Notes: Brew Day
1. Steep grains in one gallon of water for 25min at 155°F. After steeping, pour the remaining water, slowly pour the remaining 2.75 gallons over the grain bag (I had my bag in a strainer).

2. Add corn sugar and DME. Stir. Bring to a boil. It's a 60m boil. At the 15 minute mark, throw in a half whirfloc tab, and put the wort chiller in the boiling wort.

3. Hop schedule (I use a hop bag):
60m — .75oz Centennial
10m — .50oz Galaxy
5m — .25oz Simcoe
0m — 1oz Cascade
0m — .25oz Centennial

Cool the wort down to 180°F. Once achieved, add the 0m additions. Let these sit for 15 minutes as the wort cools. After 15 minutes, pull hop bag out.

4. Cool to 68°F. Pour wort through a funnel with a strainer into a glass carboy. I used 5gallon. Pitch the yeast and ferment.

5. I ferment for 14 days.

Bottling Day
6. Make priming solution. 2 cups of water to 4oz of corn sugar. Boil for five minutes. Cover. Set aside.

7. Pour priming solution into bottling bucket.

8. Rack beer onto bottling bucket. Stir carefully for a minute or two.

9. Bottle.

10. Wait.

11. Enjoy.

12. Brew again.

Notes: $27 half.

Recipe adjusted for bottling i.e. OG left 5 points below required to allow for extra provided by bottling sugar. Same applies to ABV - adjusted for extra 0.5% at bottling.

Briess Golden Light or Amber (if amber no need for crystal grains) - (if crystal needed add 75gms of 60 Lovibond) .

Liquid malt dissolved in fermenter with 1 litre of boiling water.

0 minutes hops added in portions every 5 minutes and 5 degrees of total 20-25 minute hopstand starting at 90c. Ice may be needed to reduce temp by 5 degrees at each stage of hop additions - last addition at 70c.

Increased 0 minute addition due to Throwback IPA recipe tasting quite light in hop flavor - add largest portions at 80c, 75c and 70c to add flavor and avoid actual increase in IBUs.

Yeast also changed to US-05 as Notty seemed to strip hop flavor from Throwback recipe.

In fermenter 10 Jan. OG check showed it low at 1034 but may have been poorly mixed wort. 1015 on 14th. Dry hopped 14th.

OG checked 4 days apart and staying at 1015 - equates to very poor attenuation from S-05 (65%)- expect my calcs were wrong somewhere or PPG for malto is too low.

Notes: WOW I usually do not like wheat beers but WOW! This is taste amazing. Very simular to blue moon but with a heavier mouth feel and hint of honey in the finish. I will brew this one again!

I cracked A bottle for a few friends while I was having a little beer tasting party at my house and watching the Portland Timbers mash FC Dallas for the 3rd time this year. The beer was not yet carbanated but had a very distinct honey flaver and honestly tasted just like blue moon.

Notes: Directions

1) Take 2.5 gallons of water heat up to 150. Turn off heat and put grains in steeping bag. Steep for 20-30min.

2) Take grains out, put in malt extract. Bring to boil.

3) At the beginning of the boil, add 1 oz of Willamette hops.

4) Boil for 60 min. Turn off heat, pour 6 oz of maple syrup and cool down (that should be half of the maple syrup in the package). It’s okay to eye ball it. Just look at half of the bottle.

.

5) After it is cooled down, put into fermenter and fill up to 5 gallons. Pitch yeast

6) Let the amber ferment for 1-2 weeks. Then its time to bottle. As you can see I have marked my maple syrup so anyone who comes over to my house will not use the left over 6 oz of maple syrup.

7) For bottling use the other 6 oz of maple syrup as your priming sugar. To do that, take about a cup of water, put in sauce pan bring to boil, then add the 6 oz of maple syrup and heat up for about a min. Turn off the heat, and let it cool down. Take that mixture and pour into bottling bucket, then siphon beer on top of the mixture, stir around then bottle.

*If kegging pour that mixture into the bottom of your keg. Purge your keg, but don’t pressurize other then the inital to fill up the head space. Let it sit for a bit of a week. You might have to adjust the carbonation level.

8) Drink in about 2-3 weeks.

The reason why I do things the way I do:

Combination of 3lbs of Amber and 3 lbs of Golden light

The reason why I chose this combination is that I really want to bring out sweet tones in the brew. Amber malt extract is created from crystal malt and 2 row brewers malt. When converting amber malt extract into all grain recipes you actually look at it as 95% 2 row and 5% crystal malt (60L or 80L depending on your school of thought). I really wanted to accent on the sweetness of the maple syrup. I knew when making the recipe that I was going to add crystal malts to the recipe so I only added 3 lbs of the amber malt extract because I didn’t want a crystal malt overload. Having this balance between 3 lbs of amber and 3 lbs of golden light will allow room to add different speciality grains which help in adding complexity to the beer.

.5 lbs of CaraVienna.

Odd grain to chose right? Not used in a ton of recipes, used in this one! I like this grain a lot. Cara just means caramel. It’s a weird abreviation that home brewers use. Caravienna malt adds sweetness and body to this beer. It will add a bit of color, not a lot though since its only 20-24L. This grain does add a very light nutty sweetness to the beer which is hard to substitute. Substitutes for this could be 20L crystal malt but it would lack the nutty aspect. CaraVienna does have a nice aroma also, kinda bready in my opinion.

.5 lbs of Crystal 40L

Between all of the crystal malts, I really enjoy crystal 40L and crystal 60L. I honestly don’t have too big of a reason other then that’s normally what all my recipes will have in them when I end up using crsytal malt. Normally at home brew shops they’ll have: 20L, 40L, 60L, 80L, & 120L . So 40L crystal malt is on the lower spectrum of the crystal malts. When you get into the higher crystals they have almost a raisin like flavor to them. I wanted to stay away from that flavor in this beer (it’s good for stouts and porters) so I used 40L, if you couldn’t get 40L I would go with 20L or 60L but not anything higher then 60L. If you go higher in the crystal malts you might end up covering up the maple syrup.

.5 lbs cara pils.

This grain balances the beer without adding any color. Also this grain is great for head retention which is defintly what we want for a beer like this.

1 oz Willamette Hops 60 min boil

No aroma hops in this beer. I didn’t want aroma hops because the maple syrup is the main thing that is the focus point. Having hops in the aroma I think could take away from the maple syrup. Willamette are kinda woody in profile as well as a bit spicy. I figure keep earth (woody) with earth (maple syrup from trees). This type of hop is a lower alpha hop generally around 4.5%. If you wanted to add an aroma hop I would stay as low as possible for the alpha. Examples would be: Liberty – 3.4% or Crystal – 2.8%. I would not go to high on the alpha because you’ll cover up the maple syrup.

Maple Syrup For Flame Out & In Bottling Process

I like to use both Maple Syrup at the end of the boil and also in the bottling process. I don’t like to boil it for too long because I just feel that it loses some of the essence of the Maple syrup. When you use Maple syrup for bottling you’ll be able to smell it when you open the bottles. Kinda reminds me of pancakes when you open the bottle.

I would suggest to let the beer age in the bottles for about 2-3 weeks. If you ended up wanting to add more maple syrup or adding more in the fermentation process you should defiantly let it stay in the bottles for more then 2-3 weeks. If not, the beer might taste hot.

Safale – 04 or White labs 002 or White Labs 013 or White labs 023.

I like Safale 04 for this recipe. It leaves more residual sugars meaning that the beer will be sweeter. Now that is what I’m talking about! If you chose a stronger yeast then what will happen is that most of the sugars will just be converted into alcohol, making the beers ABV pretty high up there. If that’s what your going for, then leave it in the bottles for more then 2-3 weeks. The other white labs that I have listed above will also give a similar effect as the Safale -04. I would not use WLP001 on this one.

Conclusion:

It’s good, it’s different, and worthy of a repeat beer for next year. I particuarlly like this beer because it’s nice to drink when the weather starts to change and leaves you with this refreshing taste in your mouth. The hops are going to be on the light side, if that’s a bit of a turn off to you this may not be the beer for you. You could add another ounce with 30 left in the boil but I wouldn’t want to do to much more (as in ounces) then that because it will just take away from the maple syrup smell. Also I wouldn’t put hops in to much past 30 min because it will add to much aroma. I would not put to much of any hop in this beer because I wouldn’t want my palate to be in shock.

The thing that I like most about the amber is that you are starting off with a beer that is already sweet, to build off of that I feel is not that hard. So in my opinion the 8 Steps Maple Syrup Amber is a great transition beer into the fall.

If you think that I’m being particularly up tight with the Maple Syrup and afraid of “taking away from it” let me explain. I figure that this beer has one purpose, maple syrup. If you take that away from it, it’s just like any amber. So when I’m telling my friends, “Hey try my Maple Syrup Amber” the only reaction I want is, “I CAN TASTE THE MAPLE SYRUP! NOW THAT’S COOL”. A response such as, “I can’t taste it.” or “It’s pretty hoppy” would be a failure for what I was going after . With that said, feel free to take from it, build off of it, or leave it, in my opinion this beer will set you up for some great reactions with friends and family though.
