Notes: Mesk på 67 grader i 60 min. Hvis du har mulighet, kan du gjerne gjøre en utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min.
Pitch gjær på 17 grader. La stige fritt i et romtemperert rom (på 20-22 grader). Det kan bli varmt inne i gjæringskaret under gjæringen, men dette er ønskelig i dette tilfellet. Temperaturen vil synke igjen når stormgjæringen roer seg. Tørrhumle f.o.m. dag 8, og la tørrhumla få en kontakttid på 5-10 dager. Gjør gjerne en coldcrash (å senke temperaturen så langt ned mot 0 grader som mulig) 2-3 dager før tapping hvis du har mulighet. |

Notes: Line the 7.5 gallon kettle with the mesh bag, fill with 2.5 gallons of tap water and bring to 164°F. Remove from heat.
Mash-in by slowly adding all 5.8 pounds of grain into the water and inside the bag. Stir for 2 minutes to prevent balls of grain from clumping together, creating a consistent mash. The temperature should equalize to about 154°F.
Cover the mash, only uncovering to briefly stir every 20 minutes. Heat 3 more gallons of water to 185°F.
After 60 minutes, mash-out by carefully pouring the 185°F water into the mash, stirring to equalize temperature to about 170°F.
Slowly raise the grain bag out of the liquid, allowing the wort to drain from the grain. Hold the grain bag above the kettle for about 5 minutes as the wort drains. Top the wort off with water to 6 gallons
Bring wort to a vigorous boil. When the boil begins, add 0.5 ounce Northern Brewer hops in a mesh bag.
After total of 60 minutes of boil, remove from heat. Warning: After wort cools below 180°F everything that touches it should be sanitary, and exposure to open air should be limited as much as possible.
Cool wort by placing pot in ice bath or by using a wort chiller until it is below 70°F. Transfer to sanitized fermentor (either a carboy or a fermentation bucket).
Use a sanitized auto-siphon racking cane to remove enough wort to take a gravity reading with your hydrometer. Make a note of this number, since you will be using it to calculate the actual alcohol content when it's done fermenting. The reading should be around 1.032.
Carefully pour yeast into cooled wort (it should be below 70°F), and agitate vigorously. Cover fermentor with a sanitized stopper and airlock. Ferment in dark place, keeping ambient temperature consistent, preferably between 65 and 68°F.
Bottle after 1 to 2 weeks when fermentation is complete, using enough priming sugar for a medium level of carbonation. (0.9 oz of priming sugar per gallon)

Notes: The 'Rolled Oats' in the grist are actually steel cut oats that I simmered separately in hot water and added at the end of the mash.
Don't skimp on the 2 hour boil!
3 x USO5 packets + 4 oz WY1084 slurry from a previous stout.
Mineral: 0.5tsp per 5gal each of Gyp/Ep/CaCl. Used 100% RO water.
Yes, those are hops in the mash. Brewers Gold hops produce a great dried dark fruit/plumb flavor when mashed which is good for this style.
Racked to keg from primary on 2/13/15. Hit FG target of 1.020 (5 Brix). Tastes incredible! Body and booze for days.
Going to store in keg for 2 months at fridge temp, then force carb and bottle-gun this sucker before extended cellaring. |

Notes: YEAST
*Make a starter: use 2 vials of Wyeast 3724 pitched into 2 L of media (containing 205 g of DME)
*Start 24 hours ahead of pitch into Wort
MASHING
*grain bill is 12 lbs, so estimate 1.5 quarts H20 per pound of grain = 18 quarts (4.5 gallon)
MASHING STEPS
1) Add the 18 quarts of water (164*F) to mash tun
2) Allow to sit 60 minutes (151*F)
3) Drain out 1-2 quarts of the wort
4) Pour back into top of mash tun GENTLY as to not disturb the grain bed - this is part of the "vorlauf" step in which you force the grain to become its own blockage/filter for the sweet wort to go through (stop any large pieces)
5) Drain 1-2 quarts and repeat until there are no large grain pieces coming through (3-4 times)
6) Drain the mash tun completely; note volume for future reference. Set aside this wort (will not re-add)
7) Now add half sparge water (1.5 gallons at 170*F) & stir gently to get the grain bed sugars and enzymes back into solution
8) Allow to sit 10 minutes
9) Repeat Vorlauf until runnings are clear, alternate with the other half of the sparge water
10) Drain all into your kettle, this is your WORT :) |
