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: Two packets of Lalvin D47 Wine Yeast (only ferments to ~ 14%)
Yeast Starter directions from "Compleat Meadmaker" - 6.5 cups of water, tablespoon of Light DME, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 tsp Nutrient, 1/4 tsp Energizer. Bring water, nutrient, energizer, & malt extract to a boil for 15 minutes, remove from heat, add honey, cover with foil. I'll let this sit on my stir plate for about 42 hours before pitching.
Warm a couple gallons of water to ~140 F or so to mix in the clover honey which was purchased at Costco. Use chilled water to bring down to pitching temp & volume up to ~5 gallons (I went up to about 5.75 gallons). OG for me was 1.12-1.13.
Then follow nutrient additions with 1/4 tsp energizer and 1/2 tsp nutrient at 24 hours, then again at 48 hours, then again after 30% of sugar has been depleted. Two weeks of primary before racking to secondary. Warm the organic "strawberry spread" from Costco in some ~140-150 degree water just to be safe, then rest until room temp, then add in to secondary for two more weeks before racking a 3rd time. |

| Notes: After Primary (& Secondary, if used) fermentation, backsweeten mead with 0.15lb (2.4oz)of honey to hit target final gravity of 1.020. If bottling, then you will still need to add the proper amount of priming sugar in addition to the honey. |

Notes: Puree is with the raisins and whole leaf cascade hops, first mix them in second pot on stove with 12oz boiling water (when water boils, turn off heat source and add raisins and hops and let cool while stirring). Use food processor to puree this mixture to a thin consistency to add directly to the main boiling wort pot, 5 minutes before end of boil.
Aerate the wort in fermenter prior to yeast pitching very well, for 1 minute.
After 4-5 days when vigorous fermentation slows, add champagne yeast with yeast nutrient, brown sugar and dry hops (centinnial). Aerate gently. Let secondary fermentation go for another 2-3 weeks before bottling.
Bottle condition for weeks, age for a long time.
All brown sugar should be light brown sugar. |

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. |
