Pam Grier #1

Pam Grier, american brown ale based on Mikkeller's Jackie Brown.

Grist

  • 1600g pils (Castle, 3 EBC)
  • 300g brown malt (Crisp, 120 EBC)
  • 300g Caramel Münich I (BESTMALTZ, 90 EBC)
  • 300g Flaked torrified oats (Crisp, 5 EBC)
  • 200g Crystal malt (Castle, 150 EBC)
  • 100g cara pils (BESTMALTZ, 5 EBC)
  • 50g Chateau chocolat (Castle, 900 EBC)
  • 315g DME

Hops

  • 18g Nugget @ 60min
  • 18g Centennial @ 5min
  • 18g Amarillo dryhop

Yeast

  • Wyeast 1028

Notes

Basically no-chill. Yeast pitched 30/1 around noon.

FG 1.012-1.013 measured 5/2

Forgot to note OG. Recipe stated 1.060. Brewfather calculated 1.054. Efficiency was low, hence the DME, so assume Brewfather is correct.

Bottling

10L bottled on 7/2 using 67g DME for carbonation.

Tasting notes

Lacks mouthfeel. Maybe mash at higher temp, and/or use another yeast. WY1968, maybe?

Slight roast character. Use Carafa Special II instead of chocolate malt, or try capping

Maybe a bit too dark? Check recipe against actual EBC values used. Some grains might have switched color/amout. Not critical.

  • Recipe calls for 23 EBC Münich I, not 90 EBC Caramel Münich I. This is probably the main culprit re. color.
  • Recipe calls for 110 EBC Cara Crystal, not 150 EBC Crystal
  • Brown malt is listed at slightly lighter than recipe, though (120 vs 150 EBC)
