Notes: Malts: The three malts chosen are for the traditional barley/wheat balance of a Lichtenhainer, the pilsner added for a few extra points of gravity added as inoffensively as possible. The oak-smoked wheat is in consideration of the fact that smoked paprika tends to be smoked with oak rather than most smoked malts which tend to be beechwood, or something like cherry. With the added spices in secondary, I hope not to overwhelm the flavour profile too much. Vienna, seemed a good, reasonably traditional, sweet base malt choice with adequate DP to handle the conversion, and to balance the sour, as it's meant to be lightly sour. There is also less smoked wheat, both to avoid a stuck mash, and to keep the paprika+smoked malt combo from overloading the senses on smoke.
Hops: The Hallertau Mittelfruh is a (sort of) traditional, Noble hop with low bitterness, and a spicy profile, should mesh well with the herbs and spices to be included.
Cultures: Depending on the ability of the lab, and the souring techniques we ultimately learn in class, the Lactobacillus 5335, and the German Ale 1007, both from Wyeast, were the recommended cultures for a Lichtenhainer, hopefully preserving the light sour flavour, and the equally light fruity estery profile of the finished beer. Boil 10 minutes, no hops, before transferring. Add Lactic acid to bring pH to 4.5 and pitch Lacto. Allow Lacto culture to decrease pH for about two days at 80F, looking for a pH of ~3.7, before boiling again, with hops, and pitching the German ale yeast, to ferment rest of the way out at 66F.
Water: Changed very little from the standard lab water profile, except to ensure sufficient calcium, and to adjust the pH into the appropriate range. Higher chloride to enhance malt sweetness, middling Magnesium to tangle with the sour, and lower pH in mash to appropriate range.
Mash: BJCP guidelines suggest a dry end product, and finish on tasting, as well as a medium to medium-light body. The mash is scheduled with that in mind. As it should ferment out to ~1.011, the short protein rest hopefully maintains the body a bit, and keeps the 40% wheat grain bill from gumming up the works.
Spices: In the secondary, in complement to the smoked and sour profile, with the sweeter malt heavy recipe, I hope to add paprika (a dried sweet red pepper), rosemary (a piney, pungent, woody herb). In an already busy context, I recognize that this could be a dangerous combination, potentially vegetal if aged too long, but if carefully blended and portioned would make the beer a powerful complement to lightly-flavoured, but heavily-marinated protein and plant-based foods. Might as well balance that with a beer of appropriate intensity (right, vegetarian friends? right?!). As an estimate, 1 oz. of each in the secondary left to soak in. |

Notes: The described dry hop pretty much drowns out any interesting flavour notes from the adjuncts. Less hops, more stuff next time and maybe the beer'll turn purple from the black rice as originally hoped.
When brewed an estimated attenuation of 82% was achieved, putting FG at 1.01 rather than 1.016. |

Notes: Dough in with roughly 5 gallons of brewing liquor to make a thick mash of approximately 100 °F (38 °C). Let rest for about one hour. At this temperature, an enzyme called phytase will become active and slightly acidify the mash. Then use direct heat and a boiling water infusion of 2 gallon to raise the temperature to approximately 120 °F (49 °C).
This temperature is within the proteolytic conversion range. Rest for 20 minutes. Again, use direct heat and a boiling water infusion of 2 gallon, this time to raise the mash temperature to approximately 150 °F (66 °C). This temperature is within the peak beta-amylase conversion range. Rest for 20 minutes.
Repeat the infusion to raise the mash temperature to approximately160 °F (71 °C). This temperature is within the peak alpha-amylase conversion range. Rest again for 20 minutes. The next infusion brings the mash to the mash-out temperature of about 170 °F (77 °C). Start lautering.
Sparge with the remaining water while maintaining the mash-out temperature. Discontinue the sparge when the kettle gravity reaches about a gravity of roughly 1.042 (10.5 °P). |

Notes: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Clone
Partial Mash - 4.5lbs grain/3 gallons water/60mins
Achieved 50% efficiency on the partial mash with BIAB technique. This could be better, but puts me close to target ABV, OG, and FG.
Single-step 1-L starter.
Judging by color from OG sample, should be very close to SN PA SRM. Taste reveals hop characteristics very close to SN PA. |
