Notes: Mash and sparge, bring up to a brief boil then chill to 110*
kettle sour using L. Plantarum
Maintain ambient temp of 100* in fermentation chamber for 48 hours, aiming for a pH of 3.4
60 minute boil following hop schedule
Cool and pitch 1 pack of G02
Add blackberries at 7 day and allow at least 7 more days before crashing
I generally take fresh blackberries and sanitize them briefly in Starsan. I then freeze to break down the cell walls, thaw and gently mash in a sanitized bowl before adding to beer. I highly recommend using a hop bag to keep seeds out of the beer. |

Notes: This is my attempt at making a beer as delicious as the amazing Plum Porter by Titanic Brewery.
I've brewed this once and it made a very nice beer but lacked some roast character. I think this is because I relied on the Carafa special and amber malt for the roastiness and it was missing a bit of chocolate or roasted barley. Not normally being a big fan of dark beers I was a bit afraid of using these ingredients but if I were making it again I would add 150g of chocolate malt. I also need to look into the amber malt which I have used before and had a much bigger malty hit from. I bought it from the same shop but I wonder if they changed suppliers as it didn't have the same impact on the beer.
I stewed the plums and then added them for the last 10 minutes of the boil as I didn't want to end up with a sour beer. After fermentation I couldn't really detect a significant plum flavour at all so used some natural plum essence http://www.uncleroys.co.uk/natural-flavours/natural-plum-essence.html.
It is potent stuff and after trying an unflavoured pint and adding drops of it till I thought the level was right, i went for 100 drops into 22L in the bottling bucket. I think this was a bit too much at least for my taste. The plum aroma was very strong. The flavour was about right but the aroma was too intense for a beer. If I make it again and I add the chocolate malt I would reduce the plum essence to 75 drops. If I made this recipe again with the lower roastiness I would cut the plum essence back to 60 drops. I'm sure this is a matter of personal taste though.
The yeast I used was actually Brewlabs Essex strain which attenuated a fair bit lower than I planned at 64%.

Notes: Process for fermenting a low alcohol lager:
Ferment 2 weeks at 52°F
Let rise to 65°F For 1 week
Crash cool at 38°F for several days
Rack to secondary
Let rise to 65°F for 1 week
Crash cool at 38°F for 3 weeks
The rule for a lager, is it needs to be aged for several months, including fermentation, but then you need to drink quick! Several weeks in the bottle it's perfect, then it starts to fall off.
If you are using the Cream Ale Yeast Blend, you can ferment in the low to mid 60s (I prefer around 58-62°F) until fermentation starts to slow, then raise to the high 60S (68°F) for about a week. Leave it in the primary a total of about 4 weeks, to ensure all the sulfur has driven off (for single stage, or rack to secondary after 3 weeks for lagering.) Crash cool and keg or go straight to bottles. |

Notes: Tweaking the recipe: lower efficiency based on planned batch sparging, upped the dry hops a bit based on planned use of gelatin for fining. Might also slightly adjust the crush on the barley mill. Should adjust to .032"-.035"
Desired: 7 gallons for boil
At 1.25 qt/lb, need 1.25*16 = 20 quarts, or 5 gallons of strike water. If we lose approximately .12 gal/lb, we'll lose 1.92 gallons, and collect 3.08 gallons of wort. Thus we should add .42 gallons (6.72 cups) of water before collecting the first runnings.
After, we add 3.5 gallons of additional sparge water, vorlauf, and run off the rest of the wort. |
