Notes: 1) Treated water and got strike water up to 160 before mashing in. Mash was fairly straightforward but had to heat a couple times as mash sat around 152-154. I stirred 15 mins in and raised the heat to get up to 154 then let mash rest for the remaining mash time.

Mash PH: 5.7

2) Boil went as planned, added hops as recipe called for. I did make a last minute decision to add the 5 min boil hops, but pulled those out of what would've been all whirlpool. Thought it might impart a little more flavor.

3) With 5 mins left in boil, I added the corn sugar and boil hops then at end I immersion chilled to 160 and dropped the whirlpool for 30 mins.

4) I continued chilling which got to about 80F then transferred to the fermenter, moved to temp controlled ferm chamber to cool to 68F before pitching yeast.

OG: 1.064 - missed by .02 from recipe - I did measure this when the wort was still about 80 degrees and was filled with trub so not sure if that had an impact...

5) After temp was stable at 68F, I pitched the ballooned packet of activated yeast and shook the fermenter like hell. *Thanks amazon for not delivering my aeration kit today as you were supposed to...

6) 12 hours in and fermentation is going very strongly. I have a blow-off tube in a jug of sanitizer that is bubbling every 5 seconds. I'll continue to check ensuring their is no clogging from krausen.

7) Dropped Dry Hop as scheduled and pulled a samp!e at 7 days to check gravity. Its reading 1.010 which is off target. Beer tastes very good though. Checked again 2 days later and its still at 1.010 and even better aroma and taste with the second dry hop kicking in.

8) Lowered temp to 38 to cold crash for 2 days to prior to kegging.

9) Kegged with no issues and set carbonation to 2.3 vols. I sampled after 4 days and it's fantastic. Nice milky/pillowy mouthfeel, slight bitterness, and tastes like straight Orange juice.

Notes: Harvested dregs from four (4) Tree House can and made a 1L starter. Separated starter into three (3) boiled/cooled mason jars. Topped off with boiled/cooled water.

Used one mason jar and created a 2L starter. Separated the starter into four (4) mason jars (300 ml each), and saved 800 ml for this batch of beer.

Attenuation = 75%

Whirlpool & dry hop only
Whirlpool @ 125F for 20 minutes

Added plenty of nutrient (did not add pure O2). Cool wort to 66 degrees.

Timeline:
12/26 = 1.061 (brew day, 64F starting ferm temp)
12/29 = 1.016 (raise to 68F, dry hop)
01/03 = 1.010 (cold crash)
01/05 = 1.010 (keg)

Notes: Recipe from pork chop on Northern Brewer. Mash and Sparge as usual. Boil for 5 minutes. Chill to 110f. Add food-grade lactic acid if available to get 4.4-4.7 pH, (5mL). Add entire carton of Goodbelly. Seal kettle and leave at 110f for 1-3 days, depending on desires tartness. Taste test- sweet and tart like lemonade. Check pH, 3.2-3.5. Boil for 60 minutes to eliminate DMS. Chill to ale pitch temp and add 3 packets of US-05. fermentation 10-14 days. Add minimum 15g sea salt per 5 gallons. 15g coriander at flameout if wanted. Recipe called for 2 packets of yeast for 5.5 gallons.

Notes: Target Pre-Boil Volume: 5 gal
Target Post-Boil Volume: 3 gal
Target Post-Boil Gravity: 1.269

Actual Pre-Boil gravity at 5 gallons: 1.116, estimated post-boil wort gravity: 1.193
(probably didn't use enough corn sugar, weight measurement was skewed)

Mash with:
1/2 tsp Calcium Chloride
1 tsp Epsom Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Soda

Boil:
- mix all boil hops together (6 oz) and split into 24 equal size additions of .25 oz each
- add one hop addition every 5 minutes during boil (measurements in ingredients set at 1 hr, average time in boil)

- remove 1 pint wort (@1.193), mix with 2 pints water and make starter (@1.064) for WLP099

- mix 3 Qts wort (@1.193) with 1 gallon water for primary (@1.083)
***Use plastic fermenter with lid to allow for easy wort/hop additions***
- pitch 1056

- put remaining ~2 gallons wort (@1.193) in sanitized container, refrigerate

Primary Fermentation:
- Wort addition
----- once fermentation starts, perform wort addition every 12 hours for 8.5 days (17 additions):
-------- add 2 cups from reserved wort using sanitized measuring cup
----- *** monitor gravity of primary to check for slowing ***
- On addition 10, add high gravity yeast starter
- Add oxygen daily (evening) for 4 days. Stir wort vigorously with mash paddle.

Secondary Fermentation:
- Transfer to secondary after 10 days

Dry Hop (secondary only):
- mix dry hops together and divide into 28 equal portions
- add 1 portion daily (evening) for 28 days

Bottle:
- bottle after 28 days in secondary
- 12 oz bottles
- measure gravity before bottling: G
- bottle with:
2.5 - ( (G - FG) * 1.6 * 10^4 ) / 11
ounces of corn sugar
Expected volumes CO2 with no additional sugar:
678 * ( G - FG ) + 0.9

Total expected effective OG: 1.136

ACTUALS:
- OG at beginning of primary: 1.075
- Effective OG: 1.153
- Starting with addition 5, added .19 lbs corn sugar for next 6 additions, then .38 lbs for following 3 additions
- added 099 with addition 7
- 10 total wort additions, 13 total additions
- dry hopped with additions 11 to 22
- racked evening after final dry hop addition (time 23, day 11.5)
- gravity at time 8: 1.058, at time 10: 1.070, at time 23: 1.042

Notes: Brewed - 1/2/21

May have been a little too ambitious with this one, I didn't get nearly the efficiency that was calculated, and I don't think I can blame it all on too much water this time.

Hops are adjusted in recipe as per each package AA's

Used 3 liter starter and made a big blow-off mess. After 24 hours the krausen was spewing so violently out of the airlock that it blew the top off of the fermenter; twice.

Will update numbers when finished, at least four weeks

2/2/21 - UPDATE - FG of 1.011 for a whopping attenuation of 85%. Sugar primed keg, will wait 2+ weeks

Actual Results:

Total water: 11.5 gallons - would lessen to 10.75 - 11
Pre-boil volume: 8.25 gallons - would lesson to 7.75
Ending kettle volume: 7 gallons - would lessen to 6.5
Boil time: 90 min
Efficiency: 67%
OG: 1.080
FG: 1.011
ABV: 9.1%
Attenuation: 85%
IBU's: 110
SRM: 7.9

This recipe has been updated based on previous results.

Notes: Raisin, Dates, and Honey:
Honey should be added with dates and raisins along with molasses. Recipe pending.

Oak Chips should be left for no more than 3-4 days. Taste regularly to validate completion.

Vanilla beans were prepared by cutting the length of the bean, and gutting the pulp, and then cutting the bean into small subsections. Then, both the bean and the pulp were placed in a small sterilized container with grain alcohol for 5 days. After 5 days, the entirety of the container was poured into the beer and it was left to sit for 4 days. It should be left for much longer as the vanilla flavor disappeared over time, perhaps tossed in at bottling.

Lactose was added to the beer 1 month before bottling. The lactose sugars were boiled in water for 15 minutes, and then tossed into the final product during racking. The lactose was stirred into the beer. This process is best done at keg application or bottling where the beer will not rack off the lactose sugars for maximum effect.
