Notes: Add wheat malt at end of steeping and cool to 110-120 F (46 C). Steep 3 oz (80 g) of pilsner malt in a bag for 1-3 days, or until desired sour flavor has developed. Then boil for 15 minutes with hops.
Make sure to sterilize steeping bags before use.
I steep using 2.5 L of water, and souring is done in a zip-lock bag, with air squeezed out. Bag is submerged in a water bath with temp maintained with a sous-vide wand.
Normal BE recipes use uncracked grains. I used the remainder of my cracked ones, because I had them. |

Ferment at 62.
Add fresh watermelon juice after a week or so directly into fermenter (after most of fermentation has completed).
The internets has differing opinions on how much watermelon juice to add. 1qt to 2qts per 5g. A thread on homebrewtalk indicates that 2qts per 5g is the best result.

Notes: An Irish Red. Based on my family history, hailing from an Irish immigrant mother who landed in the states in mid-twentieth century.
While the family is not known for making a commercial ale the recipe its self is true to spirit from the period of the late late 1700's.
This will have a very easy smooth taste, very balanced. Not too sweet not too bitter.
I would suggest a 10 day fermentation period followed by a 2 week secondary. I bottle mine so I can share with everyone so I use 3/4 cup of table sugar boiled in 1 1/2 cup filtered water. I put that in the bottom of the bottling bucket so it gets evenly distributed in the wort with out adding in extra oxygen.
Bottoms up and enjoy.

Notes: Our take on a traditional "West Coast" style pale ale.
Mash schedule:
-Strike-In w/ 3.9 gal at 165 F (153 F sacch rest for 60 min)
-Mash-out at 168 F and sparge with 2.5 gal to collect 6.5 gal
5/10/15: Brew day for this one. Originally going to make a new version of Steve's Amber Ale using French ale yeast and a different hop bill but our yeast isn't in yet so we fixed this nice, hoppy APA's recipe up for today. Seems simple enough.
Brewing was fairly successful as far as hitting mash temps and what not. Good crush on the grain, only one last-minute substitution in the LHBS subbing honey malt for carafoam.
Yield was a bit low because we miscalculated strikewater and forgot absorption. Tried to compensate by thinning the mash 30 mins in with hot water. Seemed to work fine, actually. Gravity was a bit high after sparging and boil, so we diluted with .79gal boiled/cooled water before adding yeast. Ferm started the next night going hard.
5-14-15: adding dry hopping 8:30pm
5/30/15: FINALLY finished fermenting... has been dry-hopping for a couple weeks and we actually moved it to a warmer place to finish the primary ferm as the krausen still had not died down after a couple weeks. Finished at 1.010 (supposed to be 1.012, so that's an acceptable difference to us; slightly, slightly stronger but still in APA range at ~5.5% ABV), sample we took has a nice nose of pine, guava and apricot. Nice medium-heavy body for the style thanks to the addition of oats. Bottling maybe tonight, but may leave it in for another week. Don't think we'll do a secondary as it was fairly clear.
6/6/15: About to bottle this one now.
8/15/15: Kinda forgot to update on this one, but we've been damn busy doing all sorts of other recipes. Anyway, this rules after a couple months of conditioning. Very tropical and citrusy aroma. Papaya, guava, peach and other stone fruit, balanced bitterness. Pine seems to have faded and the Citra and Cascade are really taking hold. Pours a nice golden color with a few fingers of solid white head that dissipates to a finger or so after a few minutes. Body could be a bit thicker, so we're going to change the recipe to double the oats. We'll take a second look at the hop schedule if we brew this again, as well, but honestly it seems pretty solid so I'm not sure it needs much tweaking in that realm. It's a nice combo, really drinkable and is aging very solidly. Until next time. |
