Notes

APA toward the red malt direction

75% american ale malt base, 15% supernova malt sub-base, 10% Redback malt specialty

medium hop additions of nelson sauvin and mosiac

good final volume, lower percentage than expected – OG was lower than expected, likely the higher volume (kettle topped up 3L), lower grain base than the last rapa, and different ratios or grain type;

  • first rapa 6.5kg grain @ 6.3% had 87.7% american ale (base malt), 7.7% caramalt (sub-base malt), and 4.6% shepherds delight (specialty malt).
  • this rapa 6.2kg grain @ 4.8% had 65% american ale (base malt), 25% supernova(sub-base malt), and 10% redback (specialty malt).
