Notes: Standard boil profile. Whirlfloc, yeast nutrient, aroma hops, and 2nd chocolate additions @ 10 minutes. S.G. reading and volume/S.G. adjustment to approx. 22 gallons just before flame out.

Add coffee in seeping bag @ flame out and seep to taste. Whirlpool chill to 160 degrees and allow to settle for 30 minutes. Transfer to fermenter, simultaneously chilling to 70 degrees and aerating with pure oxygen. Pitch a slurry of (5) 11 g packets of properly hydrated yeast @ 70 degrees and install airlock. Wait 3-4 hours, apply a 120 second, pure oxygen aeration, then close butterfly valve, remove aeration assembly, and cap. Maintain fermentation temperature at 68-70 degrees through primary fermentation. Chop vanilla bean into small pieces and soak in bourbon during primary fermentation. When primary fermentation is mostly complete, drop trub and add entire bourbon/vanilla liqueur mixture to fermenter. Allow fermentation to proceed until complete, sampling and adjusting vanilla and coffee levels to taste as necessary. Drop ambient temperature to lagering temperature if possible and hold until beer clears. Rack and carbonate. Age to taste.

Results: A wonderfully smooth porter with delicious coffee/chocolate flavor, and a great aroma. Best served well aged at cellar temperature.

Notes: IMPORTANT: Add honey at end of boil, flame out.

Wort Notes:
After 45-60 min Mash I sparged the BIAB with a pour over 32oz warm water. This makes total boil slightly more than 2 gallons.

Optional: Start of boil pull 2 cups wort and separately boil down into syrup. Then add this back in to the boiling wort.

Style Notes:
After lots of searching the feedback i got is a Scotch Ale or Wee Heavy is a good place to start for a Braggot. Recipe is Shooting for 50% honey so I can feel like it's a Braggot.

The Wee Heavy style suggests longer boil times to get more malty flavors. So I am starting with 2 gallons and a 90 minute boil, targeting 1 gallon. this also allows for the syrup above. You may need to add more water as you go to keep in line. Use a dip stick to measure.

I made a Yeast starter using 6g of GoFerm and 5g Safale yeast.

Finished Notes:
Wort ready at 1 gallon and SG of 1.080 NICE!

next time: Might swap Munich for Victory to see difference in dryness.

Turned out great at 1.010. Honey fermented clean (not too hot) I left in fermenter for 18 days before bottling. It was good and drinkable after being bottled for 3 weeks. I am told aging makes it even better so I will save the rest for a couple months..

Notes: Excellent cream ale. Keep the corn or rice at or under 10% too much corn gives a weird twang. With us 05 I always rehydrate. I take some of the extra wort from the mash, balance it to 1.035. boil, chill, and rehydrate the yeast, if you don't you get some weird pear like esters. I've tried 001 and 1056 both were clean but not dry enough. K97 kolsch yeast was great. Taken straight from the winners section of the aha website.

Notes: Secondary run off sparge. Drew 4.2gallons off after main 7.5. Boiled for 60. 1oz Summit at 60. 1oz Northern Brewer at 15/0. Also threw in 8 bags of Celestial Seasonings Mint tea bags at 15min. OG was 1.055. Final was 1.015 on this mini batch. Tasted great at bottling. Smelled like an Andes mint.

Notes: American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056) [2500.00 ml]

Super High Gravity Ale (White Labs #WLP099) [2500.00 ml] [Add to Secondary]

In a bowl, mixed together 3 Oz. Amarillo, 3 Oz. Warrior, 3 Oz. Simcoe and blended together. Made 40 Dixie cups with 6.3 grams in each cup. Added 1 cup every 3 minutes for all of 120 minute boil.

Divided Dextrose into 28 individual 12 oz ziplock bags. After transfer to conical, started adding the second day, twice daily (12 oz in the morning and 12 oz in late afternoon) for 14 days. Towards the end, would see how fermentation was doing before adding. If fermentation slowed, re-think before you add more sugar as once added the final beer may be sweet.

1/2 gallon of wort was added to the high gravity yeast to make a starter. Second yeast was added on day 5 of fermentation.

Oxygen was added once daily for 4 days. 30 seconds @ 1200 psi with 0.2 micron SS Stone.

Dry hopping: Added 2 oz. Amarillo, 2 oz. Warrior and 2 oz. Simcoe to a bowl and blend. 28 ziplock backs were filled with 6 grams of hops each. 1 bag was added with each evening addition of dextrose and continued for a total of 28 additions or 4 weeks.

Fermentation was on the cold side, roughly 66-70 degrees. Lots of heat from the yeast.

OF ended at 1.050. Let sit for a few days on yeast to help finish fermentation. Stopped adding sugar on day 13. Total dextrose added as 21.5 pounds. Re-calculated OG was 1.200.

Bottled in 6 oz champagne splits, no addional yeast or sugar added. No carbonation. Final % with high gravity hydrometer was 20.7% abv.

Beer has aged nicely and a wonderful treat for on a cold night or for a beer tasting event.

Creation Date: 3/7/2016 7:09 AM

Notes: Note: This is a 2.5 gallon batch

Steep grains in mash. Hold at ~155F for 30-45 minutes.

Bring to boil then take off heat to add malt extract. Bring back to boil and follow additions:

60 mins: 0.4 oz East Kent Goldings
15 mins: 0.3 oz East Kent Goldings
Whirlfloc Tablet
0 mins: 4 oz pecans (to sterilize the pecans so they can sit in the fermentation)

Cool and add yeast as with any batch.

Our OG was 1.058 +/- 0.001 so pretty much right on target. I will add more results in about 2 weeks when primary fermentation is done!

Final Gravity: 1.015

Add a small amount of boiled maple syrup into the final product (after fermentation is complete). I suggest taking a small sample of beer (with a known volume) and adding small amounts of maple syrup to test flavor. Then add in the maple syrup in proportionally.

*Pecan Prep
Pecans are super oily and that can have an effect on head retention, texture etc. so it is crucial to remove as much oil from the pecans as possible prior to brewing with them.

Crush pecans and cook at 315F for 10-15 minutes. A food processor works really well for the crushing. To squeeze out oils, place in paper bags and let them soak or place under paper towels and place weight on them (my chemical engineering textbooks were perfect for this!)

Repeat this process as many times as necessary, we did it 5 times and still had a lot of oil so experiment with this.

**Maple Syrup Type
Use Grade B maple syrup which is the darker variety since it serves as better fermentable sugar. Can also be called Grade A Dark so look out for that.

Notes: It's Czech pilsner. Think Pilsner Urquell or Stella Artois.

Light in color and fizzy, this pilsner is quite sessionable and more about the hops than the malt, but not in an unbalanced way. Agnus hops give a lemon scent and a very low proportion of herbal scent, late and early variety Saaz hops bring mild, earthy, herbal, and spicy flavors.
