Notes: Mill the grains and mash at 149°F (65°C) for 60 minutes.
While sparging, maintain the mash temperature at 149°F (65°C), and top up as needed to get about 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate.
Boil for 60 minutes, adding the hops according to the schedule.
After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate to create a vortex, add the hops, and allow 5 minutes to steep. Chill to about 84°F (29°C), aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast.
During fermentation, allow the temperature to free-rise as high as it wants to go, and avoid head pressure on the yeast—for example, instead of an airlock, loosely cover the top of the fermentor with a sanitized piece of foil or cheesecloth. Watch the kräusen; when it starts to fall, you can add the airlock.
Once the gravity has dropped to about 1.004 (1°P), pitch the Brett. Once the beer is bone-dry, add the dry hops for 3–5 days, then crash and remove the hops (or rack).
Carbonate to about 2.75 volumes of CO2 if kegging, or 3.2 volumes if bottle-conditioning—and we also add more Brett at bottling. Wait 2 weeks for a fresh, hoppy version of Bourgeois—or let it ride. We recently opened one that was 4.5 years old, and it tastes great.
BREWER’S NOTES
Water & pH: We shoot for a 2:1 chloride-sulfate ratio, and we adjust the pH in our kettle with lactic acid to knock out about 5.1.
Fermentation: Back pressure is the enemy of ester production. Our Brett culture started as a modified version of Omega OYL-218 All the Bretts, and now we re-pitch it from the dregs of bottles from our previous batch of Brett-conditioned beer we made. We think of the Brett as a seasoning, not as the main attraction of this beer. But these are all just guidelines—make it your own! |

Notes: Brew day went great.
Double crush worked great, added flaked grains in last. Had to do 1.5 lbs of instant oats and .5 lbs of flaked wheat because the homebrew store was out of flaked grains. Got mash temp perfect at 149, recirculated a little and stirred well in the beginning. Recirculated about halfway through. Raised temp on the kettle at the end and recirculated more. Poured about .75 gal over the top at 170. Lifted basket. Put about .75 more over the top. Vorlaufed a couple times but not much.
Pre-boil gravity was very high, so ended up diluting with water from filter straight into the boil kettle. Added about another .5 gal straight to the fermenter and ended up with 5.75 gal at 1.057 gravity. Adjusted salts and pH in the kettle accordingly.
There was more wort to drain out of basket, but needed to lower the gravity so stopped it early. Ended up with maybe .5 gal of 1.06+ wort after it drained into another pot. Probably had an efficiency between 70-75% which is high for this electric kettle. Will adjust next recipe accordingly.
Boiled down to about 4.75. OG was spot on at 1.068. Cooled to 180 and held there while doing whirlpool additions. Used the pump to recirculate during the first 20 min, let it stand during the last 20 min. Chilled to 66. Transferred into fermenter and pitched yeast + starter. More liquid than I would have liked but didn't do starter early enough to crash it. Let rise naturally to about 68 degrees, then raised to 70 as fermentation slowed. Added dry hop addition 1 at end of second day (1.028) and raised temp to 73. Held there for 4 days. Took out yeast/trub and added second dry hop. Took out more liquid than was necessary. It all looked like trub but when separated out, there was a decent amount of beer in it. Took out about 8 cups. Tilt read 1.012 the next day, but I assume that is just a mechanical error.
*Enough yeast from bottling valve, didn't need to separate from trub.
(Had some extra hops from the start, so added extra el dorado and mosaic to the dry hop since there was more volume than initially intended)
Hit FG (1.016, ABV is 6.8%) at day 5. Held at 73 for 5 more days to ensure it cleaned up well. Diacetyl test didn't reveal anything of significance after day 8. Let temp fall on day 10 gradually over the day. Started cold crash that night. A lot of yeast still in suspension. Used ice blocks and cooler to get beer down to 40 degrees. Held there for a day and then kegged. Held at 25-30 psi for about 18 hours then lowered, still wasn't quite fully carbonated yet but done in less than a day.
Aroma was like ripe pineapple. Took about a week to fully mature but then was very good.

Taste: B (something still missing a little, but best tasting NEIPA I have done to date) |
