Notes: was intended to use 1kg of light crystal for steeping but accidcently used a dark crystal with a EBC of 400! However as I steeped 1kg in 37 litres I may not have achieved all the flavour and colour from the dark crystal I actually used.

I also added 500 g of muntons spraymalt wheet to incease flavour and ABV so now I AM ACTUALLY BREWING A Dark and very full flavoured IPA. Dry Hopped for a few days

OG and FG were lower than expected so I have decreased projected efficiency from 35 to 10

Notes: Brewed 1/30/22

OG 1.040. Flaked barley did not add any gravity points as this calculator suggested it would. Not an unexpected result. Set PPG to 0 to correct calculations.

IBU will be higher than desired (though still to style) due to this and the late addition of the 3.5lbs of the extract. Would have preferred ~30. Should have cut aroma hops in half to 0.5oz to compensate. Didn't think about it.

SRM much lighter than anticipated, estimated about 20. More of caramel color then the soft black I associate with an Irish dry stout. The roasted barley I purchased listed a lovibond of 480-720 but even 480L plugged into the calculator yielded an SRM of 27 so I'd guess it was more in the 300L rang. I was hoping for roasted barley at 600L for an SRM around 32. If I do this recipe again I'll up the roasted barley to 20oz for color.

Pitched one packet of rehydrated Nottingham yeast into fermenter at 56f.

Temperature briefly touched 62f early in fermentation but only briefly and primarily stayed 58-60f.

Sampled 2/6/22. Attenuated to 1.009. Slight sulfur aroma. Roasty, almost oatey with a distinct lactic acid tang. Nicely dry. The flaked barley and acidulated malt feel like they're working together to make a creamy taste without the texture.

Sampled 2/9/2022. Attenuated to 1.008. Probably the end of the road. Sulfur smell almost completely dissipated. Very pleasant taste. Tastes of coffee and oatmeal with just a hint of cream and tart fruit.

Note: The color means I'm probably going to call this an Irish Dry Ale. The flavor and everything else is to style but I can't imagine calling something this light a stout.

Notes: Official NORTHERN BREWER Instructional Document
The perfect pint after a hard day’s work, Gaarden Hoe is
an ode to the historic and refreshing Belgian wit. Classic
wheat is expertly tilled into a traditional pilsner malt bill
and modest, grounded hop profile. Coriander and bitter
orange peel offer slightly tart and citrusy undertones to
quench even the most parched palate.

These simple instructions are basic brewing procedures
for this Northern Brewer extract beer kit; please refer
to your starter kit instructions for specific instructions
on use of equipment and common procedures such as
siphoning, sanitizing, bottling, etc.
For more detailed extract brewing instructions, please
visit www.northernbrewer.com
BEFORE YOU BEGIN ...
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
- Homebrewing starter kit for brewing 5 gallon batches
- Boiling kettle of at least 3.5 gallons capacity
- A 5 gallon glass carboy, with bung and airlock, to use as a
secondary fermenter
- Approximately two cases of either 12 oz or 22 oz pry-off
style beer bottles
UNPACK THE KIT
- Refrigerate the yeast upon arrival
- Locate the Kit Inventory (above) – this is the recipe for your
beer, so keep it handy
- Doublecheck the box contents vs. the Kit Inventory
- Contact us immediately if you have any
questions or concerns!
PROCEDURE
A FEW DAYS BEFORE BREWING DAY
1. Remove the liquid Wyeast pack from the refrigerator,
and “smack” as shown on the back of the yeast package.
Leave it in a warm place (70–80° F) to incubate until the
pack begins to inflate. Allow at least 3 hours for inflation;
some packs may take up to several days to show inflation.
Do not brew with inactive yeast — we can replace the
yeast, but not a batch that fails to ferment properly. If
you are using dry yeast, no action is needed.
ON BREWING DAY
2. Collect and heat 2.5 gallons of water.
3. Bring to a boil and add 4 lbs Wheat DME. Remove the
kettle from the burner and stir in the Wheat DME.
4. Return wort to boil. The mixture is now called “wort”,
the brewer’s term for unfermented beer.
- Add 1 oz Saaz hops, and boil for 60 minutes.
- Add 2 lbs Pilsen DME and 1 oz Saaz 15 minutes before the
end of the boil.
- Add 1 oz Coriander and 1 oz Bitter Orange Peel 5 minutes
before the end of the boil. You may crush the seeds before
adding if you wish.
5. Cool the wort. When the 60-minute boil is finished,
cool the wort to approximately 100° F as rapidly as
possible. Use a wort chiller, or put the kettle in an ice
bath in your sink.
6. Sanitize fermenting equipment and yeast pack. While
the wort cools, sanitize the fermenting equipment –
fermenter, lid or stopper, fermentation lock, funnel, etc –
along with the yeast pack and a pair of scissors.
7. Fill primary fermenter with 2 gallons of cold water,
then pour in the cooled wort. Leave any thick sludge in
the bottom of the kettle.
8. Add more cold water as needed to bring the
volume to 5 gallons.
9. Aerate the wort. Seal the fermenter and rock back
and forth to splash for a few minutes, or use an aeration
system and diffusion stone.
10. OPTIONAL: if you have our Mad Brewer Upgrade or
Gravity Testing kits, measure specific gravity of the wort
with a hydrometer and record.
11. Add yeast once the temperature of the wort is 78°F or
lower (not warm to the touch). Use the sanitized scissors
to cut off a corner of the yeast pack, and carefully pour
the yeast into the primary fermenter.
12. Seal the fermenter. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of
water to the sanitized fermentation lock. Insert the lock
into rubber stopper or lid, and seal the fermenter.
13. Move the fermenter to a warm, dark, quiet spot until
fermentation begins.
GAARDEN HOE
BEYOND BREWING DAY, WEEKS 1–2
14. Active fermentation begins. Within approximately
48 hours of Brewing Day, active fermentation will
begin – there will be a cap of foam on the surface of
the beer, and you may see bubbles come through the
fermentation lock.
15. Active fermentation ends. Approximately 1–2 weeks
after brewing day, active fermentation will end: the cap
of foam falls back into the new beer, bubbling in the
fermentation lock slows down or stops.
16. Transfer beer to secondary fermenter. Sanitize
siphoning equipment and an airlock and carboy bung or
stopper. Siphon the beer from the primary fermenter into
the secondary.
BEYOND BREWING DAY—
SECONDARY FERMENTATION
17. Secondary fermentation. Allow the beer to condition in
the secondary fermenter for 2 weeks before proceeding
with the next step. Timing now is somewhat flexible.
BOTTLING DAY—ABOUT 4 WEEKS
AFTER BREWING DAY
18. Sanitize siphoning and bottling equipment.
19. Mix a priming solution (a measured amount of sugar
dissolved in water to carbonate the bottled beer) of 2/3
cup priming sugar in 16 oz water. Bring the solution to a
boil and pour into the bottling bucket.
20. Siphon beer into bottling bucket and mix with priming
solution. Stir gently to mix—don’t splash.
21. Fill and cap bottles.
1–2 WEEKS AFTER BOTTLING DAY
22. Condition bottles at room temperature for 1–2 weeks.
After this point, the bottles can be stored cool or cold.
23. Serving. Pour into a clean glass, being careful to leave
the layer of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Cheers!

Notes: re-hash of this brew i did in 2014 :
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/144542/ultimate-warrior

this time will be doing a 30 min all extract version bc i dont have a free weekend so ill have to do it at night after the baby goes to bed :-)

not having to do a 60 min warrior addition will allow me to add more hops by weight to the brew hopefully will get a better sense for if and what this hop tastes like in later additions.

also last time i did all maris otter malt. i still have some pretty cool labels i want to use again but they advertise smash with maris otter so i want to be a little honest. although im adding either some wheat malt or pale malt because the jug im ordering from northern brewer comes in 3.15 and 6 lb. denominations. i could do 9.15 lb which would be 7% but then its not really pale ale anymore. will do the 6 this time and see how it turns out. if i still cant tell wtf warrior and maris otter is after this then maybe will do 7% version next time.

going to reuse yeast which will be on its 3rd generation and just came off a mosaic ipa. hoping i can clean it well enough so theres not a lot of left over flavor, and also that it attenuates enough - it was questionable in the last brew although that was an old version of the 2nd generation.
