Notes: BREWING PROCESS
Multi-step mash method:
The mashing and fermentation schedule of this beer is more complex than most beers. If you cannot follow the schedule exactly, relax, don’t worry, have a homebrew! I’ll try to offer some alternatives to simplify the process.
Mash-in to reach a beginning mash temperature of 55'C (protein rest) & hold for 20 minutes. Ramp or raise the temperature of the mash to 63.3'C (saccharification rest) and hold for 60 minutes. Finally, ramp or raise the temperature to 75.6'C (mash-out) and hold for 15 minutes. Lauter and sparge to collect enough pre-boil volume to allow for a 90 minute boil. Proceed with the 90 minute boil, adding the Simplicity candi syrup in the last 15 minutes of the boil.
A simpler mash method:
Mash at 63.3'C for 90 minutes. This will allow for a fermentable wort that will still make a great Belgian golden strong. However, the head retention and clarity will not be quite what it would be with a multi-rest mash. Lauter and sparge to collect enough pre-boil volume to allow for a 90 minute boil. Proceed with the 90 minute boil, adding the Simplicity candi syrup in the last 15 minutes of the boil.
Chill to 17.8'C, pitch yeast, and allow to raise to 27.8'C over the course of 5 days. If unable to raise this high, raise as high as possible.
Ferment at 27.8'C for 2 weeks. Then cold crash and lager at 0'C for 3 weeks before bottling in Belgian bottles or kegging.
As I said, this recipe calls for a lot of advanced techniques. If you are unable to follow them exactly, keep calm and brew on! You will still be able to make a fabulous beer by following standard brewing procedures.
Extract Version: Replace 5 kg of the the pilsner malt with 3 kg of light dry malt extract. Steep the remaining 0.5 kg of Belgian pilsner malt at 65.5-68.3'C for 30 minutes using a muslin grain bag. Begin with enough volume to allow for a 90 minute boil. Allow the rinsed grain bag to drain for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the flame and dissolve the extract thoroughly. Turn the flame back on, bring to a boil and proceed as normal with the 90 minute boil, following the hop schedule and adding the Simplicity candi syrup in the last 15 minutes of the boil. Chill to 17.8'C and follow fermentation schedule as closely as possible. |

Notes: My usual starter.
Chill and add yeast.
If in a hurry ferment for a day or two then add to brew.
Or if in less of a hurry, let it finish fermenting. Then place in fridge and let the yeast settle on the bottom. Pour off most of the liquid before shaking and adding the rest to brew.
Or for even more yeast, do as above, then add more starter wort and repeat the process. |

Notes: Dutch Pilsner take on the WW Advanced Lord Nelson Recipe.
Replaced the APA cans and US-05 yeast for:
2 x WW LME Dutch Pilsner (Each LME Can adds 22 IBU and and 3 SRM - so recipe totals are 59.7 IBU's and 12.2 SRM)
100gm Pellet hops steeped for 200gm Pellet Hops steeped for 30 minutes at 75C.
3 x S-23 Yeast
Ferment at 15 degrees for 3 days
Then 18 degrees for 3 days
Then 21 degrees for 2 days for diacetyl rest
2 days after crash cool and sediment bottle dump to remove most of the yeast matter, drop pressure and add 100gms dry hops and leave for 2 days before dumping sediment
Pitched yeast when wort was too hot - ~30C, which killed the yeast, so no fermentation.
36 hours later, dumped trub and dead yeast. Rehydrated 3 x S-23 yeast and repitched. |

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. |

Notes: At day 5, I sanitized and cut up 3 lbs. of fresh apricots. I kept all of the pits. Fresh peaches would have been ideal, but those don't exist in late December, so I used frozen slices from the store. I pureed all the fruit and added that with the pits that I kept.
At day 8, I used a dried out piece of oak and cut it into chunks. I sanitized it and let it dry for an hour in the oven, then added it to the fermentor.
At day 9, fermentation from the fruit had died down. I added the full packet for each of the Lacto and Brett (Wyeast brand).
At about week 4, I found a couple large, ripe peaches at the store, so I added those.
Each time I added anything to the fermentor, I am introducing oxygen, so I add a little bit of simple syrup to get get the yeast to refill the headspace with CO2.
I bottled everything just short of 6 weeks total time. The result was super oaky. Tried to filter out as much sediment as I could because there was a ton. Next time I do puree, I'll put it my grain bag to keep everything a little more contained. I mixed in a combo of corn sugar and sucrose before bottling to try to get the CO2 level around 3 volumes.
Opened a bottle after 1 week. Really oaky and a little tart. Really good looking head that dissipated after a minute. Carbonation seems to have gone well and now I'll just let it rest for a few months to let the bacteria do its thing.
