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.

Notes: Mash at 153°F (67°C) for 60 minutes, then rest until conversion is complete. Boil for 120 minutes. Pitch the yeast and ferment at 64°F (18°C) to start, allowing the temperature to rise to 67°F (19°C) near the end of fermentation to ensure full attenuation.
After fermentation is complete, in separate mesh bags, add to the fermentor 8 oz (227 g) of roasted cacao nibs and one vanilla bean split lengthwise. Leave the cacao nibs in contact with the beer for 1–3 days, tasting daily and removing cacao nibs when desired flavor profile is achieved. Condition for 2–3 weeks while aging with the vanilla bean, before packaging at 2.3 volumes. |

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) |
