Notes: Mash at 149 for 60 minutes. After 60 min. Raise temp to 168 for mash out. Sparge with 2.8 gallons of 170 degree water. Top up with water (if neeeded) to reach 6 gallons of 1.049 wort.
Boil for 60 minutes adding hops as noted.

NOTE: recipe calls for Cascade with AA of 8.2 - you may need to adjust your amounts to reach the desired AAU!
4.1 AAU @ 60 min
6.2 AAU @ 45 min
simply .5 oz of hops at 0 min.... (up it to .75 if you are using hops with less than 8.2 AA)
Just 1 oz of dry hop no matter the AA.

Cool wort to 65ish and pitch yeast and ferment at 67 for 4 days. On day 4 add dry hops and let rest for another 3 days.
Once final gravity is reached (approximately 7 days total) bottle or keg and carbonated.

Notes: Batch size: 3.4G
Grain Bill: 8lbs
Boil time: 60 mins
Trub Loss: 0.2G
Mash Thickness: 1.5 qts/lbs
Target mash temp: 152

Wort Shrinkage: 4%
Grain Absorption: 0.13 gal/lbs
% Boiloff: 10%

Total water needed: 5.14G
Mash: 2.66G
Sparge: 2.55G
Strike temp: 164.33F
Pre-boil wort: 4.17G

1. Start with strike water of 10.1L (2.66G) @ 164.33F.
2. Put in 8 lbs of grains.
3. Rest at 152F for 60 mins.
4. Assuming grain absorption of 0.13G/lb, should end up with 1.62G in brew kettle.
5. Prepare for dunk sparge by adding 9.7L (2.55G) 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 4.51G of pre-boil wort.

Took twenty minutes to get to 164F. Didn't drop below 160. 158 after 5 minutes. 155 after 10 minutes. 150 after 50 minutes.

Shit, forgot to add 0.25 lbs of flaked wheats.

Hydrometer is reading 1.04 in water.

Took 25 minutes to boil.

Ended up with 4.6 gallons of pre-boil wort... Hydrometer reads 1.04 @ 118F = 1.048...way below my target OG. If I drop 4 points, its actually 1.044. If 1.044 with 4.7 gallons of PB wort, then efficiency is 75.5%, not bad. Will add 0.75 lbs of corn sugar @ 15 minutes to bump OG.

52 minutes after boil to get to 80F with ice bath.

Now have 1.070 OG with 4.0 gallons of beer! I guess its more like 1.066 based on calibration... That is 77% efficiency!

6 days after pitching, FG is at 1.020 - two gravity points higher than expected. 72% attenuation versus 70%, not so bad. Started to dry hop with 2 oz.

Bottle Carbonation: 2.4 Volumes of C02. 2.9 oz of corn sugar with a cup of boiled water for 3.5 gallons.

First taste on November 13, 2014 - 15 days after bottling. App: completely opaque. Decent head if poured right into clean glass. Aroma: fruity and grassy notes. Taste: Bitter and dry. Fruity. MF: high carbonation. Light-medium body. Overall: really good! even after two weeks in the bottles.

Description: Find the lightness in this deep, dark beer. While it may be completely opaque, reminiscent of a black hole, the aroma and taste will remind you a beautiful nebula, similar to that of an IPA with a dry bitterness coupled with fruity and grassy hoppy notes. Not for the faint of heart. Drink if you dare. 6.1% abv, 50 IBUs.

Tasting on november 25: off-white head that fades quickly. Extremely black with hoppy, dry taste and bitter aftertaste.

Notes: Chill the wort down to 65f, pitch and let it self rise to about 82-83f and try to hold it there. The yeast will keep the temp there for about 5 days when fermentation is about 80% done (about 1.018) and start to chill down to 65f until you hit terminal gravity at 1.012 which should take 2 days. After this rack off into a secondary (I did kegs for both as I keg conditioned) and chill to 50f for 7 weeks, then carb however you want.

Brew day.
OG = 1.050
Going to try pitching at fermentation temp. Waiting for wort to get from 64F to 52F

2/5/2016
Pitched yeast when both yeast slurry and wort reached 52F

2/20/2016
Blow-off tube still bubbling about every 5 seconds.

5/16/2016
Life got busy and I never transferred this to the keg to lager. It just sat on the yeast cake. Moved it to the keg today and will put on 20psi for a few days and see what happens....

Notes: Kettle Sour Procedure:
1) Mash at normal temp (67 C), boil for 15 min to sanitise.
2) Cool to 40 C, test pH and adjust to pH 4.5 with lactic.
3) Pitch yoghurt and purge with CO2, ferment at 40 C with heat wrap till pH 3.5

Batch #4 - 3/12/20 (Eff.: 68 %, Att.: %, ABV: %)
Made for the guys at Evolve Espresso
- Mash vol.: 31.5 L, Pre (sour)-boil vol.: 29 L, Batch vol.: 23 L
Substitutes:
- Gladfield Red Back (500g) in for Carared (550g)
- Wai-iti (finally got it) in for Riwaka, straight swap
- Everything else the same as previous
Pre-soured with 13 ml of Lactic acid (88%) and left for 48 hrs.
10/12/20 - SG: 1011 (Tilt), upped temp to 22 C
11/12/20 - SG: 1010 (Tilt)
12/12/20 - SG: 1009 (Tilt), added vanilla extract (Queen brand), rose water and frozen raspberries (1.5kg) before cold crashing.

Batch #3 - 19/01/20 (Eff.: 61 %, Att.: 75 %, ABV: 4.9 %)
- Mash vol.: 31.5 L, Pre-boil vol.: 28 L, Batch vol.: 23 L
Substitutes: Dropped pilsner malt down to 5 kg from 5.5 to bring ABV down a bit and make it a bit more 'sessionable'.
- pH 5.87 (still dropping slowly), added 10 ml (88%) lactic acid to pH 5.04, added another 3 ml to pH 4.89, added another 2 ml. (15 ml in total), pitched 2 table spoons of yoghurt, purged with CO2 and set temp to 39 C.
21/01/20 - Boiled at 10:30 AM, 27 L volume. Cooled slowly to 20 C as the day was fucking stinking hot and the pool and ground water were warm, dry pitched x2 US-05 into non-aerated wort (I'll see if this affects the beer)
24/01/20 - SG: 1021
27/01/20 - SG: 1014
28/01/20 - FG: 1013, 1.5 kg of frozen raspberries added, cold crashed.
01/02/20 - Kegged and carbed, PSI for 2:45 min.
Added: 15 ml of Rose water and 30 ml of vanilla extract
05/02/20 - This one is a banger, could be the tastiest one yet.

Batch #2 - 13/10/19 (Eff. 65%, Vol. 22.5, Att. 80%)
- Added potassium metabisulfite to this batch pre-mash.
- pH 5.87 (OG: 1051) - 12 ml Lactic acid to bring pH to 4.9
- Same heating set up and water profile as Batch #1
15/10/19 - After 48 hrs pH 3.79, tastes same as first batch (strangely) with a little funky peach, ferm. temp. sat around 37 C for that time.
- Had to cut the boil down to about 35 min as I was rushed to finish, dry pitched x2 yeast to aerated wort.
25/10/19 - FG: 1011, added 1.5 kg frozen raspberries, tasting quite sour but nothing crazy.
1/11/19 - Cold crashed
3/11/19 - Kegged and carbed through purged line and keg. Seems to taste a little 'heavier' than the first but probably just confirmation bias on the higher ABV. Cafe boys tasted slight biscuit malt finish.

Procedure - https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/funkwerks-5-tips-kettle-sours/

Batch #1 - 30/06/19 (Eff. 61%, Vol. 21 L, Att. ??%)
- OG: 1050 after 15 min sanitise boil, pH 5.42, added 5 ml Lactic acid 88% (drops to pH 5.00), added another 4 ml Lactic (drops to pH 4.80)
- Used heat wrap and temp controller set to max. (39 C) and left covered in lounge room.
1/7/19 - pH 3.75 at 5 PM (26 hrs) mildly sour with a fruity (maybe peach sweet tea) flavour, not bad at all, left it carry on for a few more hours.
2/7/19 - pH 3.57 at 8 AM, tasting still of peach tea and smells like wet malt and damp dog. Boil started at 8:15 AM, boil shortened to 50 min, chilled and aerated, x2 packs of yeast dry pitched and aerated again after 40 min.
10/7/19 - SG: 1019 (hyd.) 1034 (refract.), tastes pretty sour, added 1.5 kg of raspberries loose and it started bubbling again pretty hard overnight.
11/7/19 - Cold crashed to 1.5 C
13/7/19 - Added 30 ml Vanilla extract and 15 ml of Rose water, kegged and carbed at 30 psi for 2:30 min. Tastes of raspberry up front with subtle vanilla and a hint of rose water. Terrible idea to add the raspberries without a hop sock, they are wreaking havoc with the keg poppets and taps.

Substitutes
- Gladfield Pilsner instead of Pale Malt
- Gladfield Dark Crystal & Gladfield Shepards Delight (50/50 mix) instead of Simpsons DRC
- US 05 instead of Belle Saison (I hate saison yeast flavours)
Notes (see photo of recipe)
- Riwaka instead of Wai-iti hops.
- Live yogurt to add lacto. only, couldn't get only Lacto yogurt at Woolies, went with Vaalia (as per photos).
- Suggested water profile: CaCl (110ppm) & CaSO4 (55ppm)
- CO2 purge the fermenter and bubble CO2 through it as it sours to drive off 02.

Notes: Session IPA Single Hop - um único tipo de lúpulo (Mosaic)

Session IPA é uma leitura mais leve da India Pale Ale, com ainda mais drinkability (menor corpo e teor alcoólico que o usual).

Cor: acobreada, pequena turbidez, média formação de espuma e retenção.
Aroma: bastante frutada, maracujá, manga madura
Sabor: lúpulado mas com amargor bastante macio. Discreta presença de malte

Recomendações:
- armazenar a garrafa em pé na geladeira
- consumir o quanto antes para aproveitar ao máximo os aromas do lúpulo
- temperatura de serviço: 4º ~ 6º
- copo: IPA Glass, tulipa (vide imagem abaixo)

OG ble 1048
SG dag 11: 1017 tanken sier 10-11 grader, men med kvikksølvtermometer målte jeg den til 8 grader.
SG dag 16: 1015. Tanken sier 13 grader, kvikksølvet sier 10.
SG dag 21: 1015. Temp 13/10,5. Satte tanken varmere over natta.
