Notes: I brewed it when I saw the recipe on byo, it's ok.
I don't find it particularly special but a good ale to have for those days you are working in the yard and don't want to drink your prized beer. I usually add a lime for a little zest.

Notes: - Brewed on 11/10/18
- Heated strike water to 164F, doughed in and quickly settled at 153F mash temp
- Expecting mash efficiency of 76% which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.053. Took many samples inside which ranged from 12.7 to 13.1 (but hit 13.1 multiple times).
- Added brewing salts and lactic acid to the strike water prior to doughing-in
- Initial PH was X.X vs. 5.41 expected. PH meter still not calibrated correctly. So assuming expected mash PH was reached.
- Put honey into brew kettle at 130-140 degrees. Expecting honey to add ~4 gravity points so 1.057 then expecting boil to reduce down to 1.074 original gravity. Used 1 pound instead of 1.5 because I thought I was at 1.055 before honey addition instead of 1.053 expected and the 1 pound still added 4 points so 1.059. Turns out was only at 1.053 so prolly added 3 points getting me to 1.056.
- Ginger goes in at 60 minutes during the boil (in hop spider)
- Cinnamon goes in at 60 minutes during the boil (in hop spider)
- Original gravity was 16.2 plato which converts to 1.066. 10.75 gallons was left in the kettle after boil. 10.5 made it into fermenters. Expected the boil off to contribute more points. Something with the numbers when wrong and not sure where. Took multiple readings for OG and it consistently was ~16 plato. **Figured it out. Boil off and gravity point contributions vary depending on wort volumes. I based my assumptions off 5 gallon batches for this 10 gallon batch. Should have targeted a higher pre boil gravity (~1.064 to try and hit 1.074 original gravity).
- Packaged on 11/25. FG was 1.014 at 69F, which converts to 1.015 which implies 75% attenuation (which is what I expected) vs. 69% avg attenuation for the yeast.
- This beer scored a 39.5 and finished second in its category in the Square Kegs Winterbrew 2019 competition.

Notes: heated up filtered water - 3/4 qt for 3/4 lb grain. mashed for 60min, heating to 165 and trying to maintain 150. Check every 10-15 min with no heat and lid on. Had to add a little water here and there and add heat on occasion. Pre-heated 2.5 gal of water to 170 to use for sparging. Sparged to a separate pot with about 1 gal of water at 170. Poured wort in with 1.5 gal of 170 water and poured 1 gal of mixture over grains again. Composted grains and brought to a boil. Added 1.65oz Mosaic. After 15min, added 2oz Citra. After 15min, added 1oz Centennial. After 15 min, added 1 oz Amarillo. AFter 5 minutes, added 1 tsp Irish Moss. After 8 min, added 1 oz willamette. Off boil after 2 more min. Added 3 1/2 gal of near frozen bottled spring water. Wort chilled for about 20 minutes. Hot night so difficult to get down to temp. Pitched yeast at around 74 after added a small 4in ice bath and stirring crazily. Tested OG at 1.070. Could be the bottom of the fermentor was more full of crap, or that I got more from the grains....not sure. Could be more potent and hopefully the yeast can do their job.
Bubbles starting within 12 hours but were slow and deliberate. Little to no activity at 3 days. 4th day I tested the FG but got a ton of sludge. Read around 1.020. Added 4oz of Amarillo (dry hop). Taste was very bitter but considering that the sample was sludge, I wasn't surprised. I may pray a little more on this one. Leaving for Cali in a few days so will transfer it in another week and 3 days. Then we hope to get some sludge out.
Transferred after 9 days to the secondary. Loads of sludge. Loads. Didn't measure or taste.
IN the secondary for 1 week. Bottling was 39 bottles, 11 of which were 22oz. Due to the dry hop, there were just a few pices floating from the hops that clogged up my bottle filler and had to clear and re-sanitize 3 times during the process. Took 1 1/2 hours after I had racked my bottles to dry.
taste was good, bitter in the center of the mouth, no tongue, heat was more for this ABV (which made me think twice about my measurements).Not as much aroma as ithought for the dry hopping. Probably more to do with the 1oz at 2min. Next time more finishing AND dry hop.
I used 5.5oz of Corn Sugar which may be high. I think this will be a really good batch. |
