Notes: Sour Starter: (3 days prior to Mash)
1. Boil a 1.035 gravity starter and let cool to 100 degrees.
2. Inoculate the starter with a handful or 2 of crushed 2-row or pilsner, cover and let it sit for 3 days.
Sour Mash: (Eve before brew day)
1. Complete your normal mash regiment, add 10% equivalent of acidulated malt (22oz) to bring the PH down to 4.3 or lower, sparge normal, and bring the pre-boil wort to 180°F for pasteurization. Chill with wort chiller to 115°F. Drain into cooler.
2. Pitch the lacto starter sometime before bed, Wrap the cooler in blankets and let it sit in the garage (This is in florida during the summer, northern climates will need a way to maintain heat in the 95-105 range) Check the pH in the a.m. and be prepared to boil (you want a PH of 3.8 to know it is finished, it takes roughly 12-14 hours depending on temp)
3. Clean & sanitize flask. Make a new starter for your German yeast and put it on a stir plate for pitching the next day.
Brew Day:
1. Bring to boil, follow hops/boil schedule as normal, chill, and drain to fermenter.
Fermentation:
1. Chill to 64°, pitch yeast and keep at 64° F until activity subsides. (4-5 days)
2. Raise temp to 68° F until activity is complete.
3. During primary, let the berries thaw, then re-freeze (this will break down cell walls). Add 6 pds frozen Raspberries and hold for 2-3 days.
4. Crash to 32° F for 24 hours.
5. Keg and force carbonate

Notes: For this batch use 23.5 gallons of water due to all the hops and collect 18 for the boil due to losses from hops.
Strike with 9 gallons at 160 to hit 147. Raise through Herms to 155 after 45 minutes. Verify Mash PH is 5.2. Adjust if necessary with lactic acid. Sparge with 11 gallons at 165-170
Pacman Yeast. Made a 2 liter starter
Pitch yeast at 65. Add 1vl for 2min of pure 02 prior to pitching. Ferment at 65. Raise to 70 degrees after a few days to clear diactyle.
Hops added at 5 minutes in hopback/whirlpool. Dry hops after most of primary done and left for 5 days then racked off while crash cooling.

Notes: This was originally taken from a Belgian Blonde Strong Ale recipe. As this is a THC infused beer I decided to go with a more estery yeast, a small amount of biscuit malt for body and color, and some coriander and additional IBU to cut the grassy flavor of the tincture, which makes it a bastardized tripel. The small batch and higher alcohol reflects this is a beer intended to be savored and aged.
Also, the starting gravity was 1.049 with a 5.5 gallon start. OG is accurate.
Added 0.5 oz of crushed coriander at 10 min along with the Saaz hops.
The Candi Sugar was added to the wort at 100 degrees.
The honey was added at 75 degrees, just prior to pitching the yeast.
Fermented at 65 degrees 2 days and raised to 68 degrees for 5 days. Transferred to secondary after one week. Gravity was 1.012 at transfer. Secondary for two weeks at 68 degrees. Beer began lightly carbonating which is why the priming sugar is fairly modest.
The THC tincture was made with decarboxylated trim leaves and very small buds soaked in rectified spirits (diluted to 60% abv - 120 proof). Tincture was warmed in a mason jar to 120 degrees for 2 hours, then stored 2 months, shaking once per week.
It was tested for a metered 1.8tsp (0.3oz) per 12 ounces to get a regular user pretty high. The THC tincture was added directly to the bottles with syringe (~8ml) for an additional 1.5% abv (12 oz/0.3oz= 40; 60abv/40=1.5).
One was bottled in a clear glass to observe the setting and final color. All other bottles were brown as we were unsure if the chlorophyll will impact the beer. The first image is the beer two hours after bottling and the remaining tincture, which was roughly 10ml per 12 oz.
We saved a six pack of base beer for aging. In hindsight, it would have been best to add the tincture to a tertiary fermentation for 1-2 weeks to allow for some of the green to settle out. the second picture is 10 days of settling. |

Notes: First attempt at my own original recipe, my all time favorite: Bavarian Weissbier.
Took 3rd in German Wheat & Rye beers at the Southern New England Regional Homebrew Competition 2013.
For 2nd batch trying a single infusion mash and different yeast, 3068 instead of 3056.
Batch 2 came out watery and lacking body, very disaapointing. Trying a double decoction next time, also added 2 lbs Carapils.
Got it right now, best version yet, no more changes to the recipe.
Had to substitute Belgian Carapils for German Carapils this latest batch for color reasons.
Trying a single decoction this time and raising fermentation temp from 65 to 68
Also cut back the bittering 1.5 IBUs

Tasting Notes: Rich malty caramel balance beautifully with fragrant clementine-like hop aroma.
*Candi syrup added with 15 minutes left in boil. Use the dark amber recipe in this thread:
http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=114837
But only make a half batch (use one pound of sugar). Add the entire batch to the boil. This stuff is super easy to make and imperative to the recipe. The syrup it makes has a smooth decadent caramel flavor that is deeply rich and complex. The flavor and aroma make it through to the final beer and blend with the malt and hops to make a spectacular beer.
The procedure for making the syrups starts with 2 lbs of sugar, a varied amount of Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP Yeast Nutrient), and 1 cup of water. You bring these three ingredients to a boil over medium heat. You do not want to stir, the gentle convections will do all the mixing that is necessary. Using a thermometer, stop the boil at the desired terminal temperature by adding a varied amount of water while gently stirring the solution. This is the dangerous part, a fair amount of spitting and sputtering might occur. After adding the water you will need to dissolve the syrup by stirring gently until the solution reaches the stage called soft ball (240F). This is when the syrup is done. Stop the cooking by submerging the pan in cool water or by transferring the syrup to a preheated mason jar.
Deep Amber (290F)
-Deep amber with full red colors. Raisins and plums are the dominant flavors with a hint of toast and coffee. Some rummy and mildly woody flavors. Strong complex caramels are present. It is a sophisticated sweetness with a robust, full characteristic. This is my favorite.
2 Lbs Sugar
1 Cup Water
2 – 1/2 tsp DAP
1 – 1/2 Cup Water
Below is an alternative syrup.
Sugar #5
This is a double cooked sugar that further increases the flavors of 290F without compromising the complex caramels. Think of this sugar as an extension of the 290F recipe. Everything about it is intensified. The procedure is a bit more complicated and it takes nearly an hour to complete, but it is worth the time and effort.
Over medium heat bring to a boil
2 Lbs Sugar
1 Cup Water
3 tsp DAP
Raise this to the terminal temperature of 290F. At 290F begin stirring and add in:
1 Cup Water
Continue stirring until the sugars are dissolved. Again, bring the solution up to 290F over medium heat. At 290F begin stirring and add in:
1 Cup of Water
Stir this until the sugars are dissolved and the temperature starts to rise a couple degrees. This Should be right at or just above soft ball (240F). This is when the syrup is done. Stop the cooking by submerging the pan in cool water or by transferring the syrup to a preheated mason jar. |
