Notes: single-rest mash around 150-152
Pitch yeast at 65, ramp up to 75 over 48 hours.

Rakau hops give this beer an amazing tropical note. Very drinkable "Imperial saison"

1st place for 16C Saison cat. at the Buffalo County Fair in Nebraska 2013.

Infusion Mash at 145 degrees for 90 minutes can be subbed for step mash.

Acidulated malt can be subbed for lactic acid or any other acid to get the mash down to 5.4 PH.

Use a 3-4L starter for 10 gallons
Pitch starter @ 64F and allow temp to rise to 80F over 1 week

About 2-3 days after pitching, when the primary is just past high krausen and falling, boil 1/2 gallon of water and disolve cane sugar in it, cover and let cool to room temp and add sugar to achieve 93% attenuation

After fermentation, cold crash for 24-48 hours, rack to keg with gelatin for crystal clear beer and allow to cold condition for 10 weeks

Force carb @ 30 psi for 48 hours for high carbonation.

Notes: Dry hopping after 9 days with 1 oz of fresh Cascade and 0.5 oz of fresh Citra. Also added 13 g of grapefruit zest from 6 large grapefruits. Little worried because they had some green areas (underripe??). I washed them before zesting, then put them in a fine mesh bag and soaked them in sanitizer for ~1 minute. Then into the fermenter!

OG = ~1.055
FG = 1.015

Second brew - 10-30-13
Dry hopped after 9 days with 1 oz fresh cascade and 0.5 oz fresh Citra. Added 43 g of grapefruit zest from 3 large yellow grapefruits. These ones yielded way more zest than the last ones! I washed before zesting, then put in a fine mesh bag and dunked in sanitizer before putting into fermenter.

Third brew - 2-15-14
With our full boil setup, had to reduce the hops so it wouldn't be too bitter. Otherwise, kept it mostly the same. This round of Citra hops was super high alpha. Mashed 7.1 pounds grain in 3 gallons of water at ~150-152 for an hour. Heated up to 170, removed grains. Sparged grains with 3 gallons of 170 degree water. Going for a starting boil volume of ~6 gallons, with about a gallon of boil off.

OG - <1.06. Measured ~1.06 then added another quart of water, and the yeast starter. Final volume (before yeast starter) ~4.75. After yeast starter, 5.2 gal or so.

Fourth brew: All grain batch. 9-20-14
First all grain batch! We used a single infusion mash @ 154. It dropped down to maybe 152 by the end of the hour. We opened the cooler and stirred every 15 mins. We collected 6.5 gallons for the boil, it had a gravity of 1.06. I have no idea what that makes our efficiency. Our final boil volume was ~5 gallons, but lost a good amount to trub (lots of hops). Volume was 4.5 gals with an OG of 1.07+. Added 3/4 of a gallon H2O, got it to ~1.64. Pitched yeast starter. Had a kraussen the next day!
9-30-14 Dry hopped with 35 g of grapefruit zest from 7 small (washed) grapefruits. Also 0.5 oz citra and 1 oz cascade. Sanitized hops bags but not hops. Sanitized bag for zest and dunked the zest in sanitizer.

Brew on 3/14/15
-changed hop profile to decrease IBUs slightly base on taste of last beer.
-doing larger boil volume to get right amount for fermentation
-mashing at 152.
- OG was a little low (1.06?). Think our efficiency was more like 60%.
Dry hopping on 3/22/15
- 39 g of zest from 7 small grapefruits. Tried a new technique for sanitizing: Sanitized whole grapefruits (after washing), microplane, and a bowl. Zested the grapefruits right out of the sanitizer.Putting zest into sanitized hop bag then into carboy. Avoids putting all the fresh zest into starsan.
Used 1 oz cascade, 1 oz citra (up from 0.5 oz in previous batches), both whole leaf.

Brewing 11-7-15
Increasing hops because we want to. Making Northern Brewer 1 oz (instead of 0.75) and adding another half ounce of Citra, don't know when yet... update later.

Notes: The FG of Rochefort 10 is no higher than 1.011. This can only be reached by using such high amounts of sugar. The OG provided by malt/starch should be around 1.07.
It is probably necessary to add nutrients for the yeast given the proportion of sugar.

Notes: Mengden meske- og skyllevann du bør bruke kommer an på utstyret og metoden du brygger med. Som et anslag kan vi si at du kan bruke 20 l meskevann og 13,3 l skyllevann til dette ølet. Noen bryggemaskiner (f.eks. Speidel Braumeister) kan kreve større mengder meskevann. Sjekk alltid manualen på utstyret du bruker.

Mesking på 65 grader i 75 min. Utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min hvis du har mulighet til å øke temperatur i mesken.

Kjøl ned til 15 grader før pitching av gjær.

Gjæring på 16 grader til stormgjæring begynner å avta (typisk etter 3-5 dager). Øk deretter til 20 grader og hold resten av gjæringsperioden (totalt 14 dager).

Gjæralternativer: WLP011, WLP036, Safale K-97

Notes: Last holiday season I needed a festive beer to drink under the tannenbaum, so I moving away from any “Wassail” style of heavier bodied winter warmers with orange and clove flavors and going with a comforting favorite like oatmeal cookies which include some flavorings and spices such as: toasted oatmeal, raisins, cinnamon and vanilla.

– Toast the raw oats in the oven at 300ºF until it becomes golden brown and smells like cookies. (Takes around 1 hour)
– Use a mesh bag (aka Brew-in-a-Bag) for grist and oatmeal in the mash.
– 90 min. add Northern Brewer hops
– 15 min. add Irish moss
– 5 min. add East Kent Goldings hops
– Post boil add Raisins

Add to secondary Vanilla and cinnamon

I made homemade Dark Brown sugar made by mixing the proportions of 1 cup of cane sugar to 2 tbsp of molasses. The recipe calls for 10 oz. of dark brown sugar which is almost 2 cups loosely packed and I added 4 tbsp. of molasses plus an extra tablespoon to make it dark brown sugar.
Add raisins at the end of the boil to plump them up.
Lightly carbonated using 30.42 g. of Candi sugar at 64ºF to produce 2.0 vol of CO2

The aroma is toasty, vanilla, cinnamon and there is a big bubbled light tan head; the flavor is malty sweet, raisiny, "bourbony"; full bodied, unctuous mouthfeel; light but refreshing carbonation.

Notes: Made some tweaks recently to my batch #1.

Compared to 2016 Heady Topper mine was coming out slightly too dark by 1 or 2 SRM and was also slightly too candy-ish, which I attribute to both the Caramalt and the Amarillo hops %s. I reduced both in this batch. Actually subbed Comet for Amarillo. I also swapped Turbinado (Sugar in the Raw) with plain old corn sugar (Dextrose) to eliminate even more darkness/residual sweetness. Finally I upped the Columbus and lowered the Simcoe.

For the Malt Bill use the following brands:
Thomas Fawcett Pearl Malt
Thomas Fawcett CaraMalt
Canada Malting White Wheat Malt

Primary fermentation target 68*ambient. Allow to rise to the low 70s as primary fermentation nears completion.

"Conan" yeast is essential for this recipe to turn out correctly. I use the Yeast Bay's "Vermont Ale." There are a few other brands that are based on the Conan strain. Harvesting Conan from cans of Heady Topper would be best. If you can't get Conan, you could try English strains Wyeast 1968, White Labs 007, or Safale US-04, but they may not attenuate low enough and could result in too much sweetness.

For the bittering hop addition use 10 ml of HopShot at 90 minutes (boil). This should add 117 IBUs.

Allow wort to cool to around 180 degrees and add whirlpool hop addition.

Split the Dry Hop into 2 additions over 8 days (4 days each.

Note: Shooting for 130 IBUs total, mostly from the hopshot. The very late additions should not have noticeable utilization (maybe 10%).
