Notes: Steep 1lb Pale Malt in 2.5-3 gallons at 155 degrees. I used a wet hop ratio of 5:1 for my homegrown Chinook hops. IBU's hard to determine with homegrown hops but it did come out with a nice hoppy presence. Fresh hops were definitely noticeable. |

Notes: * Dissolve the DME 1.5 lbs at a time in 2 qts warm (105-120f) D.I. water.
* Then mix with remaining water to come up to 14qts incluing vol increase from DME. ( 12.6 qts with 4.5 lbs DME results in 14 qts pre-boil)
* Could do this the night before and store cold.
* Add 1/2 tsp Gypsum and Sugar and nutrient
* Bring to boil
* Set timer for 20 min
* Add 10 drops simethicone
* Add 1 oz Summit hops @ 20 min
* Add immersion chiller to sanitize, check and tighten
connections.
* 2 oz Cashmere @10 min
* Turn off flame
* Cover with foil and chill
* Transfer to fermenter
* Moveto chamber and set to about 75F (actual wort temp will continue to go down about 5 degrees lower)
* Oxygen and Yeast (US-05)
* Take a mason jar of wort and inoculate with yeast for fast ferment test.
* Set chamber to 68 (66-68 actual).
* Dry Hop with 2oz Cashmere for 3 days once activity
ceases. |

Notes: This is a clone of a favorite (Fresh Squeezed).
Mash temp 148f-150f should result in a more complete conversion to simple sugars for fermentation so its not such a heavy IPA.
For Fresh Hopped flavor:
In the hop listing we add .15 Citra at 0 min flame out for aroma and flavor. Let it Hopstand (I used whirlpool for lack of option) for 10 mins to add the IBUs.
After fermentation (give it 2 weeks) dry hop with .20 Citra + .20 Mosaic for another 5 days.
Transfer to secondary and cold crash in the fridge for 2 days or more before priming and bottling.
Depending on your boil off speed you may need to add small amounts of water during boil to keep with in the 1 gallon final volume. Or top off in fermenter before aerating. |

Notes: I messed up this recipe when I originally entered it. The Styrian Goldings are DRY HOP not first wort.
The beer is bitter due to both the hops, 90 minute boil and the use of crystal,chocolate and black malts which adds that burnt caramel edge, and the beer is very similar in basic taste to Rigwelter, but the dry hopping gives it a nice aroma which Rigwelter lacks in my opinion.

Notes: Simple plan for simple stuff:
- Pitch one packet of S-04 into 4 gal of Kirkland brand apple juice @~59f. Keep temperature stable.
- Just after lag phase has ended, mix 1.5-2g Fermaid O into some apple juice, and add with enough juice to top up to 4.7 gal total. This should be on the lower end of the nutrient schedule, hopefully just enough to ward off diacetyl and sulphur.
- Wait until >50% attenuated, and start ramping the temperature a couple of degrees a day to ~68.
- With a couple of points left to go until FG, ~1.007ish, add the dry hops.
- Let dry hop for 4-7 days, cold crashing at FG.
- Rack to serving keg after 24-48 hours at cold crash temperatures.
- Let condition in the fridge, hopefully drink young.
------------------------------------------------------
10/16/20:
Racked after cold crash w/ 7 days hop contact (5 @ 67f, 2 during cold crash) to serving keg. Next time I'll use a hop bag rather than letting them float freely - even after the cold crash there was enough in suspension to clog the floating dip tube, so I had to open everything up and siphon-pump transfer. Not ideal, hopefully oxidization doesn't become a problem.
Manual hydrometer readings verified that this ended up right around 1.002, and a taste of the pre-carb sample was pretty good. There's no detectable sulfur taste, no other significant fermentation off flavors, and mild apple flavor (about as much as is reasonable considering I'm not back-sweetening), though the hops are a little grassy and dank.
Next time I'll probably switch up the hops to something fruity and tropical, and limit the contact time a little more (maybe 3 days at room temp before cold crashing?)
Plan is to burst carb @30psi for ~24 hours, then turn it down to ~12psi and shamelessly drink under-carbed cider till it's ready.
------------------------------------------------------
10/20/20:
After a little more thought I turned the pressure down to 14psi rather than 12, to give it a little more mouthfeel from increased carbonation and help the hop aromatics. It's been a few days since then, and the general consensus is that this turned out really well!
In line with my initial impressions, there aren't any fermentation off flavors I can pick out, but, with carbonation, the S-04 has left pleasant but subtle notes I'd normally associate with ale. The finished cider is crystal clear, very dry without being astringent or harsh, and has a crisp, tart, finish. Apple notes are distinguishable on the finish, but meld with the hop flavors well enough you have to pay attention. While the hop flavors started out worryingly grassy and dank, that quickly faded into the sort of smooth herbal spice I'd expect from Tettnanger and Willamette.
It's really a shame I didn't brew this at the start of summer, rather than at the start of fall, but that can be fixed next year! |
