Notes: Excellent flavor and strong hops bouquet. Hops blend (Simcoe, Columbus, Citra) gives notes of pine and citrus fruit with some of the unique floral and berry characters of Citra. Cascade goes in early in the boil due to low alpha content. Most of the bitter come from the Hop add with 15 minutes to go. Dry hopped Cascade to give it an all American balance. Medium bitterness with strong hop aroma and flavor. Higher than normal alcohol content for APA, at top of the band, but it fits. Almost an IPA, but would need to start with a higher gravity. You can lower the alcohol by dropping the wheat extract, but adjust the hops too or it'll be too bitter.
Yeast starter - use 3.6 oz (103g) dry malt extract (DME) [I use pilsner 2L DME] per liter of water. My starter is a 1 liter starter, assumed 6B cells per gram of dry yeast (US-05), giving 165B cells for a 144B requirement. If you aim for a pitch rate between .5 and .75million/ml/P, then it's good. You could just buy a couple more yeast packages to make it easier (which I will do next time!!) (each packet is about 66B cells). Then there's no need for a starter. Just hydrate them with tepid water before adding to wort. Aim for around 200B cells for a 5.5 gallon batch.
Grains added to cold water, which was heated to 165F and steeped for 30 minutes.
There are only three hop adds to the boil: 60 min, 15 min (with the Irish moss), and a quick 5 min in the boil. Use hop bags because it makes draining your wort significantly easier!, but don't put the moss in the bag!
Boil off losses should be topped off with distilled water during the boil.
Maintain in primary (at 70F, keep below 74F to avoid off flavors) until no noticeable bubble formation in fermentation lock over one-minute period (about 7-10 days). Then transfer to secondary and add dry hops in a sanitized hop bag secured with fishing line and weighted down with sanitized marbles to suspend in middle of carboy. 14 more days in secondary. Remove dry hops and bottle as below. [Post brewing note: 4 oz of dry hops are a lot! Even with 20 marbles, I was not able to submerge the hop bag completely. This is easier with a bucket type fermenter. Stuffing the hop bag through the tiny carboy opening is a chore and takes some time and patience, but it can be done!]
Priming with 5oz corn sugar, gives strong carbonation with good head retention. |

Notes: After primary rack off yeast to improve hop aroma. Stagger dry hop additions a day apart over 7 days to build complexity.
45 g Simcoe 11
65g Amarillo 8
65g Citra 12.7
30g Mosaic 11.3
FG is high so bittering higher than normal to balance.
Mash lower end to help attenuation andlower FG |

Notes: 9/27/15: Created 1.3 liter starter of 1.023 wort, and added one vial of WLP-648 (Brett Drie) and dregs from Surly Pentagram (Brett Bruxellensis and Claussenii). Finished with an estimated 21 billion cells.
10/5/15: Stepped up with a 2.5 liter starter of 1.040 wort. Very fruity aroma, strong fermentation. Finished with an estimated 110 billion cells.
10/18/15: Stepped up with 3 liter starter of 1.040 wort. To finish with an estimated 319 billion cells.
10/28/15: Created a 1 liter 1.040 starter of OYL-605 (L. brevis and L. plantarum).
10/29/15: Brew day. Original gravity of 1.042 temperature corrected to 1.046. Very murky; trub from the Carapils? The high wheat content? Hopefully fermentation, time, and the brett will clean it up. Added 22mL lactic acid solution and pitched lacto starter around 11pm.
10/30/15: Pitched yeast and around 300mL of starter medium into wort ~24 hours after pitching lacto.
10/31/15: Fermentation slowly started, but about 24 hours after pitching yeast, a noticeable krausen had formed and was blowing off.
11/1/15: Krausen subsided, but vigorous fermentation still underway. Looks like the lactic acid didn't lower the pH sufficiently to prevent foam degradation from the lactobacillus.
11/9/15: Fermentation has slowed over the past three days, but there is still significant activity. |
