Notes: Trying to turn out a very quick cider:

- Rehydrate one packet of Lallemand Voss in GoFerm PE as per instructions
- Pitch into ~4.6 gal of Kirkland brand apple juice @90f. Add 10-11 drops Fermcap S to reduce krausen and hopefully prevent the mess that's pretty much guaranteed to happen given the inadequate headspace I'm providing - even given I'm starting with a blowoff tube. Ramp temperature up to 96f over the next few hours.
- Just after lag phase has ended mix 7.5g Fermaid O into some apple juice until thoroughly dissolved, and add with enough juice to top up to 4.7 gal total.
- Just before the 1.3 sugar break (1.040-1.034) mix 7.5g Fermaid O into some apple juice until thoroughly dissolved, and add with enough juice to top up to 4.8 gal total.
- After ~24 hours at FG, start cold crashing.
- Rack to serving keg after 24-48 hours at cold crash temperatures, and start force carbing.
- Taste and stabilize and backsweeten or add flavoring if necessary. I have a variety of tinctures I might add to make this more interesting, depending on how things turn out.
- Drink Young, hopefully within a week or so.

Nutrient schedule is roughly cribbed from https://www.meadmakr.com/batch-buildr/, using the Fermaid O only TONSA 2.0 schedule, with high nitrogen requirements and taking into account that the Voss Kviek is (hopefully) going to blitz through the must.

Priming Amount: 5 oz. in H2O (1 cup) and Beer (1 cup)

Creation Date: 5/5/2014 1:09 AM

Notes: 1. Activate 2 PACKETS of liquid yeast, 3 hours in advance of pitching (right before cleaning and sanitizing).

2. Sanitize all equipment.

3. Heat (3 gal) Spring Water to 160 degrees; add grain bag and steep for 30 min. Keep temp between 152-160 degrees while it steeps.Do not agitate grain bag.

4. After 30 min, remove and put bag in spider. Sparge with 2 quarts of 155-160 degree Spring Water until water is gone.

5. Dissolve DME (OFF stove) and stir in until fully integrated. Put back onto heat and take a pre-boil gravity reading. Then, bring to and keep at a boil for 60 min.

6. Keep a close watch on the boil, in case of in case of a boil-over. Add hop installments throughout the 60 min boil, as scheduled.

7. Add gypsum at 45 min and Irish moss at 15 min.

8. Move the uncovered kettle to the sink and cool in ice bath. Be careful not to let ANYTHING get into the wort.

9. Once below 100 degrees, add to bottling bucket; then add cold water until 5.5 gallons total. Stir vigorously and into whirlpool.

10. Take OG reading.

11. Pitch liquid yeast when at 80 degrees or below. Seal and move fermentor to cool/dark location. Equip with blow off valve.

12. Ferment at 64-70 degrees for 3-5 days or till complete. Take FG reading.

13. Once fermentation is believed to be complete, take a second FG reading to be sure. If fermentation has finished, transfer to the secondary for another 3-5 days.

14. In the middle of transferring with the siphon, add gelatin that has been: a) dissolved in 170 degree water and b) then cooled to room temperature.

15. After 3-5 days in the secondary (one day before bottling), move the secondary to the bottling location so that trub has settled.

16. On bottling day, take a third FG reading to obtain official ABV. Clean and sanitize all bottling equipment.

17. Prepare the priming solution by boiling 3/4 cup sugar and 1 cup of water and 1 cup of the beer for ~5 min. Allow it to cool down to room temperature before adding into beer. Then, transfer beer from secondary to bottling bucket and, in doing so, add the priming liquid.

18. Bottle and store in cool/dark location for 2 days. Then begin refrigeration for additional priming and aging; 2-4 weeks minimum.

Notes: Boil for 90 minutes to get some caramelization.
Rehydrate yeast in 5oz of water.
*About 16% of this recipe is munich malt*
Pitch yeast in half cup of 80 degree for 15 mins and leave alone, then gently stir for 15 until a cream is created.

Brewed on 06/27/15 with a full 5.75-6 gallons in the fermenter. I calculated about 7.25 on my dip stick, but after adding 4 lbs of extract it went up to 7.75, and thats why I did a late addition.
Gravity read 13.1 brix (1.051) Pitched at 66.

06/28/15: There is a TON of activity with some krausen getting pushed out. Everything looks good so far.

07/01/15: Changed temp from 66 to 68.
07/02/15: Took it out to room temp.

Kegged on 07/16/15:
Full 5 gallons. Might have sucked up a few oz of trub, but overall went ok.
Refractometer: 6.3brix (1.011 SeanTerrill) 5% Alcohol.

09/07/15: The beer has smoothed out a lot and it's quite nice. There is a strong buttery (not diacetyl) quality to the beer that I attribute to the munich malt. Overall my family likes it and I think it's good... but not great.
An all grain version will follow.

Notes: Notes to self, if no one else:

~Stir mash @ 5 min. Temp/pH @ 15 min. Will calculate strike to hit 154*F so after stirring (well) will settle around 153*F.
~Slow down. ...Valve positions.
~Ensure minimum 6 gallons in BK towards end of boil.
~Aerate wort well. Repeat.
~Dry yeast version here. Use 2 packs and rehydrate.
~Primary fermenter 12-14 days then cold crash 2-3 days before kegging.
~2.1 volumes CO2 at 44F is 10psi.

Notes: This remarkably robust porter stands tall among the competition. Constructed of an intricate blend of caramalt, chocolate and lager malts, this deep brown beer is full bodied and rich in flavor. Hints of toffee and trace notes of chocolate are just a few of the attributes that define this well balanced brew. The Black Tower is a well crafted monument of strength and beauty.
-Mr. Beer

What can I say other than Wow. Everything was DEAD on with this. Carbonation just about blew my face off when I popped the swing-top. Real malty flavor and smell. Thick creamy chocolate head. Very light bodied and extremely easy to drink, Not as heavy as some of the Porter styles I've had in the past. Delicious.Very proud of this recipe.
