 1.5 pounds German Pilsner Malt (8 oz. to replace Carapils, plus 16 "just because") 1 package Lallemand Voss Kveik yeast 1/4 tsp. Brewtan B (boil, 10 min.) - added to reduce oxidation 5.5 gallons of RO water, treated with: 1g Baking Soda 6.5g Calcium Chloride 3.3g Epsom Salt 1.5g Gypsum 2g Magnesium Chloride 1 Tbsp. pH 5.2 Stabilizer (optional, to hold pH at 5.2) Brewfather estimates the beer to have the following chara

This was a limited edition kit announced during the Soluble Hop Compounds Tech Talk from Yakima Chief and Brewers Best at HomeBrewCon 2021.  Since you might not have a chance to pick up the kit, or you might at least be wondering what's in it, I'm reproducing the recipe below for reference.  I just received my kit today (and haven't brewed it yet, more on that later). The kit came with a bottle opener, some literature from Yakima Chief and Brewer's Best, a set of adhesive labels for the bottles, bottle caps, and priming sugar for bottling.  Unfortunately, mine seemed to be missing the 8 ounces of Carapils. Ingredients 4 pounds Pilsen DME 1 pound Corn Sugar 8 ounces Wheat (malted wheat, not flaked) 8 ounces Carapils 8 ounces Flaked Oats 3 one-ounce packages of Cryo Pop(tm) Hops 1 package of Lallemand Voss Kveik Yeast Beer characteristics from the sheet: IBUs:   16-19 ABV:   4.8% to 5.4% OG: 1.046 - 1.049 SG FG:   1.008-1.011 SG Color: Hazy Pale Straw Batch Size: 5 gal
