Notes: Don't add candi sugar until flame out to prevent scorching. Use a hop spider to help dissolve this.

Beer came out exactly as the numbers given here. Probably due to me giving the mash a lot of attention.

Notes are - Plum, fig and raisin. Big toasty malt aromas. All of which translates into the flavour with a little mild spicy note from the coriander and Perle hops. I am really happy with this and will brew it again.

Notes: # Notes about dried fruit contribution to gravity

source: nutritiondata.self.com

### Raisins (oz)

84 cal
17g sugar
1g protein

PPG ~ 27,93
DILUTE PPG ~ 25

### Figs (oz)

69,7 cal
13,4g sugar
1,4g starch
0,9g protein

PPG ~ 22,01
DILUTE PPG ~ 20

### Dates (oz)

78 cal
19g sugar
1g protein

PPG ~ 31,21
DILUTE PPG ~ 28

### Table Sugar (oz) (for reference)

sugar = 28g (== 1 oz)
PPG = 46

Puree fruits and add enough water to make a thin syrup. Boil to make a thicker syrup. I estimate this reduces the PPG (because of the water addition) by about 10%.

Fruits will probably add color, but maybe not as much as dark candi syrup? I'm totally guessing 60L.

♦ SESSION NOTES:
United Kingdom - Crystal 45L was changed out to US Crystal 40 (Phantom).
American Munich Light 10L was changed out to Best Malz (German) Munich Malt (Phantom).
Changed first addition hop from 0.9 to 1.0 oz.
Phantom didn't have WLP810 in stock so San Francisco WLP840 American Lager was used as substitute!
Started with 8.00 gallons of water. Too much water. 13.5 pds of grain did not seem to absorb as much after sparging. had to boil extra half hours to get it down to 5.5 gals final amount. 8.00 gallons will be the max. Changed again. End of Brew: left with 5 gallons. Had to add 1/2 gallons for 5.50.

♦♦ Use 3 Vials of San Francisco Lager Yeast WLP810 @ 62° CHANGE! 2 vials of WLP840 American Ale Yeast will be used.

WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast.
This yeast is used to produce the "California Common" style beer. A unique lager strain which has the ability to ferment up to 65 degrees while retaining lager characteristics. Can also be fermented down to 50 degrees for production of marzens, pilsners and other style lagers.
Optimum Ferment Temp. 58-65°F (14-18°C)

WLP840 American Lager This yeast is used to produce American style lagers. Dry and clean with a very slight apple fruitiness. Sulfur and diacetyl production is minimal. Attenuation: 75-80% Flocculation: Medium Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 50-55°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

♦ STANDARD BREWING NOTES:
Created 8 gallons sparge water. NEVER AGAIN Bring to 154° strike temperature
Prime pump. Push water through hose.
60 minutes – Add tablespoon 5.2 pH balancer
Add grain – Sparge at 152° for ___ minutes (Minimum 60)
(One gallon loss during sparge process)
Water burn rate: 1-1/2 gallon per hour.
Drain GRAIN from kettle. Adjust water height of ___ (7 gallons)
Boil clean water for end of boil session adjustment
Mash Option dark beers – Add x tablespoon Calcium Carbonate
60 minutes – Add 2 drops Fermcap
60 minutes – Add 5 tablespoon Gypsum for IPA (Optional)
WAKE UP!!!!!!
15 minutes – Add immersion chiller
15 minutes - Add Whirlfloc
10 minutes – Add 1 teaspoon Yeast Nutrient last 10 minutes
♦ Check to see if nozzle is pointed upwards

♦ KEGGING NOTES:
Purge oxygen with CO2
Chill keg 24 hours before force carbonation.
Force Carbonation Calculator: 20 psi 4 days
Volumes of CO2 2.5 at 36°F = 10.2 psi American Ales

♥ DRINKABILITY: Little to stronge and the yeast gives it a stronger taste too. Wish it had the California yeast in it for a softer flavor.

♦ Northern Brewer Hops - Origin and Description
Northern Brewer Hops is an England native who is seeing its days live out mainly in Germany and the U.S. There is a separate U.S. hops variety that was bred in the United States that has similar properties. This dual use hops had a higher alpha acid content for the time, however super alphas have doubled, even tripled the content since back in the day. With that said Northern Brewer hops grown in Germany, sometimes referred to as Hallertau Northern Brewer if grown in the region, has made its mark and is used throughout beer styles such as European Ales, Lagers, and Pilsners. It is also synonymous with steam beers as in Anchor Steam.

Northern Brewer hops is used for both bittering and aroma additions in the kettle. It has an alpha acid content of 7.0%-10.0% and is a well rounded variety. The bitterness is moderate and the aroma comes off as plump. As one of Germany's main high alpha hops, Northern Brewer is both versatile yet refined.

Notes: 3 whole fresh grapefruit peels in boil
Same 3 grapefruit a juiced and added at 10 in boil
2 whole fresh grapefruit peels boiled with priming sugar

The whole process took about two hours longer then necessary. There was an unintentional protein rest at 130 degrees for twenty minutes while heating some mash runoff to get the mash up to 150. Assumed the lower efficiency was due to lower mash temp that started at 150 but dropped to 144.
Taste is ok. Lacks grapefruit flavor though it does retain some grapefruit pith bitterness that lingers.
Grapefruit completely disappears after a few weeks in the bottle.

Notes: 10g of S04 yeast will be rehydrated at about 30C.
Saigo can mean 'last' and the similar 'Saigou' is also the first name of a famous local historical figure Saigou Takamori, the character the film 'Last Samurai' was based on. Saigou seemingly cheated death on many occasions and then allegedly committed ritual suicide when his army was defeated in Kagoshima.
Sadly, this will also be my last brew here, so 'Saigo' fits well.
This is listed as an Irish Red Ale, but I would be happy with it being a Brown Ale too.
This time the EKG hops are also a feature, so this could turn out more like Hobgoblin than my last Porter. Like last time, I am not attempting a clone due to the large amount of German Malt in the grain bill.
