Notes: Aerate the wort very well. Pitch at 21C.
Ferment for about 1 week.
Serve about 2 weeks after bottling/kegging.
Many Germans roll the bottle on the table before opening it to get the yeast sediment well mixed with the beer. This is an option you might want to try for authenticity.

Notes: Steep to convert the grains at 150 degrees for 45 minutes in 5 qts of water.
- for every 2 lbs of grain, use 1 gallon of water. 12oz + 12oz + 6oz + 6oz (2.25 lbs) = 5 qts.
Sparge with 1/2 gallon water (150 degrees)
Add enough water to bring wort volume to 2.5 gallons
Add late addition fermentables (Wheat DME and Candi Syrup) at 45 minutes into 60 minute boil time (ie, 15 minutes) |

Notes: TROIS PISTOLES CLONE
Steep at 65-71C for 45 minutes in a grain bag then rinse thoroughly as you fill up the brew pot.
Don't use too much star anise spice.
Wait at least 2 months before drinking this bad boy (consider racking to secondary fermentation). You could even let it sit 6-12 months to ensure whatever bits of star anise that made it into the fermenter have mellowed out.
Instructions for making inverted sugar (scale as necessary):
1 lb sugar (better to use pure cane sugar - I used the brown variant)
1 tsp lemon juice
1.5 cups water
Place all ingredients in a pan
Bring to a boil
Boil for approximately 20 minutes
Original inspiration was from QUAD PISTOLES recipe below. I scaled and tweaked it a little to reduced the alcohol content, and to bring up the IBU a little (as usual!). I don't have access inverted sugar or liquid malt extract. I crushed whole star anise seeds instead of using powder.
Due to the homebrew shop limitation, I made the following swap:
Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L --> Caramunich III
Biscuit Malt (23.0 SRM) --> Melanoidin Malt
Yeast strain
etc...

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. |
