Cilantro-Lime Blonde: 20g fresh cilantro plus zest of 1 lime @ 5 mins.
Brew 1, October 2021. This made a really good beer; however, the FG is a bit high to style. I had to add some DME to bring gravity up using the 1 gallon procedure, use sugar next time. I added a packet of EC-1118 to this batch to see if it thins out. Tasting:
- What I liked: Nice head retention, good clarity. Nice malt aroma, slight earthy hops. Good dry, cracker and biscuit malt character, a bit of earthy hop flavor. Light pear esters. Pineapple aftertaste. Carbonation is good. Touch of tartness, Slight bitter finish. Very little fermentation character.
-What I didn't like: A touch too dark and a touch too rich. Could use drying out a bit.
- What to change: Add sugar to dry out the beer. Reduce color malts. Perhaps use a more "Belgiany" yeast. Perhaps the BE-### dried yeast. Scale up to 3 gal. |

Notes: Repitching London Ale yeast slurry from a NEIPA.
Pitch yeast at 65F and raise slowly up to 70-72 over the week to encourage full attenuation.
Freeze strawberries for 5-6 days prior to being ready to use them. Thaw until strawberries are about room temp the day of putting into secondary. Let secondary sit for about 7 days or until fermentation has finished. |

Notes: Recipe Notes:
2-Row: Base malt, slightly toastier malt flavour well-suited for pale ales.
CaraMunich I: Results in increased fullness, heightened malt aroma, full, round flavor, deep, saturated color. Own: sweeter but lighter bread notes than victory.
Victory: Use up to 15% in a mash. Gives deep gold to light brown color and biscuity, toasty, baking bread, and nutty flavors. Excellent for brown ales. Own: very baking bread-y, absolutely delicious when biting into.
Amarillo: Alpha 6-9%. Amarillo hops are a new classic for hoppy American ales. Combines floral, tropical, citrus and grapefruit notes. Quality late addition hop and for dry-hopping.
FF: A flavour and aroma hop with distinct tropical, citrus, floral, grapefruit and lemon notes. A versatile hop that can be used in almost any pale brew; Lager, Kolsch, ESB, Pilsner, IPA, Pale Ale & Belgian Ales.
Willamette: A quality aroma hop and a popular American-grown version of Fuggles. Often used in both American and British style ales, this hop produces flavours/aromas of earthy, fruity, floral, and slightly woody. Great multi-purpose home brewing ingredient.
Nelson Sauvin: High Alpha Acid, dual-purpose hop known for it's white wine fruitiness and flavours of crushed gooseberry. This distinctive hop derives it's name from Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Great for American IPA's, Pale Ales, Pale Lagers. Beer ingredient for home beer making.
Yeast: A classic in American ale yeast that offers excellent fermentation performance. Quick, clean and well- attenuating are the chief properties of this ale yeast. Most comparable to "Chico"-style strains. Stays clean, even at slightly higher than average temperatures (up to 78F). Higher flocculation than most other strains of the style.
BIAB Procedure
Brew365 calculator.
Parameters:
Batch size 3.2 g
Trub loss 0.5 g
Mash thickness 1.5qts/lb
Grain temp 70 f
Wort shrinkage 4%
Grain absorption 0.13g/lb
Boil off 15%
1. Start with strike water of 8.2L (2.16G) @ 164F.
2. Put in 5.75 lbs of grains.
3. Rest at 153F for 60 mins.
4. Assuming grain absorption of 0.13G/lb, should end up with 1.38G in brew kettle.
5. Prepare for dunk sparge by adding 11.8L (3.13G) to secondary brew kettle. Add grain bag for 15 minutes @ 170F. Squeeze.
6. Begin partial mash out in primary brew kettle for 15 minutes @ 170F.
7. Add sparge water to primary brew kettle. This should result in 4.5G of pre-boil wort.
8. Begin boil as usual
Went from 8.2L to 5.9L for mash. Dunk sparge was 11.8L, assuming 11L after sparge, roughly about 4.5G pre-boil.
Pre-Boil Gravity reading: 1.02 @ 145F
Once again, my thermo broke, just as I was about to re-hydrate my yeast. What can explain this!? I'll just pitch dry now. I have never had ill effects in the past.
Very active signs of fermentation in the fridge by Sunday afternoon (08/03), but it probably started earlier. It should be done NO LATER than Friday (08/08).
08/06: Gravity reads 1.013. Begin dry hopping. The taste is actually quite fruity - much more than I expected. Very light body, but maybe that will change with the C02. Hopefully it turns out alright.
Update: Tried kegging for the first time. I wanted to force carb it by shaking it, since Rob and Sean were supposed to come up. I didnt fully connect the gas line to the co2 regulator, so I think I exposed the beer to oxygen when force carbing. Came out tasting terrible. Next, time I'll really check my connection and force carb it over 2-3 days rather than 15 minutes.

Notes: the dme and candi will be added after 45 mins to keep boil gravity down and bring the IBU up to 30. Pitched yeast at 72 degees,maintained at 68 for 24 hours then temp increased to 80 as fermentation became more vigorous. Put in 60deg garage to help it cool back down overight. Cooling worked too well, stopped fermenting, warming to 70 to try and get it going again. well without a starter still got 77% att, so not bad. Tastes great already after 2 weks in the bottle. chocolate malt reduced to 4oz |
