Notes: Recipe Notes:

2-Row: Base malt, slightly toastier malt flavour well-suited for pale ales.

CaraMunich I: Results in increased fullness, heightened malt aroma, full, round flavor, deep, saturated color. Own: sweeter but lighter bread notes than victory.

Victory: Use up to 15% in a mash. Gives deep gold to light brown color and biscuity, toasty, baking bread, and nutty flavors. Excellent for brown ales. Own: very baking bread-y, absolutely delicious when biting into.

Amarillo: Alpha 6-9%. Amarillo hops are a new classic for hoppy American ales. Combines floral, tropical, citrus and grapefruit notes. Quality late addition hop and for dry-hopping.

FF: A flavour and aroma hop with distinct tropical, citrus, floral, grapefruit and lemon notes. A versatile hop that can be used in almost any pale brew; Lager, Kolsch, ESB, Pilsner, IPA, Pale Ale & Belgian Ales.

Willamette: A quality aroma hop and a popular American-grown version of Fuggles. Often used in both American and British style ales, this hop produces flavours/aromas of earthy, fruity, floral, and slightly woody. Great multi-purpose home brewing ingredient.

Nelson Sauvin: High Alpha Acid, dual-purpose hop known for it's white wine fruitiness and flavours of crushed gooseberry. This distinctive hop derives it's name from Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Great for American IPA's, Pale Ales, Pale Lagers. Beer ingredient for home beer making.

Yeast: A classic in American ale yeast that offers excellent fermentation performance. Quick, clean and well- attenuating are the chief properties of this ale yeast. Most comparable to "Chico"-style strains. Stays clean, even at slightly higher than average temperatures (up to 78F). Higher flocculation than most other strains of the style.

BIAB Procedure

Brew365 calculator.

Parameters:
Batch size 3.2 g
Trub loss 0.5 g
Mash thickness 1.5qts/lb
Grain temp 70 f
Wort shrinkage 4%
Grain absorption 0.13g/lb
Boil off 15%

1. Start with strike water of 8.2L (2.16G) @ 164F.
2. Put in 5.75 lbs of grains.
3. Rest at 153F for 60 mins.
4. Assuming grain absorption of 0.13G/lb, should end up with 1.38G in brew kettle.
5. Prepare for dunk sparge by adding 11.8L (3.13G) to secondary brew kettle. Add grain bag for 15 minutes @ 170F. Squeeze.
6. Begin partial mash out in primary brew kettle for 15 minutes @ 170F.
7. Add sparge water to primary brew kettle. This should result in 4.5G of pre-boil wort.
8. Begin boil as usual

Went from 8.2L to 5.9L for mash. Dunk sparge was 11.8L, assuming 11L after sparge, roughly about 4.5G pre-boil.

Pre-Boil Gravity reading: 1.02 @ 145F

Once again, my thermo broke, just as I was about to re-hydrate my yeast. What can explain this!? I'll just pitch dry now. I have never had ill effects in the past.

Very active signs of fermentation in the fridge by Sunday afternoon (08/03), but it probably started earlier. It should be done NO LATER than Friday (08/08).

08/06: Gravity reads 1.013. Begin dry hopping. The taste is actually quite fruity - much more than I expected. Very light body, but maybe that will change with the C02. Hopefully it turns out alright.

Update: Tried kegging for the first time. I wanted to force carb it by shaking it, since Rob and Sean were supposed to come up. I didnt fully connect the gas line to the co2 regulator, so I think I exposed the beer to oxygen when force carbing. Came out tasting terrible. Next, time I'll really check my connection and force carb it over 2-3 days rather than 15 minutes.

Notes: Used BF Starter Calculator: 9 oz light DME in 2.65L 24 hrs prior.
Brewed according to recipe. Started boil with 7.25 gallons in kettle.
OG = 1.054
Pitched starter and ended up with 6.75 in fermenter.
FG = 1.008
ABV = 6%
Bottled up 66 12 oz'rs
Recipe produced an excellent Amber Colored, Hoppy American Pale Ale.
This beer scored 42/50 and took 3rd place in a local homebrew contest. It was likely the simplest beer entered.
Sept 11: I have brewed this beer 3 times now. The last 2 times I used Omega's Voss Kveik in a starter. Brew Saturday, add 2nd dry hop on Wednesday, bottle the next Saturday. Still Excellent!

Notes: We accidentally did a higher mash temp than intended when testing this recipe, so we likely ended up with more unfermentable sugars. Also lost quite a bit during the boil (again, higher temp, and cold air with an outdoor brew), so we ended up topping things off a bit (added 1 quart of water), and had about 6.75 gal at pitching.

This was separated into two batches for fermentation. After some experimentation, the recipe has been altered. One batch had cacao nibs added during primary, one secondary... our goal was a hint of chocolate, but if you want more of a chocolate kick, add them in secondary. Also bumped the extract to 3 oz for sufficient flavor.

Overall, it's a somewhat malty sweet taste, with nutty overtones, and a slight chocolate finish.

Notes: Also changed to using 34/70 for yeast and replaced maris otter with american 2row.

Changed hops schedule because I read that is how they do it at Anchor.

Also changed from 60 to 80 on the crystal.

Added a half ounce dry hop after fermentation because I have read many people who have toured brewery and Anchor says they dry hop with Northern Brewer.

Notes: Starter made from 1.5 L water and 100g light DME, boiled down to 1L. Make starter Friday morning, into fridge Sunday morning, brew Monday.

Pour from 8 gal to sanitized 5 gal kettle post boil so it will fit in ice bath.

Speaking of, buy more ice beforehand!

Cool to 65, whirlpool for 20 minutes, siphon from kettle to fermenter (through strainer?)

Ferment @ 65 until SG stable for 3 days, raise to 68 for diacetyl rest for 3 days. Then bottle!
