Notes: Brewed 4/12/14. Strike water was 171F and it brought it to 155F. I had to put a quart or cold water in the mash and recirculate 2 gal top get down to 149F. Mash pH was 4.9 which still seems pretty low since 5.4ish was predicted. Wondering if my meter is going or if something is really wrong? Boil kettle efficiency was 89%. Was shooting for 9 gal and only got 8.75 but that is ok. Recirculated (vorlaughed) for about 15min until it was clear. I sparged very slowly about a quart a minute. Had a very vigorous boil and probably got about 5.25 gal. Topped off with a little bit of water. Wort smelled a bit different than what I am used to and I am not sure what that was from. My efficiency went up and I am thinking that may have been to the re-circulation and slow sparge. The sugar may have had a impact too. Pitched at 73F however I cooled it down because I didn't want it to take off too crazily. 4/13 the beer was sitting at about 66F so I heated it up to 69F. I am trying to get it to about 70-72F but want to do it slowly. Temp got up to about 74F today (maybe for about 5 hours) and I cooled it back down to about 69F but then raised it back to about 71F. 4/14 beer maintained about 70F heated it up to about 71F. By evening it had creeped up to about 72F and fermentation seems to have slowed a bit too. 4/15 morning the beer was sitting at about 70F, by evening time it was sitting at about 71F. 4/16 it's been sitting at 70/71F all day. Going to bump it up in temp to help attenuation. Bumped it up to 76F, intended to do 74F but I think higher will be ok. 4/17 the temp had heated up to 78F by morning but I am thinking I will just leave it there as that is the upper limit of the yeast fermentation range. Gravity reading on 4/25 but it at 1.012 sample was very tasty. 5/7/14 I turned up the aquarium heater to 75F, not sure how hot that heated it too. On 5/9 I took it out of the heated bath. Bottled on 6/3/2014. Hopefully didn't carb it too much. |

Acidulated malt to adjust mash pH to 5.2 Mash the grains at 151°F (66°C) for 25 minutes. Vorlauf for 15 minutes then run off into the kettle. Sparge the grains and top up as necessary to get 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil 60 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. Whirlpool for 45 minutes, adding first whirlpool addition at the start and the next after 20 minutes. After the boil, chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 64°F (18°C). Aerate the wort and pitch the yeast (ensure a healthy pitch of the correct amount yeast). Ferment at 65°F (18°C). Add dry hops according to the schedule. Crash and remove dry hops on Day 11.
BREWER’S NOTES
Add acidulated malt to adjust the mash pH to 5.2 (1 percent of acidulated to malt per 0.1 of pH reduction needed). We target a 5:1 chloride-to-sulfate ratio in our mash and shoot for about 155 ppm of chloride. We also find we like our beers with a firmer bittering charge than is often seen. |

Notes: Hit 152 perfectly strike water was 175F. Efficiency was down so I had to supplement with corn sugar and malt extract. I barrel aged it in a 5 gallon whiskey barrel for about 6 weeks. This brew took 2nd place in the Wood Aged Category at BAM World Cup of Beer 2014. I ended up entering it as a British Barley wine as a base style because it didn't really have American characteristics anymore. |

Notes: After primary fermentation add 100gr defrosted raspberries per liter for a secondary fermentation.
After secondary fermentation cold crash to let the fruit drop.
Bottling options (individual bottles):
- bottle with cold brew coffee (guideline: 3% of volume)
- bottle with vodka based chili tincture (depends on tincture strength)
Cold brew coffee:
- use 500gr coarse milled beans with 2ltr water (1:4).
- Mix, steep for 24-48 hrs in fridge, strain, store refrigerated upto 2-4 weeks. |
