Notes: Sierra Nevada Clone, with a touch of smoke and chocolate ...
Brewed 04/28/12. Accidentally overshot temperature to 190 deg F. on seeping cycle. All other brewing functions normal. Pitched hydrated yeast at 68 deg F. and dry hopped in the primary.
O.G. was 1.057 as averaged between the two buckets. Fermented four days and racked to secondary on 05/02/12. Fermentation was complete five days later. Allowed to settle until 5/15, but some cloudiness persisted, I assume caused by excess proteins released when the seeping water got too hot. Bottled nine six-packs on 5/15 with carbonation drops. Kegged and force carbonated the remainder. Final gravity was 1.011 as corrected for alcohol with the More Beer spreadsheet. Taste is excellent ... fruity, with a nice malt-hop balance and distinct hop nose. The smoked malt rounds out the flavor, without overpowering the base malt, giving the beer a unique character that is hard to describe. I may be able to elaborate on that as I sample it more.
The color is spot on, but a little cloudier than I was hoping. Next batch I will watch the seep temps a bit closer and use some Irish Moss to clear it up a bit. Overall, a very nice and VERY drinkable ale. |

Notes: (1) Start preparing hot water ... immerse liquid malt packs in some hot water for 20-30 minutes so they will flow and dissolve easily.
(2) Steep specialty grains in several liters of very hot water, then strain liquid into boil kettle, and rinse grains with a couple more liters of hot water.
(3) Add more hot water to kettle to about 14 liters. Keep applying heat until liquid is about 70 degrees. Then add contents of liquid malt pouches, rinsing them to dissolve all malt inside.
(4) Top up boil kettle to 20 liters total and bring to boil.
(5) As soon as boil commences, add 60 minute hops and then start timing.
(6) Add later hop additions and yeast nutrient and Whirlfloc at appropriate times.
(7) Chill and transfer to fermenter. Sparge hops. Top up fermenter to 21 liters. (a tad over 5.5 gal)
(8) Don't be too concerned about the temperature. Just get it to 25-30 degrees. Then into the fermenter. Then place fermenter in temperature cabinet set at say 16 degrees. leave for 24 hours and then pitch yeast and re-set tem controller to 19 degrees. |

Notes: Mash: Add 2.04g of Calcium Chloride and 1.2g of Gypsum to water (3 gal) prior to heating. Mash at higher temp (160F) for better mouthfeel. Causes more dextrin in the mash. Pre-boil pH should be between 5.3 and 5.5.
Boil: Dissolve flour in small amount of warm water and add at 15 min. Post-boil pH should be between 5.0 and 5.2
Whirlpool: Chill wort to 170F and let hops steep for 20 minutes. Then chill wort as usual.
Primary: Add 0.68g of Calcium Chloride and 0.4g of Gypsum for every gallon of water that is needed to top to 5 gal in the primary.
Bottling: pH should be around between 4.2 and 4.6. |

Notes: I used Marris Otter LME
Fermentation temperature was optimal for the first 3 days of fermentation. Then we had a heat wave and day time temps rose to into the 80's F. Used freezer packs and a swap cooler to keep fermenter temperatures 76-78 F.
Racked to secondary on day 7 and bottled on day 35 (4 weeks in secondary).
This is a malty, easy drinking game day ale; just enough hops to produce a slight twang and low ABV so you can enjoy more many while still making it through the 4th quarter and the post-game party. |

Lalvin 71B two packs
1.25 gallon local orange blossom honey
Well water
Pitch at 60F
Aerate with O2 for 20 seconds. Added 1/2 nutrient in one cup water
staggered nutrient every other day to complete additions.
fermenting at 62F
August 21- airlock still showing activity ~ 3 bubbles per minute
Sept 20 SG = 1.022. No airlock activity. Taste is still very sweet. strong alcohol notes. Needs more time. After opening bucket, flooded it with CO2 prior to reclosure
Oct 11. SG = 1.020 transfered ~ 2 g to cabroy containing 3 # raspberry puree
remainder transfered to secondary. Still too sweet.
1/7/17 The raspberry batch SG dropped to 1.010 but still tasted too sweet (other wise good!)
The main batch was about 1.018 and too sweet. (otherwise good) Made a 100 mL slurry of champagne yeast and added ca65 mL to the big batch and 35 mL to the raspberry batch.
2/24/17 tested the raspberry mead: SG = 1.004 Tastes good! Bottle time! CAP label M2
4/1/17 The main batch is stuck at 1.018. Taste is good. Bottled. 13.7% ABV cap label is M1 |
