| Notes: Brewed 2/10/14. Blocked the false bottom on accident in the mash tun due to float so I had to transfer it to the kettle and then back to the tun. Topped off with 3/4 of a gallon of water to hit 151F. pH was 5.2 (estimated at 5.4). Hit 85% kettle efficiency. Efficiency was a it lower than usual might have been from sparging too fast. Runoff was also quite cloudy so not sure if that had something to do with it. False bottom got clogged a couple times when draining into the carboy. Possibly too much pellet hops and hot/cold break. Temp on day one of fermentation is about 64F. 2/12/14 temp has been between 65-67F. Added 3/4 of a pound of corn sugar in about a cup of water to boost up the OG. 2/13/14 temps were about 68/69F. 2/14/14 took out of the swamp bath and brew is sitting at about 71F. Dry hopped on 2/24/14 when all signs of fermentation were done. 3/5/14 biofined with 2 tbls. Cold crashed 3/7/14. Racked to keg 3/9/14. Pretty tasty IPA that has a bit of that catty thing going on. Wondering if I repeat this if I should switch all citra additions to 0min. Took 2nd place in the category in the Bridging the Gap competition. |

Notes: Remember to crush spices. Use my suggestions or add Christmasy spices of your choice (Cardamom, Cinnamon/Cassia, Vanilla, Nutmeg, Ginger, Anis, Cloves etc).
For simplicity add everything with 10 minutes left of boil except the mahlab and the cherries, which are added at the end of boil. |

Notes: Honey is added at end of primary directly to fermenter and should be soft varietal like orange blossom.
1/2 minerals added at mash the other half added during the boil after sparging.
Lacto starter made with 2 gallons warm apple juice - 90 degrees plus. Pitch and let sit for one week. Add to primary when the yeast is pitched.
Ferment at 64 then let naturally rise into mid to high 70's to finish. Add honey/fruit after the malt has mostly finished fermenting. Keep honey ferment cool then let free rise after a few days. Add oak once most of ferment is done before racking for 5 days.
Total water needed is 6 gallons. Mash strike temp is 6 gallons at 130 degrees to hit protein rest at 120 for 15 min then raise for 45 minutes to 148 with Herms and then mash out at 170. Only collect first running's as all water added to mash. Collect 3 gallons after 90 min boil and add 1 gallon honey and 2 gallons Apple juice.

| Notes: Heated the strike water to 173. Drained half through the tube into the tun and then doughed in. I hit 150 without having to add anything. Temp dropped 1.5 degrees over the hour. I drained off about 2.5 gal and brought, brought it to a boil, and added it back in while sturring for a mashout. I sparged slowly until I hit 7.5 gal. When I took the reading it was the OG that I needed/wanted without adding the Turbinado. I figured with boil down and top off it would be enough to not need to further sparge and use that to top off. I did top off to 7.5gal at 15min in the boil. I also forgot to add yeast nutrient so I boiled and added some while cooling. I ended up collecting 6.5gal of wort from the boil. |

Notes: Won 1st place in the combined Light Lagers & Pilsners category at the 2010 Granite City homebrew contest. Results may be found at the link, below.
https://www.facebook.com/notes/granite-city-food-brewery/gcfb-homebrew-contest-winners-congratulations/107914039254067
Collect 13.5 gal at 160F, to hit 13.75 gal at boiling (0.98/0.96 = 0.98 density ratio at 160 F vs 212 F). Boil down to 12.25 gallons.
Fill Levels
Start : 13.5 gal = 3.25"
(13.75 gal = 2.95")
Finish : 12.25 gal = 4.6"
Pre-boil OG should be around 1.044 for a 76% extraction efficiency.
Start Vol = 13.25 (68F)
Stop Vol = 11.75 (68F)
Ratio = 1.13
Gravity= 44 * 1.13 = 49
Boil from 13.75 down to 12.25 gallons. It will shrink to 11.75 gal. Leaving behind 0.5 gal in the Whirlpool & 0.25 gal in the CFC will give 11 gallons total (5.5 gallons into each fermentor).
Pitch 775 Billion cells (for 11 gallons)
~800 mL of slurry (1B cell/mL, 50% yeast)
~200 gm of propagated yeast slurry
~409 gm of harvested yeast slurry (2B cells/gm)
-Try to measure out 300 gm of slurry per fermentor (600 total), assuming a 50% factor of safety. |

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.

Add the FWH hops during runoff to allow hops to steep in hot wort as the mash is sparged.
