Notes: This beer is made with Malt extract that has been blended with crystal malt to be used without steeping grains. Its called red malt extract, and is available thru Williams brewing .com, in six or eight pound bags. They have others too,already blended so the specialty malts are already in the LME !!! Save time...Saves money...More Beer !!!!! my next brew, sometime before the end of September.

Notes: Hop Stand 10 min with hops for "whirlpoop @ 200f" immediately following flame-out.
Hop Stand with hops for "wirlpool @ 100f" as soon as your first hop stand is done and you start your chilling process.
I use hop socks for these hop stands. Even this small batch has a huge amount of hops. Stir carefully and constantly for best utilization. When removed I wring out most of the wort.
Oxygenate well when chilling is complete. |

Notes: Belgian Candi a stand-in for 6lbs of bocheted honey; the different amount makes up for the greater sugar in the apple juice I used to reach the same OG.
Honey was bocheted on med/low heat over charcoal flame (grill) for ~1.5hrs, until very dark. Pasteurized apple juice (Kirkland brand) was used to dissolve the honey, and the mixture was added to the carboy with enough additional apple juice (5 gal total apple juice) to reach the final volume. Two packets of Nottingham yeast were re-hydrated in one small pack (~12g) GoFerm-PE, and pitched.
Fermaid O/K and DAP were added in staggered additions over the first week according to the schedule given by https://www.meadmakr.com/batch-buildr/: 4.5g Fermaid O @ 24 & 24 hrs, 5g Fermaid K & 2g DAP @ 72 hrs & 1/3 sugar break.
As my temperature controlled chamber was full, fermentation was carried out in a water bath/swamp cooler and further cooled with ice bricks. Over the course of active fermentation the temperature varied more widely than I would have liked, but stayed within 65f-80f.
Fermentation was visibly active during primary for ~2 weeks, and the must was racked to a secondary fermenter (onto 1/4 tsp of K-meta) after ~3.5 weeks. Secondary fermentation lasted a further 3 weeks during which Fermfast-Dualfine and Pectinase were used to further clear the must, though the Pectinase didn't seem to have any effect on a persistent haze and the Dualfine was particularly effective. At the end of secondary fermentation the must was cold crashed before being racked into a keg (onto a further 1/4 tsp of K-meta), carbonated, and bottled in 22oz longnecks.
The finished product is clear, the color of a bock or dark amber ale, and is very drinkable; while the bochet could have aged months longer, it still carries notes of dark stone fruit and toffee. |
