Notes: This is an experiment. Follow at your own risk.
Clean and sanitize equipment.
Use a sanitized jar with a lid to begin starter yeast
Measure out water into mash tun and heat until 60 degrees
Measure out honey into hot water. Mix out any honey crystals. Maintain at 50 degrees for 20 minutes to eliminate any wild yeast.
Pour into the fermenter and mix in cool water.
Place Ispindel in the fermenter and turn on the heating belt and switch.
When the temperature sits between 20-25 pitch the yeast.

Experiment Notes and Questions-
Ispindel not getting a good signal in honey,
No activity at 72 hours.
Use two yeast packets
Calibrate thermometer prior to boil. The thermometer was inaccurate and the honey may have reached as high as 80 degrees.
Fermentation is very slow. At this rate, it would take 6 months to complete. on 28/08 I needed to open the fermenter and recharge the ispindal. I took the opportunity to add 5gs of wine yeast nutrient and I added 100gs of raisens to the fermenter, and degassed. The colour and smell are pleasant and mild.
29/08 - fermentation has sped up. dropped 1 SG overnight.
Flavors will be added at secondary.

NORTHERN BREWER Instructional Document
Is it a half IPA? Is it a pale ale? What’s in a name, after
all? We’re taking you back to basics with this SMASH
(single malt and single hop)-style delight. Then we’re
combining that back to basic with the latest in style-
confounding marketing-speak: American Session Ale.
SMASH is about taking things back
—
way back, to
when American pale ale was edgy and new. The thing is,
time travel is hard, and we’re thinking there’s enough
Cascade-only pale stuff out there, so we’re going to
use a decidedly new-school single hop: Simcoe. The
pine and jungle stinker herself, Simcoe is boastful and
bombastic, packing tons of hop flavor and aroma into a
neat little package.
SMASH takes a clean, dry malt base, with a low gravity for
extra drinkability, and piles on a healthy dose of delicious
hoppiness. Think of it as a way to deliver a metric hogs
-
head of hop flavor and aroma in a tidy 4.5% ABV package.

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 infla
-
tion. 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 6 lb Pilsner malt syrup.
Remove the kettle from the burner and stir in the
Pilsner malt syrup.
4. Return wort to boil. The mixture is now called “wort”,
the brewer’s term for unfermented beer.
-
Add
1
/
2
oz Simcoe hops, and boil for 60 minutes.
-
Add
1
/
2
oz Simcoe hops 15 minutes before the end of the boil.
-
Add 1 oz Simcoe hops 5 minutes before the end of the boil.
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.
SMASH AMERICAN SESSION ALE
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 fermenta
-
tion lock. The optimum fermentation temperature for this
beer is 60–72º F – move the fermenter to a warmer or
cooler spot as needed.
15. Active fermentation ends. Approximately 1 week
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. Rack the beer into a secondary fermenter, or simply
add the 1 oz of Simcoe hops to the fermenter. Dry hop
for 1 week total.
BOTTLING DAY—ABOUT 2 WEEKS
AFTER BREWING DAY
17. Sanitize siphoning and bottling equipment.
18. 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.
19. Siphon beer into bottling bucket and mix with priming
solution. Stir gently to mix—don’t splash.
20. Fill and cap bottles.
2 WEEKS AFTER BOTTLING DAY
21. Condition bottles at room temperature for 2 weeks.
After this point, the bottles can be stored cool or cold.
22. Serving. Pour into a clean glass, being careful to leave
the layer of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Cheers!

simple attempt at Blonde Belgian Ale
SMASH Belgian "session" Blonde Ale
Extra light pale malt, saaz hops, 1214 abbey yeast
notes: no hop sack. strongets whirlpool I can get once cooled. Might attempt using auto-siphon, since I'll be using small pot w/no outlet. Hard cold-crash at bottling time (lowest temp achievable in ferm. chamber for 1 week)
more notes: beer VERY clear. Turned out to be nearly classic blond style. Carbonation a bit low (too little priming sugar due to 'cold crash' assumption of more co2 in liquid. definitely need more sugar at bottling)
