Notes:
Originally intended 200g flaked rye, but couldn't get it on time.
Step mash:
58C 90min
70C 30min
Add 10g-12g crushed coriander seeds at flameout. Also, 5-8g crushed grains of paradise.
Cool to 16C and pitch T-58. Aerate at:
pitch
pitch+1h
pitch+12h
pitch+24h
Keep rousing yeast by swirling, as often as possible.
Counting time from pitch, raise temperature by 0.8C every 12h, stop raising at 29C.
When raising to ~21C, pitch WLP099 from a large decanted starter.
After reaching 29C, keep at 29C until fermentation ends. WLP099 is slow!

Notes: (This is the recipe that Vinnie himself gave in an interview found in zymurgy)
Directions
Mash grains at 151-152° F (66-67° C) for an hour or until starch conversion is complete.
Mash out at 170° F (77° C) and sparge. Collect 8 gallons (30 L) of runoff, stir in dextrose,
and bring to a boil. Add hops as indicated in the recipe. After a 90 minute boil, chill wort
to 67° F (19° C) and transfer to fermenter. Pitch two packages of yeast or a yeast starter
and aerate well. Ferment at 67° F (19° C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack
to secondary. Add first set of dry hops on top of the racked beer and age 7-9 days, then
add the second set. Age five more days then bottle or keg the beer.
Extract Substitution
Substitute 6.5 lb (3.0 kg) of light dry malt extract for two-row malt. Due to the large
hop bill for this recipe, a full wort boil is recommended. Steep grains in 1 gallon (3.8 L)
of water at 165° F (74° C) for 30 minutes, then remove and rinse grains with hot water.
Stir in dextrose and top up kettle to 8 gallons (30 L), and bring to a boil. Add hops as
indicated in the recipe. After a 90 minute boil, chill wort to 67° F (19° C) and transfer to
fermenter. Pitch two packages of yeast or a yeast starter and aerate well. Ferment at 67°
F (19° C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack to secondary. Add first set of dry
hops on top of the racked beer and age 7-9 days then add the second set. Age five more
days then bottle or keg the beer |

Notes: Mashed in via two 10g coolers and and 20g mash tun. Cooler sparges got stuck and efficiency was abysmal. Goal was 1.128 OG at 65% eff. but we ended up closer to 50% and OG at 1.100.
After fermentation transferred 15g to a freshly dumped FEW Bourbon Barrel. Aged for ~4 months before transferring out to carboys. Finished beer is very thick and has a high amount of rye spice but not overpowering. Works very well as a blending component or with the addition of adjunct flavoring (coffee, fruit, etc.)
If we made this again we would definitely BIAB or add rice hulls to the mash to avoid sparge issues, I would also dial back the rye by a couple of pounds.
4g of this beer was kegged with 3 oz of whole cracked coffee beans for a couple of weeks.
4g was secondaried on ~3# of raspberries and marion blackberries + an oz of cocoa nibs.
4g was kegged and bottled plain
2g was saved as a blending component for future beers. |

Notes: - Add brown sugar with 10 minutes left in the boil
- After 1 week fermentation: puree 4lbs overripe bananas (+6pts to gravity) with enough water to make a pourable paste. Bring mixture to 175F and let stand for 30 minutes. Add to secondary and siphon beer on top, allowing two more weeks' fermentation for the bananas.
Total OG (+ bananas) = 1.072
Approx ABV ~ 8% |

Notes: This is my staple house brew. Its a hybrid wheat beer that uses a ale yeast. Kind of a cross between a IPA and a wheat beer. Super fast turn around. Two weeks primary and two weeks bottle conditioning. Cost is under $30 per batch. |
