Notes: Second brewing of experimental usage of sour cherry concentrate. First was delicious but going for more. Hoping to achieve extra sweetness with addition of wheat, corn, and 2 hr boil. More complex sour flavors with Philly sour yeast. A couple week on toasted oak should add barrel aged taste.

*Cherry juice added in secondary. I included it with fermentable ingredients to calculate total gravity/ alcohol.

Notes: Invert sugar instructions

for 21 lbs sugar, use 3.25 Gal water.
Boil 20 mins
NOTE: USE LESS BAKING SODA AND ACID THAN DESCRIBED BELOW. I added 4 mL to a 12 gallon batch and the pH was < 3. Had to adjust up to 5 with baking soda. 5 is the ideal pH for inverting sugar.
This recipe won't need any baking soda at the end for the yeast since the pH is 5

Invert syrups that are cooked to develop color are not traditional--they are a homebrewing product. They taste good, but are different from say Ragus invert or brewers sugar.

I use Billingtons light muscovado sugar at varying percentages, with the remainder coming from cane sugar.

1 - 15% Light muscovado
2 - 30% light muscovado
3 - 60% light muscovado
Mix 1 kg sugar with 200ml distilled water. Heat to 160F, add phosphoric acid (Per kg sugar: 0.75ml 85% phosphoric or 1.5ml 88% lactic acid). Hold for 20'. Add 0.9g baking soda. Cool. You can also add 20% Dextrose to make it into a solid-ish block instead of a syrup.

Lately I've just been adding sugar directly to the kettle without inverting.

Cane sugar (inverted or not) + Molasses would be a more direct replacement too. 25g molasses (I like Wholesome Organic), 975g cane sugar for Invert #2.

Notes: Started 3.5gal DI H2O. with 1.25g CaSO4, 2.5g CaCl2, 0.75g MgSO4, 0.75g NaCl. Grist is 0.5lb flaked oats, 5oz carapils, 5lb Rahr Pale ale malt (2L).

1lb4oz strawberries. started frozen. cooked these down at medium heat in a splash of water and 2 tbsp sugar until thick, foamy, and most of the water evaporated.

peeled 1oz lemon peel

Brought water up to temp and added salts. Mashed in with the entire grist including the flaked oats @151F, temp dropped to 147F, kept mash around 147-151 for 1h.

@ start of boil, added 6g Magnum Hops 12%AA

@ 20min left in boil, added 3g each of Amarillo (9.3%), citra(12.8%AA), galaxy (16.9%AA) hops. all hops from artisan hops except Amarillo hops which are BSG

Cardamom: I took one green cardamom pod, lightly toasted it in a pan on the stove, then crushed the pod. I added 2 total of the crushed black seeds from the middle of the pod to the batch. Lots of people have said that cardamom is very overpowering so I'm trying to be conservative and not ruin this beer lol.

Immediately after the boil is finished, I added another 3g of each hop, as well as my cooked down strawberries, cardamom seeds, and my lemon peel. Shortly after adding I wasn't really happy with the amount of strawberry aroma, so I added 2 more handfuls of frozen berries. I stirred immediately after the addition of these ingredients, and did not stir again after, I let the wort sit off the heat for 15min, then began chilling the wort.

I am using the "little DIPA" yeast strain from omega yeast. This is an older pack from the brew store (MFD 07-2024) (this is 03-2025). This is a 150mL pack, I will pitch 75mL. Hopefully this is viable! Saving the other 75mL in a sanitized Tupperware in the fridge for later use. This strain is designed to express some anti-diacetyl enzyme (called ALDC - not sure how this works), which may help with hop creep later? We will see!

not really enough water boiled off: OG 1.042 @Room temp

I'M CHANGING THE PLAN! Just going to bottle this without dry hopping. DOing a fruited light beer I guess!
Bottling with 2.5oz (71g) table sugar.

Final gravity before bottling: 1.000
