Notes: This is an example of the phrase "time fixes everything".. You may worry that my ingredients are obscure, that is because this is my way of clearing out my inventory of ingredients every summer, I may have a few pounds of a Belgium malt, or half an ounce of a German hop.. throw it all in, make it dark (coffee malt and roasted barley are required, if you have some baking chocolate, throw that in, a solid hop bittering foundation of 2 oz of magnum is good start.
This will take a month in the fermenter, it will want to overflow. Give it time.
This will need to age 2 or 3 months in the keg.
Brew before 4 th of July if you want to drink at Halloween, if you brew in August you may miss Christmas.
Also, the higher temps in the summer are beneficial here, you may need to throw in some wine yeast if the SG gets stuck north of 1.025

Notes: Started batch w/ 7 gal+
Hit slightly above 160° for steep slightly longer at 50 minutes. Mashed out” at 155° with great color!
Re lit the fire and brought to a boil, added extract and mittelfrüher.
Added extract and bittering hops before boil.
Knockout and chill. Slightly over time. Took about 30 minutes to chill. Really need a new chilling system.
Gravity off target at 1.034
I am not sure why my gravities are always low.
Did not read the instructions on the yeast. Did not sanitize the packet, did not break the nutrient. We will see if fermentation starts and goes. Worst case I get another packet of yeast and actually follow the instructions.
12 hours in, no fermentation yet. Optimal temp and dark conditions. Will update this evening.
Fermentation started about 36 to 40 hours after pitching and is very vigorous. Topped off the airlock.
Checked AM, krausen filled the airlock. Sanitized a new airlock and swapped out. Fermentation still going strong.
Issues with carboy bung created the lack of a tight airlock. Transfered to secondary ~1 week and 2 days after strong fermentation. Good sediment in primary fermenter, and falvor target is on. Did not notice any off flavors from the makeshift cling wrap seal that was necessary to the top of the carboy (after two bungs went for a swim). Gravity measured in line w/ final predicted gravity.
Small amount of fermentation was present in secondary after adding 1.5 pounds of frozen & warmed blueberries. this occured within 12 hours. Placed in moslin bag for secondary.
Will check gravity in a week and re-taste, but predict that this will be a good summer beer just over 4% when finished.
*Changes for next time: I would have added 3.3 pounds of Munic LME that I had on hand, and a second packet of yeast.
Update 6/16: gravity checked in at 1.0 putting alcohol somewhere around 4.85%. Faint berry taste but not overly strong. Nor overtly blueberry. Should drink a lot like a raddler. Will keg on 6/20. |

Notes: The DME Pilsen and wheat were left over from another brew, I would have used LME if available.
3/16/24 Used a 13 gallon conical fermentor with the yeast catching ball. I don't have an immersion cooler so I am adding campden tablets and adding the yeast in 24 hours
3/17/24 (DAY AFTER BREW)- The gravity was exactly 1.060 as the calculator predicted. Hydrated the yeast packs and added them 26 hours after the campden introduction. The Ibus read normal for a saison but in two weeks I’ll give it a try and dry hop with H. Blanc if i want to kick it up
4/18 beer fermented perfectly kegged a 5 gal, 2.5 gal, and the rest in flip top bottles. It tastes great!
