Oaty IPA

[sven945]

Just pitched on this experiment. My first time repitching yeast from slurry, also trying out golden naked oats. I'd been told they can make things taste of peanuts. Well the raw grains certainly did! Here's the recipe anyway, 12 litre batch.

2.5kg pale malt
0.3kg golden naked oats

Mashed at 66ºC, hops giving me 41IBUs.

15g Columbus @ 15 minutes
10g Centennial @ 15 minutes
10g Citra @ 15 minutes
15g Centennial aroma steep
15g Citra aroma steep

WLP051 California V yeast, from slurry, pitched at 20ºC.

I'm going to dry hop with 25g citra and 20g centennial (the rest of the pack) at the weekend.

It's hazy as anything already. I put hops in muslin bags, and I poured from my big pan into the FV through my (cleaned and boiled) grain bag to try and filter the wort. It clogged up completely with the gunk, so I doubt I'll be able harvest from this slurry. I'm going to harvest from overbuilt starters from now on though.

You can still havest the gunky/trubby slurry and reuse it. Just chuck a bit more into the wort (about 300ml) or you can rinse the yeast out

Cheers. I'll probably still give it a go anyway, and if there's obviously not much yeast when it settles then I'll chuck it, otherwise I'll keep it for another generation.
