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.

This method produces 2 separate Pale ales from one brew day. Soak 1 oz of vodka with 1 oz of hops in a mason jar for each of your 5 gallon pale ales.

The hop method maximizes hop efficiency and eliminates late boil hopping/whirlpool/hopback. Before flameout, fill each jar with boiling wort and loosely cover with lid.

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: Ferment in primary for 7 days, transfer to secondary and follow dry hop schedule. Leave in secondary until fermentation stops, add Gelatin 3 days prior to bottling and cold crash beer to clear up.

Bottle and leave 21 days at room temp to carbonate.

Refrigerate 3 days, enjoy!! This recipe matches the profile of this beer almost dead on..have fun brewing this one.

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.

Notes: Graf is a beer made with Cider replacing a large part of the water in the recipe. This one is a slightly hoppy German Hefeweizen, with a reduced boil of 4 gallons boiled down to 3, then adding 2 gallons of fresh pressed cider at the end of the boil and bringing the temp back up to 180 to sterilize any strange bugs before chilling and pitching the yeast.

Brew Day Notes: I did a thin mash at 1.5 quarts per pound grain. Got much better efficiency than typical, 76%, I usually hover around 70% with 1.25 qts/lb mash. 2 small sparges still took me to nearly 5 gallons so I had to boil for 1:30 to get down to 3 gallons. I added 2 gallons cider that I just pressed and took the temp to 180. Then chilled and pitched the yeast. Cider this year is very sweet 15.2 - 17 brix. smaller apples from the hot dry summer seem to have have condensed sugar and flavor.

Keg day note: Beer finished at 1.008! Incredible attenuation. Tastes fantastic, hefe with a cider twang as you would expect. Naming this beer 'Skull Splitter' for 2 reasons. Super high ABV and I fractured my skull on a fluke accident harvesting apples this year.
