Liverpool Beer Week - Rock the Boat Collab Brew

7/19/2018

0 Comments

 
The hot liquor tank started up before 6am, quite a brutal start for the uninitiated.  170kg of English pale malt and a touch of torrified wheat was enough to give this collaboration brew a lovely golden colour.  The weather was glorious, albeit rather warm as per the previous brews the Collective have undertaken!

Beer Collective member Jaime arrived and helped to get the brew moving on the day, discovering  how physical and tough a brewers' day can actually be.

Rock the Boat's premises out in Little Crosby are quite detached from the rest of Crosby on the outskirts of Liverpool and given how remote it seems, you'd be forgive for thinking the former carpenter's workshop was in another county altogether.  A little later in the morning, the transfer to the kettle began, followed swiftly by a boil.  No hops were added initially, to avoid overly bittering the final beer, but equal amounts of Ekuanot and Mosaic were added over four stages to the wort over the course of an hour.  American yeast was added to bring out the juiciness of this beer and on the second day of fermentation, additional hopping was undertaken.

After six days, the final gravity was taken and the beer weighed in at a robust 5.8%; the beer was then kegged and racked to cask.

Quite a departure for Rock the Boat in terms of brewing technique and style, but finally, a West Coast US IPA has been created and we cannot wait to try it!

Rock the Boat Brewing Company and the LBC give to you a big West Coast US IPA; Brigantine
