Yeast starter was made from one smack pack, starting on Wednesday night. Stepped up on Thursday night with another liter. Fridged Friday night. Drained Sat morning and added 16oz of the 1.04 sparge water while the wort was boiling. 800ml of wort/yeast slurry went into the wort.

Strike temperature was significantly hotter than what I normally do. The water in the cooler was around 176 degrees. After adding the grain, it took quite a bit of stirring to get down to 152. It went from around 160 to 152 in about 5 minutes. Also poured in about .5 gallon of room temp water to bring down the temp. Between the 6.25 gallons and the approx. .8 gallons of infusion water, I only rendered 3.7 gallons. Giving me an absorption/dead space volume of 3.3 for the 16.25lbs of grain. Mashed for about 65 minutes once the lid was shut. Gave it a stir around 30 minutes in and the temp was steady around 151-152.

Second runnings were 1.04 and pulled out a tad over 4 gallons.

The only difference between this boil and the original was that I put the bittering hops in a fine mesh bag. I wanted to avoid having my bittering hops end up in the in the carboy since I didn't filter on the way in. Only the first 1oz of Citra went directly into the boil. All other hop editions were put in muslin bags. I also over-cooled the wort and brought it down to about 158 so I waited a couple hours for it to warm up to around 162ish while at the same time cooling my yeast starter. Total liquid probably a hair under 6 (with a lot of sediment).

6 hours in and I barely notice any activity in the carboy, which was concerning given the speed in which the previous batch took off. I attribute this to the cooler start temperature.

8 hours in a small film of fluffy white foam has appeared. Looks like the carboy now has a slight effervescence. Temp warmed to 164. Added a liter of ice to the bag to regulate the temp rise.

17 hours in and blow off tube is passing CO2 (upped my BO container size to a growler this time). About an inch of foam and there is very noticeable effervescence in the carboy. The flocculation of the yeast doesn't seem to have happened yet so I can't call this vigorous yet. Temp warmed to 166. New ice went in the bag to control the temp increase. Once I hit 168, a lot of ice will go in to main fermentation there.

60 hours in: after bringing it up to 68, I had a blowoff. Decided to take a gravity reading and the refractometer reads 1.018. Still fermenting so I'm happy where this is going - hopefully 1.014-5. After cleaning up and getting everything sorted, I come home 12 hours later to a smaller blowoff. Fermentation has subsided and doesn't seem like the blowoff will happen again. Tied down the lid and added 1 oz of Citra to experiment with adding hops at the end of fermentation (transform non-aromatic glycosides into aromatic terpenoids)(https://byo.com/stories/issue/item/3187-advanced-dry-hopping-techniques). Temp is holding steady at 66-67 degrees.

Notes: - On brew day, cut one vanilla bean in half and using a sharp knife, split it open lengthwise. Let soak in 2 oz. of bourbon.

- After 7 days of fermentation,
If using a secondary fermenter, tranfer beer and add vanilla and
bourbon mixture. If just using a primary fermenter, add
bourbon/vanilla directly to primary fermenter. Leave for an
additional 7 days for these flavors to absorb into your beer.

Notes: This was originally called SaoirsIPA, but Monty made fun of the fact that I changed Saoirse's name for it. As it is an imperial IPA, this translates to "Saoirse the Great,"
a vastly superior name.

Transferred all but the worst of the trub from the kettle to get just about 5 gal. Pitched 2 packs of US-05. Unfortunately, caught the last heat wave of the summer and fermented at 77-79F for the first 3 days before a cold wave hit and temps plunged to 68-70 in the house - on day 3 of course after it mattered. Tossed in my dry hops in a hop bag and let it go another 4 days.

Huge improvement in hop aroma after dry hopping, extremely citrus-y, mostly pineapple rather than grapefruit. Could be some residual sweetness from the palm sugar (despite hitting my FG), or esters from the hot initial conditions :(. Still, quite tasty and very fruity.

Notes: Steep the crushed malts in 2.5 gallons (9.5 L) of water at 155° F (70° C) for 30 minutes. Remove the grains from the wort. Add the malt extracts and boil for 60 minutes. Add the first hop addition of Amarillo at the beginning of the boil primarily as a foam inhibitor. Add your irish moss for the last 30 minutes. Turn off your burner and remove your pot from your heat source. Now add your 5 ounces of Amarillo hops, and stir to mix in. After about 3 to 4 minutes, begin using your wort chiller to drop the temperature of the wort to pitching temperature. This addition is a bit tricky, but the goal is to have the large amount of hops in your beer for about 5 minutes after the beer has finished boiling, but prior to cooling below around 150. This extracts a small amount of hop bitterness, and a large amount of hop flavors. When you have cooled your beer to about 80, you can strain the beer into your fermenter. Aerate your beer and pitch your yeast. Ferment at 68°-70°F to help hold the aromatics in the beer. When fermentation is complete, rack your beer off the trub, and add the remaining “dry hop” addition of 3.0 oz. of Amarillo, and allow the beer to absorb the dry hop flavors for about 4 days. Then bottle or keg as you normally would.

Notes: I've cored 8 kg's of Amasya Apples and 1 kg of Golden Apples. Boiled them with 5 lt's of water, 750g's of brown sugar and 3 cinnamon sticks.
After the boil; I've blended the apple base, boiled for an hour more.

I've used Mangrove Jack's Old English Ale yeast (10g's) that comes with their Gluten-Free Pale Ale kit. I've added 20 lt's of drinking water, pitched the yeast directly into the wort at 29-30 degrees. OG was 1,028. Regular fermenting temperature was fixed at 20 degrees celcius after 2 days into fermentation.

After 4 days I've added a simple syrup I've prepared with 400 ml water, 750 gr's of regular sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks and two whole star anises. The OG was messed up after that.

The cider is in it's 9th day of fermentation at the moment; still bubbling away. I will bottle it into 200ml soda bottles with 5 gr's of regular caster sugar for priming and stevia to taste. Will use a syphon for bottling and won't use the pulp.
