Notes: My attempt at a smoothie ale/pastry sour. Thanks to Hops and Gnarly's youtube channel and Oakshire brewing's guide to help me with this recipe.

-Mash around 150-152F

-60 min boil. Add marshmallow fluff (aka the dextrose in the fermentables) at flameout. Motueka seem like it could add to the fruity flavor. I have seen people use Cascade for this recipe. Really only 1/2 or 1 oz is plenty but I got a good deal.

-Pitch Philly Sour first. After 2-3 days, add whatever California Ale yeast you got and let it chill for probably up to 14 days total.

-Cold crash and add to keg with the puree. remember, this will dilute the overall ABV by quite a bit. 11lbs of puree = 1.2 gallons of volume. If I start at 9.77% with 4ish gallons of beer, I end at about 7.5% after adding the puree.

-Consider adding 2-3 sliced vanilla beans at day 7ish of fermentation

Notes: consider any puree from Fierce Fruit. I wanted to try peach, but it was out of stock. I think banana, guava or berry could be interesting. Also, Oakshire uses a more complex grain bill, almost like a NEIPA bill including white wheat. May consider next time, but I wanted to keep it simple like Hops and Gnarly for my first go. He also used Imperial's Voss Kveik, but at 68F which is interesting.

After first brew: My efficiency was pretty low. I think you need the alcohol content to help with overall mixture of the puree and beer. Final beer ended at 5.7%. Secondly, 4.75 gal post boil was too much. I maybe only lost .2 gal trub in the bucket so I bottled about 5 x 16 oz of just the remaining sour beer.

Notes: We bred a Saison strain and a Norwegian Kveik to produce this all-consuming giant of a yeast. A rare combination of diastatic and flocculent, making it a Saison yeast that is easy to crop and repitch. Expressive fruitiness but low banana ester.

Notes: Grin bill is a guess. I don't have the recipe used for the kit

Pre-Brew: Sanitize
You might be surprised to learn that sanitization might actually be the most
important thing here. If things are not completely clean, your yeast will die.
You will not drink good beer, and the next few steps will only provide you with
a valuable learning experience instead of a decidedly more valuable drinking
experience.
• Dissolve half of your sanitzer packet with a gallon of water in a container.
Save the second half for when you bottle.
• Soak everything you are going to use, rinse with water, and let air dry on
some paper towels. If it isn’t totally dry when you are ready to start don’t
worry.
• Keep the extra sanitizer in a container for now. Chances are you’ll want to
re-sanitize something later.
• NOTE: Follow the instructions on your sanitizer. Sanitizers are
different. C-Brite should be rinsed off. StarSan does not need to be.
Brooklyn Brew Shop’s Sanitizer is also no rinse. One packet makes two
gallons. Use half for brewing and half for bottling.

The Mash
• Heat 2.5 quarts (2.4 liters) of water to 160°F (71°C).
• Add grain (This is called “mashing in.” Take note of jargon. Or don’t).
• Mix gently with spoon or spatula until mash has consistency of oatmeal.
Add water if too dry or hot. Temperature will drop to ~150°F (66°C).
• Cook for 60 minutes at 144-152°F (63-68°C). Stir every 10 minutes, and use
your thermometer to take temperature readings from multiple locations.
• You likely don’t need to apply heat constantly. Get it up to temperature,
then turn the heat off. Monitor, stir, and adjust accordingly to keep in range.
• After 60 minutes, heat to 170°F (77°C) while stirring constantly (“Mashing
Out”).

The Sparge
• Heat additional 4 quarts (3.8 liters) of water to 170°F (77°C).
• Set up your “lauter tun” (a strainer over a pot).
• Carefully add the hot grain mash to the strainer, collecting the liquid that
passes through.
• This liquid is called “wort” (pronounced “wert”). It will be your beer.
• Slowly and evenly pour 170°F (77°C) water over the mash to extract the
grain’s sugars.
• You want to collect 5 quarts (4.75 liters) of wort. You will lose about 20%
to evaporation later on, so you want to start with a bit more than you’ll end
with.
• Re-circulate wort through grain once.

The Boil
• In a pot, heat wort until it boils.
• Keep boiling until you’ve hit the “hot break” (Wort will foam - you may
need to reduce heat slightly so it doesn’t boil over.)
• Stir occasionally. All you want is a light boil – too hot and you lose
fermentable sugars and volume.
• The boil will last 60 minutes. Start your timer and add in the rest of the
ingredients at these times:
- Add 2/3 Northern Brewer Hops at start of boil.
- Add 1/3 Northern Brewer Hops 45 minutes into boil.
- At 60 minutes turn off heat. Add chili peppers and cinnamon stick.
• Twenty percent of the wort will have evaporated in this step leaving you
with 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of wort. If your boil was a bit high, the surface area
of your pot extra large, or you brewed on a really hot day, you may have
less than the full amount. Don’t worry – you just reduced your beer a bit
too much, but you can add more water in the next step.
Fermentation
• Place brew pot in an ice bath until it cools to 70°F (21°C).
• Once cooled, place strainer over funnel and pour your beer into the
glass fermenter. Yeast needs oxygen. The strainer helps aerate your wort
and clarify your beer (as well as catch any sediment from going into the
fermenter). Add tap water to bring wort up to 1 Gallon mark if level is low.
• “Pitch” yeast. (Toss the whole packet in.)
• Shake aggressively. You’re basically waking up the yeast and getting more
air into the wort.
• Attach sanitized screw-top stopper to bottle. Slide rubber tubing no more
than 1” (2.5 cm) into the stopper and place the other end in small bowl
of sanitizer. solution You’ve just made a “blow-off tube”. It allows CO2 to
escape.
• Let sit for two or three days or until vigorous bubbling subsides. This is
when fermentation is highest. You may notice bubbles and foam at the
top of the beer. After bubbling calms down, clean tubing and ready your
airlock.
• Sanitize, then re-assemble airlock, filling up to line with sanitizer.
• Insert airlock into hole in stopper.
• Keep in a dark place at room temperature for two weeks without disturbing
other than to show off to friends. (If beer is still bubbling, leave sitting until
it stops.)
• In the meantime, drink beer with self-closing swing tops, or ask for empties
at a bar that has some. If you have a bottle capper and caps, you can save
two six packs of non-twistoff beers instead.

Two Weeks Later: Bottling
• Thoroughly rinse bottles with water, removing any sediment.
• Mix remaining sanitizer with water.
• Fill each bottle with a little sanitizer and shake. Empty after two minutes,
rinse with cold water and dry upside down.
• Dissolve 3 tablespoons maple syrup with 1/2 cup water. Pour into a
sanitized pot. You will be siphoning your beer into the same pot in the next
steps.
- Carbonation comes from adding sugar when bottling, so if you filled
your jug with less than the full gallon in the last step, use less maple
syrup when bottling. Using the full amount can result in your beer
being over-carbonated.
• Siphoning (It all happens pretty fast. You may want to practice on a pot of
water a few times.) To see it in action first, watch the How to Bottle video at
brooklynbrewshop.com/instructions.
A. Attach open tubing clamp to tubing.
B. Fill tubing with sanitizer.
C. Attach sanitized tubing to the short curved end of your sanitized
racking cane. Attach the black tip to the other end - it will help
prevent sediment from getting sucked up. It will probably be a snug
fit, but you can get it on there.
D. Pinch tubing clamp closed.
E. Remove screw-cap stopper and place racking cane into jug, just
above the sediment at the bottom (“trub”).
F. Lower end of tubing not connected to racking cane into sink.
Suction will force beer up and through the racking cane and tubing.
Open tubing clamp, let sanitizer flow into sink until beer just starts
to flow out of the tubing, then clamp shut. Open clamp on tubing,
allowing beer to flow into pot with sugar solution. Tilt jug when beer
level is getting low, but be careful in not sucking up the trub.
• Siphon beer from pot into bottles, pinching tube clamp to stop flow after
each bottle.
• Close bottles.
• Store in a dark place for 2 weeks

• Put beers in the fridge the night before you drink them.
• Drink. Share with friends if you’re the sharing type.

Notes: my humble attempt at a Weizenbock! mmm malt.

Mash at 152F for 60-75 minutes. Boil, chill to 60F and pitch. Ferment for 14-17 days at 60F, rack to secondary and let sit for another 7 days at room temps before chilling to 40F or so for another 7 days to help clear the beer some and help the flavors meld. Bottle and let sit for 21 days at room temps (68-72F). Should yield around 5 gallons or so from the 6.5 gallons that went into the fermentation vessel, so keep that in mind when calculating CO2 levels.

Notes: Clone Brew's Negra Modelo recipe.

Crystal 75 (instead of 60) because I had it on hand.

3oz American Choc (instead of 2.5 UK) because I had it on hand.

Lublin single malt style (instead of Hallerau and Tettnanger)

Added 1oz Black Roasted Barley (for color) because I had it on hand.

Pilsner WLP800 instead of Bohemian Wy2124 -- because I have it. Perhaps a mistake :)

FIX the mash gallons based on the cold-brew dark grains technique!!!

Notes: spices, moss, and 2oz orange goes in at 10 minutes. 1oz orange goes in at 1min.
mashed this at 150, fly sparge, 90 minute boil. This one didn't get bottled until 10/22/12... A long time in the carboy, but it dried out amazingly! Smells awesome bottling... Labeled it as: 4 month funk: dark saison.

this one goes down smooth! pours a deep amber/brown with thick head that dwindles down to half a finger. the aroma is peppery with hints of orange. taste is complex - spices, less peppery than the smell though, toffee, malty, very rich. very smooth and drinkable.
