Carbonation hurt this beer at NHC finals. Got a 34, which is good, but not good enough to medal. Drop the carb, mash at 158, and add even more juniper next time.
____________________________
Brew Day Notes:
Forgot to add the berries to the mash, so added 50 g at FO.
Flame Out additions:
.20 g lightly crushed clove, .25 g lightly crushed grains of paradise, .5 g lightly crushed rosemary, 50 g lightly crushed juniper berries, plus box of Finnish tea with juniper.
25 lbs grain with hulls and 8 gallons water is the MAX the tun can handle!
Strike water was 19 degrees over target mash of 158, but was still not enough. Mash was 155F. So try 22 degrees over next time. Also consider a 45 minute mash.
Pre boil gravity was 1.072 (goal was 1.079), so increased the boil to 2 hours total to hit the PBG and the resulting OG of 1.092. Hop IBU's were maxed out already with the 90 minute addition, so boiling longer was no issue. Resulted in only about 4.5 gallons into the fermenter, though...
Tasting Notes:
Finally got the juniper to come through! Beer is strong, dark, viscous, and malty, with the juniper coming in over the top and the weizen yeast adding some fruit and clove, as do the spices. I carbed it like a Belgian Quad, because it's hard to drink low or non-carbed beer!

Notes: Pull a thick decoction, raise the decoction to 158 °F (70 °C) for 20 minutes, raise to boil, boil for 10 minutes, remix and hit 158 °F (70 °C).
The combined mash should now be at 158 °F (70 °C), allow to rest for 30 minutes.
Pull a thin decoction, bring to a boil for 10 minutes, then remix to hit 170 °F (77 °C). Rest at mashout temperature for 15 minutes while mixing.
Caution to minimize Hot Side Aeration. |

| Notes: Buddy was kind enough to gift me some Great Lakes hop varieties! Brewed this up using the tropical fruity varieties. Read great things about this combination. I live in a hot tropical climate, so kveik yeast works the best for me, bonus is I'm ready bottle in a few days! |
