Notes: - Brewed on 22 June 18
- Scraped wild yeast from 2 x petri dishes (very funky!) that had been sitting for approx. 2 months undisturbed...no idea on weight/volume of yeast...rehydrated in about 1/4 cup of sterilized water. House is kept at 71 degrees but the experiment is being kept in the pantry which gets a little warmer due to outside wall...probably 75 degrees avg.
- Once pitched, no activity for 24 hours, then vigorous fermentation for about 12 hours, then no visible fermentation for 24 hours (may have been a loose seal), then fermentation restarted and has been going slowly since (today is 4 July). Hints of banana with a little funk...not unpleasant.
- Once fermentation appears to cease I will take a gravity reading, wait 3 days and measure again. If no change, and calculates to at least 5% ABV I will bottle, charge, and wait 2 weeks before tasting. If below 5% I will add a 1/4 teaspoon of Safale US-05 to see if fermentation restarts.
- Took a gravity reading 7 Jul 18...1.022 (4.59%). Got a better whiff...quite a pleasant smell.
- Took a gravity reading 15 Jul 18...1.022 (4.59%). The appears yeast is settling out because the beer is now very clear. I added a very small amount of Safale US-05 to see if it would finish up any residual sugars. I took a chance and put 4-5 drops on my tongue...great flavor...hints of pepper. Reminds me of a saison. If there are any residual sugars I expect the added yeast to begin work within 24 hours. I will take a final gravity reading and bottle next week.
- Took a gravity reading 18 Jul 18...1.022 (4.59%). The addition of the Safale US-05 did not appear to spark any additional fermentation. So I added 2 oz of honey directly to the beer...not sure how smart this is, but I swished it around to dissolve the honey. This time, once fermentation stops I will take a gravity reading and bottle immediately. Still smells great.
- 19 Jul 18: 24 hours and no indication of activity. There may not be enough oxygen for the yeast so I'm going to do something else I'm not sure is such a good idea...I'm going to oxygenate the beer for about 5 secs to see if that gets anything going. |

Notes: Two rounds of dry hops. The first was 3 days in primary fermentation. The second was in secondary fermentation for 4 days prior to kegging.
The beer was kegged, crash cooled for 24 hours and then force carbonated with a diffusion stone at 25 psi for 12 hours. It was then placed under 5 psi CO2 and dispensed. |

Notes: We used hazelnut extract (2-1 oz. bottles) added to bottling bucket, and prime with corn sugar or DME as usual.
This seems to be way too much extract. (Bakto Flavors - Hazelnut Flavoring) The hazelnut finished seemed harsh. Use less next time.
