Zorg's Zythos Purple Galaxy (ZZPG)
Based on 60% kettle efficiency.
Just under 3 gallons after dry-hopping losses.
~9.5% ABV
~6.6 SRM + Purple Ube
~80 IBU's
10 lb bohemian floor malted pilsner (91%)
1 lb flaked wheat (9%)
1/2 lb light pilsner DME (15 min left in boil)
1/4 lb dried ube (purple)
"pilsner step mash" from 126F through mash-out, but mostly 151F, aiming for pre-boil gravity around 15.5-16P. Strategy was 90 min boil for SMM/DMS(O) + whirlpool for 15m ...
1 oz Zythos @75m
Whirfloc, yeast nutrients, and plate-chiller sanitization-start at 15 mins as per the usual.
Aim for post-boil gravity of 19-20P.
1 oz Galaxy for 15m whirlpool recirculation.
2 pkg Safale S-04, place at mid-to-upper 60F's for two days.
Future:
- 1 oz Galaxy pellets on day three of primary, substitute spunding-valve for blow-off apparatus.
- 1 oz Galaxy pellets on day five, switch to keezer, add Clear beer, and plug into distributor block at 10-12 psi.
