Notes: This is a very tart cherry flavored beer and an easy drinker at about 5% ABV. Had it in the primary 9 days, made a slurry from the cherries for the secondary where it sat for 8 days. Carbonation was slow going (around 2.5 weeks) but once there the cherry flavor really livens up. Next time I would only give it 7 days in the secondary to try to speed that up. Enjoy!!

Notes: Brewed 10/14/2013. Hit 1.093 on the boil efficiency. Brew had a few hiccups. The main one being that the false bottom got clogged with hops and hot break and caused about a gallon or so of wort to be left over in the kettle. We had to stir with a sanitized spoon and remove the gunk in order to get the flow going. Efficiency suffered because of this but it's probably ok. We might use a mixture of DME and corn sugar to bump the beer up as that will add a bit more body without drying it out too much. Also used fermcap for the first time in the boil and it seemed to work pretty well keeping down the foam. Temps were kept low on 10/14 and 10/15. Mornin of 10/16 I looked and the temp had crept up to about 69F so I cooled it back down to about 64F. Hopefully it wasn't there for too long and negatively effected things. 10/17 the temp in the morning had drifted back up to about 68F. I chilled it back down to about 64 and the krausen seems to have dropped quite a bit. 10/18 I pitched the wlp99 as well as a pound of DME with nutrient and ferm-k which brought the beer volume up to about 4.5 gallons. It's sitting at about 67F currently. 10/18 added another pound of DME in the evening which probably added about 3 cups of volume. 10/19 topped off with another pound of DME and yeast nutrient. I believe I am right at about 5 gallons now. 10/20 I started the corn sugar additions. Did 8oz in water in the morning and evening. 10/21 in the morning I added half a pound of corn sugar with fermen-k and in the evening I added the other half pound. 10/22 topped off with another half pound in the morning and took a reading in the evening which put it at 1.040. Decided to hold off on another addition until it dropped down more. 10/23 it was at 1.036 so I added another half pound of corn sugar. 10/24 reading was 1.032 and I added a half pound more of corn sugar in the evening. Afternoon of 10/25 I added a half pound more sugar and the reading was 1.030 before hand. 10/26 added a half pound of corn sugar in the evening, took a gravity reading before which read 1.030.10/28 I took a reading which put it at 1.032 and I topped off with a half a pound of corn sugar. It seems like a lot of yeast has dropped it out this might actually be it. 10/30/13 I made a liter starter of champagne yeast and then pitched in the brew. I was hoping to do it at high krausen but I think I missed the window. I need to take a reading after all the sediment drops out from the shaking. Reading was 1.035. 11/1/2013 took a reading which put the brew at 1.032. I added a pound of corn sugar in also to see if anything will happen. 11/3/2013 took a gravity reading which put it at 1.040. Learned the champagne yeast I used might not have been the right type so I made about a .8 liter starter of different yeast and pitched it on 11/7/2013. Took a reading on 11/13 and had no movement in gravity. Racked to secondary, which is a corny keg with an airlock attached to the gas out side, on 11/15/2013. Intend on leaving it there for a while. 12/12/13 I pulled about 1.5 pints off of the bottom of the keg to try and get some of the yeast sediment out of the secondary. Took a reading and it's still sitting at about 1.040. I also added 3oz of oak cubes which I soaked in some Jameson for a couple days before. I put them in a mesh bag so they wouldn't clog up the corny keg. 1/26/14 racked out of the storage keg into another keg for force carbing purposes, this also stopped the oaking process.

Notes: This is the first of 3 experiments on base malts. Yes its not what you'd expect for a malt experiment, high IBU and some pretty flavor tweaking special malts. But I dont really care what the base malts 'taste like by themselves' as much as how they taste in my favorite brews, IPA's :) All ingredients are kept common except the main malt bill. American Rahr 2 row, Experiment 2 will be German Munich Malt. Experiment 3 English Maris Otter. Ill report back after making and tasting all 3.

Note still a 60 minute boil, but I achieve the IBU I want with more hops and not adding them until 30 minutes in, to maintain more hop flavor and aroma. Takes slightly more hops but worth it IMO.

Notes: 2 packs yeast, semi-clone of Sam Adams Double Agent IPL. I really liked that Sam when I tried it, so I put together a recipe that mirrors it pretty closely. The color may be a little lighter, but the IBU's and ABV are dead on as far as I can tell. 4 packets Nottingham, 44g. Or go with Wyeast Cali Lager smack pack and create 2L starter and then pitch.

Notes: The orange juice came from a bunch of over ripe tangerines that were boiled skin and all and then sieved to make a clear juice. The juice has some of the bitterness of the pith plus the flavor and sweetness of the juices.

The coriander is crushed and then boiled in the orange juice to eliminate any bacteria.

The juice less the coriander seeds are placed in the secondary and the beer slowly added to reduce any chance of oxidation.

leave for one week then bottle to condition.

Notes: This recipe uses the Palmer Brewing method:

- Make up wort in 3 US gal (11.4L) of cold water (on the heat) using half of the total DME. Heat the water up to steep temperature before adding the steeping grains.
- At the end of the boil add the remaining DME and allow the final hop addition to steep.
- Cool and add the wort to 3 US gal (11.4L) of cold water in the fermentor to make up target volume.

Notes: BW#2
Based on the original recipe this time I want to achieve the following:

*No DMS this time, not sure how to do this but more attention to the heating of the wort in the boiler and CO2 blanketing
*Dry hop to hell! 100g in 4.5lts worked a treat so I would like to dry hop this one with 300g of Cascade.
*No stuck mash, not sure if this is entirely possible but I have added rice hulls to this recipe to ensure that I get a better runoff
*No addition of Maltodextrin at the end of fermentation. This time I shall ensure that the lactobacillus culture is active and lively before pitching with the US05
*I shall be adding a good 1-2lt pitch of my house culture of lactics and wild yeast cultured from some grain suspended in a demijohn of wort. This has been drained and fed a couple of times and I am pretty sure I also added some dregs from a lambic bottle too.
*Increase head retention: Add enough 80% Lactic Acid in the wort prior to heat/boil/fermentation to reduce the pH down to 4.4 apparently this will inhibit the lactics breaking down the large proteins I need for head retention. We shall see.

Mash Schedule:
*Dough in 11lts of liquor at 62°C(?) to start the mash at 52°C
*Leave for 10 minutes
*Remove approximately 30% of the mash and put in a large saucepan
*Add 30g of Fuggle hops
*Heat to 60°C and hold for 1-2 minutes
*Bring to a boil and leave for 20 minutes
*Return the boiled decoction to the main mash and stir
*Mash temp should now be 63°C
*Leave for 45 minutes
*Fly sparge with near boiling water (95°C)to collect 26lts in the boiler
*Adjust wort pH in the boiler using 80% Lactic Acid, before heating, to a pH of 4.4
*Heat until bubbles appear
*Chill to 20°C
*Pitch yeast and house culture

Extra Cultures Being Added:

*Vicaris - Triple/Geuze
*Odell - 5 Barrel Pale Ale
*Siren Craft Brewery - Gouttière Saison
*Wild Beer - Solera Aged Beer

Well I've done it, I placed 2nd in the London & SE Home Brew Competition in April 2015
See the link for the website, I knew this was a great beer, it was balanced and hoppy, but every time I opened a bottle I just thought 'wow Ive done it'
Much thanks goes to Michale Tonsmeire. Cheers!

Notes: 1. Brown sugar added as syrup on day three of primary fermentation.
2. Honey is added as a syrup to secondary on day one.
3. Primary fermentation is 9 to 10 days.
4. Secondary fermentation is for two weeks.
5. Carboy is then cold crashed at 34 degrees F for 5 days.
6. Gelatin solution is then added and allowed to settle for another 3 days.
7. At this point I will rack this to a keg or bottling bucket.
