Notes: Made this before. Can't achieve lager temps so I use US-05 and ferment around 62-64 f then raise up to about 70 after 10 days, then put in my fridge and bring down to about 42 F for 2 days. Bottle, and let sit for a month before drinking. I used clarity ferm, and this stuff came out clear as can be. If you want less hop presence then omit the 10 min cascade addition. The 1 oz of blackprinz is to add color, but no real harsh flavor.
Can't get yuengling in California... So this is the next best thing.
Added blackprinz and vienna malt to try to get the color and flavor of Yuengling Lager. .
Awesome lawnmower beer. Wish I could make 10 gallon batches of this at a time |

Notes: 1. Be sure to crush the oat malt well as it tends to crush differently than the barley.
2. Add wheat flour to the mash. If not doing BIAB add rice hulls. (Some say add the flour to the boil, but my experience is that it doesn't dissolve and just creates dough ball lumps.)
3. Do a high temp mash. You may need to mash for 90 minutes.
4. Use around a 1:2 sulfate to chloride water profile.
5. Add green apple puree with 20 minutes left in the boil. This adds pectin to create haze and body.
6. Add the lactose sugar with 10 minutes left in the boil.
7. Add whirlpool hops slowly over a 45 minute period starting at flameout, keeping the whirlpool moving the whole time.
8. Add half of dry hops in 2-3 days, when the krausen is still high.
9. 4-6 days later, when fermentation is mostly done, rack into a secondary and add vanilla bean, mango pulp, and ground green cardamom. (Can skip secondary and add it right to the primary if you have enough head room.)
10. Allow to condition on the fruit alone for 4-6 days, then add the rest of the dry hops.
11. Cold crash and package 4-8 days later.
Target starting fermenter volume is 6+ gallons to end up with 5 gallons after all the loss to dry hopping and fruit. Use at least a 6.5 gallon fermenter. Add a few drops of Fermcap-S to prevent blowoff.

Notes: The crushed carapils were steeped for 30 min. at 155 degrees. Sparge the grain with 1 quart of 170 degree water. Add water to bring volume in boil kettle to 3 gallons. Add malt extract and bring to a boil. Add bittering hops and boil for 60 min. At 30 min. add irish moss. Add finishing hops at last 2 min. of boil.
This wort was put into primary for 1 week and then cold crashed for 5 days. It was then racked to a secondary fermenter and 4.5 lbs of frozen blackberries were added. By freezing the berries before adding, more juice will be released into the beer. When the berries are frozen and the water volume in the fruit expands it breaks the skins. When they thaw more juice is released into the beer. You will want to cold crash your wort or use another method to floculate the yeast. Otherwise the fruit will ferment as well and create a winey taste. The beer will need to remain in secondary for around a week to get a good flavor. I left mine in for 7 days, but you can decide when there is enough blackberry flavor for your liking. Transfer to a clean fermenter and transfer to your keg. This beer is meant to be kegged because there is no longer enough active yeast to bottle condition.
Enjoy!! |

Notes: MASH INFO: Single infusion/Batch Sparge/Full Body Mash in with 14.38 quarts of water at 174. Should equalize to 156 degrees. Mash at 156 for 60 minutes. Batch Sparge twice with 2.5 gallons of water at 175 degrees. Boil for 60 minutes using the hop schedule listed in the ingredients section. Add Nibs to primary after fermentation has ended, do not rack beer to a secondary. Just add the nibs to the primary fermentor. 2-3 days before adding them, soak the nibs in just enough Vodka to cover the nibs. Then dump them in, vodka and all, let sit on the nibs for 7-10 days max, 3 to 4 days seems about right.

Notes: This is what I came up with while researching Sierra Nevada Kellerweis, a favorite for the wife and me.
I have not yet produced it but the numbers add up almost right on par with SN's Kellerweis.
The Brewery gives it's stats as...
4.8 ABV
15 IBU's
Using Perle or Sterling Hops.(I found with flavor profile and location of the brewery, it is perhaps the Perle U.S. hops)
Malt mentioned is a combination of Two-Row Pale, Wheat and Munich malt's.
If someone gets to it before I have a chance let me know how it turns out. I hope to make it in the next couple of weeks. |

Notes: Mash pH was too low at 5.03
I used 6 teaspoons of Bali Blue Moon coffee from Island Roasters, a local coffee shop in New Smryna Beach, FL. It's roasted at Light Vienna, which I believe is somewhere on the medium roast spectrum. I had it coarse ground and added it directly to a fine mesh bag, added a sanitized spoon for weight, and added it directly to the keg while I cold crashed and carbonated.
It was in the keg for 48 hours at 15psi before removal. I think the keg pressure helped extract the coffee flavor. I used unflavored dental floss tied to the string of the bag so that I could retrieve the bag when I was ready.
After talking with other brewers about this beer I think I may have had a little luck on my side in using ground coffee instead of cold brew coffee. Next time I'll probably get a good quality fresh cold brew from somewhere nearby and add it to the keg to taste. Just my 2 cents. |
