Notes: Ended up at about 152F for the mash which was slightly higher than desired but oh well. I had to top off the mash with 1.5q of boiling water to bring it up. The hops were very pungent and had a slight spicy smell. I got really insane attenuation with the yeast. |

Notes: Brew day 05 Dec. 2014.
Cereal mash with 20% pale malt for un-malted wheat, added to main mash. Zest of 1/2 cutie added at flame-out and flesh of 1 cutie along with a bit of zest added at 4 days into ferment (Tuesday 09 December). 2 grams Mangrove Jack hefeweizen dry yeast for ferment, temperature 60F for first 3.5 days, then 71F for 3 days followed by return to 60F. Bottled Friday 19 December into (2) 550ML bottles and (6) 12 oz bottles for yield of approx. 108 oz. Primed 12 oz bottles with 2.9 gr. table sugar, 550 mL with 4.5 gr. for CO2 volume target of 3.4.
Wheat gelatinization temperature 136-147F.
Single sparge of grains with 1 gallon 170F water.
End of mash BRIX: 10.9
End of boil BRIX: 16 ( 3 quarts )
After topping up with 32 oz cold water to one gallon mark, BRIX: 12.5 (1.048-1.050 SG depending on source).
With following procedure efficiency was much improved vs previous recipes including unmalted wheat. From BeerSmith:
The process for performing the cereal mash phase is as follows:
Mill or grind your cereal adjuncts down into a fine grist – ideally smaller than your milled barley grains. Add about 20% of your total malted barley grains (i.e. Pale or Pilsner malt) to the cereal adjuncts. This malted barley will provide the enzymes needed to aid in converting and breaking down the sugars, as many cereal adjuncts don’t have sufficient enzymes by themselves.
Next add hot water at the rate of 2-3 quarts/lb (4-6 l/kg) to produce a fairly thin mash. This is a simple infusion, but you want to target the gelatinizing temperature ranges listed above depending on your adjunct. So if you are working with raw oats, for example, you need to be in the 127-138 F (53-59 C) range. Hold the gelatinization temperature ranfe for 20 minutes.
Slowly raise the temperature of the cereal mash up to a gentle boil and hold it for 20-30 minutes. As you do this the mash will go from a grainy mixture to a pretty sloppy gelatin mess that should coat the back of your spoon. When you reach the liquid goo phase, the cereal mash is good to go!
Finally add the gooey mixture into your main mash. If you are working directly with the hot liquid, you can often use a decoction calculator to figure out how high your starting mash temperature needs to be when adding the boiling cereal mash to hit your desired sugar conversion range – which is usually between 148-156 F (64-66 C). The other option is to use cold water to bring your cereal mash down to the target temperature before adding it to the main mash. After that you continue your conversion phase and sparge as you would with any regular all grain mash. |

Notes: Joe's Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone.
-Heat up 13 gallons of water to 170*F.
-Initially pour two gallons of heated water into mashtun and add the crushed grain.
-add 5 more gallons of heated water carefully checking the temperature to ensure 150-160*F temperature. Stir grain bed really well to get an accurate temperature.
-Let Mash rest for 75 Mash minutes, periodically checking the temperature and stirring the mash.
-At 0 Mash minutes, begin sparging of wort. Ensure wort is clear of grains before allowing wort to fill in boiling kettle. Flow rate should be monitored. Entire wort volume should take ~ 40 minutes before boiling kettle is filled.
-keep mashtun from running dry as boiling kettle fills by adding the remaining 170*F water periodically.
-Bring Wort to a rolling boil, Boil for 60 minutes.
-Hops/additives additions:
*0.5 oz Magnum hops for 60 minutes
*1.0 oz Perle hops for 60 minutes
*1 whirfloc tablet or Irish moss added at 15 minutes.
*Wort chiller added at 15 minutes.
*2.0 oz Cascade hops for 15 minutes
*1.0 oz Cascade hops for 0 minutes
-Bring wort to room temperature using immersion coil/ wort chiller.
-transfer wort fermenters and aerate by vigorously mixing.
-sprinkle Safale US-05 and mix. Seal fermenters and set aside for 3-7 days or until airlock bubbles slow to 1-5 bubbles every 60 seconds.
-Move to secondary for 7 days.
*3.0 oz Cascade hops dryhopped for 4-7 days in secondary.
-Once the trub bed is settled and there is no airlock activity, the beer can be bottled or kegged.
Bottling will require you to boil a mixture of maltodextrin and water. Use priming calculator to determine amount of maltodextrin and water to boil.
If you are kegging your beer like myself, shoot for a volume of CO_2 Level of 2.6. Set regulator to 10.8-12 psi and kegerator temperature to 36-38*F. That should do it.
