Notes: Brew date: 06/08/2014. I hit my target OG of 1.066! The battery of my thermometer stopped working as I was about to pitch my yeast, so I can't be sure of the pitching temp. I waited at least an hour, so I'm sure it went down to room temp. I set up my swamp cooler with sanitized water and four frozen bottles. I will plan to swap out these bottles every 8 hours or so.
Yeast: US-05 is an American ale yeast for well balanced beers with low diacetyl (butter) a very crisp end palate.
Malts: Mostly light extract with some amber for colour and pronounced maltiness. Carafoam for body and head retention. Crystal 40 for slight caramel notes, colour and balance with the high IBUs. Had extra Abbey malt laying around, so I thought I would give it a whirl. Expect honey and complexity, hopefully it adds to the balance.
Hops:
Zythos (60/30/15/0/Dry Hop) Distinct tropical (pineapple) and citrus tones with slight pine and spicy characteristics. Newly developed, best for hoppy west-coast style IPAs.
Domestic Hallertau (45/15/0)
06/14: Found a crack in the lid of my primary. Checked FG and it was 1.018, so I will transfer to secondary and dry hop. Initial sample is sweet, slightly sour, not that good. Mind you, it is 930am, maybe that plays a factor. Is 1.018 too high for a FG? Perhaps there is too much sugar left, adding unneeded sweetness. The other HoYB had the same OG/FG and tasted great, so I'm not too worried.
Bottling Day: 06/24. 3.45 oz of corn sugar (3/4 cup).
An American-style India Pale Ale, dry hopped in the west-coast style with distinct tropical and citrus notes. However, it has a twist with slight pine characteristics, reminiscent of the Canadian wilderness.
Tasting notes on 07/24: Pours a good thumb of head. Colour is a deep amber, almost a brown. Not as light as I thought it would be. Mostly tropical fruit on the nose with slight grassy and piney notes. Like walking through a dewey forest early in the morning. Sharp bittering up front on the tongue. Full bodied and a very strong malt backbone. Fairly sweet and notes of caramel. It's hard to get to detect any fruit. Odd. I remember it tasting better a couple of bottles. Can the taste really change that much bottle to bottle? I'll try another one after the weekend and check.

Notes: Silver in River Valley 2022 Competition 22/05/2022
Mix 3.9kg of WW Apple Juice concentrate with 21.1L water to make up to 25L volume.
Add yeast when liquid is at pitching temp.
Allow to ferment out to 1.010.
Add 40 grams of Black Doris Plum Cider Powder.
Transfer to keg and chill to prevent any further fermentation.
Our Apple Cider is made from the highest quality apples, usually 3 types being Braeburn, Royal Gala and Jazz, depending on the season. The result is a very clean and crisp cider. The apple flavours are light and pleasant and the overall taste is refreshing. We suggest to ferment to 1.010 SG and put the cooling on to stop fermentation as this will leave some residual sweetness without making the beverage too sweet. At this SG the alcohol will be 3.85%. If you want to hit 5% at this final SG, add an extra 600 grams of dextrose at the start. If you let the yeast ferment all the way the final gravity will be about 1.006 which is an alcohol content of 4.38%. If you want to hit 5% at this final SG, add an extra 350 grams of dextrose. |

Notes: Directions:
1. Spread the pumpkin into a shallow pan and bake at 350°F for 60 minutes.
2. Tie the crystal 20L and chocolate malt in a small mesh hop bag. Place the bag in 5.5 gallons of water in a 7.5 gallon pot and immerse the grain.
3. Begin to heat, making sure mesh bag isn’t sitting directly on the bottom of the pot. Remove the grain bag when the temperature reaches 170°F.
4. Bring wort to a vigorous boil. As water is heating, slowly add 4.8 pounds of light dry malt extract and the baked pumpkin, stirring constantly until completely dissolved. When the boil begins, add 1/2 ounce Northern Brewer hops in a mesh bag.
5. After a total of 55 minutes has passed, add the maple syrup and the pumpkin pie spice.
6. 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.
7. Cool wort by placing pot in ice bath or by using a wort chiller until it is at 65°F. Transfer to sanitized fermentor (either a carboy or a fermentation bucket).
8. 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 1.057. Cover fermentor with a sanitized stopper and airlock.
9. Agitate vigorously for at least 5 minutes or aerate using pure oxygen for 1 minute. Add 1 package of Safale US-05
10. Ferment for at least 14 days at 64-68°F
11. Bottle after conditioning is complete, using enough priming sugar for a medium level of carbonation.
