Notes: Invert sugar instructions
for 21 lbs sugar, use 3.25 Gal water.
Boil 20 mins
NOTE: USE LESS BAKING SODA AND ACID THAN DESCRIBED BELOW. I added 4 mL to a 12 gallon batch and the pH was < 3. Had to adjust up to 5 with baking soda. 5 is the ideal pH for inverting sugar.
This recipe won't need any baking soda at the end for the yeast since the pH is 5
Invert syrups that are cooked to develop color are not traditional--they are a homebrewing product. They taste good, but are different from say Ragus invert or brewers sugar.
I use Billingtons light muscovado sugar at varying percentages, with the remainder coming from cane sugar.
1 - 15% Light muscovado
2 - 30% light muscovado
3 - 60% light muscovado
Mix 1 kg sugar with 200ml distilled water. Heat to 160F, add phosphoric acid (Per kg sugar: 0.75ml 85% phosphoric or 1.5ml 88% lactic acid). Hold for 20'. Add 0.9g baking soda. Cool. You can also add 20% Dextrose to make it into a solid-ish block instead of a syrup.
Lately I've just been adding sugar directly to the kettle without inverting.
Cane sugar (inverted or not) + Molasses would be a more direct replacement too. 25g molasses (I like Wholesome Organic), 975g cane sugar for Invert #2.
See my 2023 HBC presentation on brewing with sugar here: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/seminar/how-sweet-it-is-brewing-with-sugars/ |

Notes: - Brewed on 9/19/20
- Mash water = 6.49 gallons (24.6 liters)
- Sparge water = 2.16 gallons (8.2 liters)
- Expecting pre-boil volume of 6.6 gallons (25 liters) or 6.86 gallons (25.9 liters) after 4% wort expansion, actually had 26.5 liters or 7.0 gallons (could have been more too but I pulled the grain basket). Should be ~7.1 after DME addition. Was closer to 7.3.
- Expecting mash efficiency of 84% (expanded wort with Grainfather, same with Brewer's Friend this time) which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.074, then adding [2 lb 1.6 oz] of DME to get pre-boil gravity to 1.091. I want to maintain a 1.35 quarts per pound water to grist ratio in grainfather so need to limit malt bill to 16.5 pounds. Actually only had 75% mash efficiency and hit 1.065 pre boil gravity, then added 3 pounds of DME to get to 1.081. Also extended boil to 120 minutes to try and hit target OG target. Was able to hit 1.098.
- Mash temp settled right it at ~154F
- Hit 19.6 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.081 vs. 1.091 (1.077 + .014) target so ~75% mash efficiency vs. 84% expected.
- Expecting to boil down to 6.0 gallons so boil-off tool estimates 1.099 OG.
- After boil had ~6.X gallons (expected 6.0) in the kettle and ~5.5 gallons made it into the fermenter.
- Pitched the yeast starter and set fermentation chamber at 65F,
- Packaged on 9/30/20, batch #47, FG was 1.016 (at 69F) which converts to 1.017 so 83% attenuation vs 71% avg. and 73% expected
- Fill keg to 52.17 pounds = (1.017FG x 8.345 x 5 gallons) + 9.74 (empty keg weight) |

Notes: Prendere la tacca volumetrica sul fermentatore a 5.2L
Bollire il DME con il luppolo in infusione in un sacchettino di garza di cotone per 30 minuti.
Raffreddare a circa 80°C ed inserire il miele (in questo caso miele millefiori estivo). Miscelare per 2 minuti e raffreddare a RT.
Aggiungere nutrimento per lieviti e lievito. Fermentare tra i 16 e i 20°C.
Dopo 1 settimana travasare in un'altro contenitore da 5,0L ed aggiungere chips di quercia (2g/L) sanificate 15 min a bagnomaria e lasciare 10 giorni in infusione.
Portare la T a 4°C per 3gg.
Carbonare con 2.5-3 g/L di zucchero.
Imbottigliare ed attendere 2-3 mesi. |
