Notes: McQuaker’s Oatmeal stout
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.055 (13.5 °P)
FG = 1.016 (4.1 °P)
IBU = 28 SRM = 35 ABV = 5.1%

Ingredients
8.5 lb. (3.85 kg) Thomas Fawcett & Sons Maris Otter pale ale malt
(or similar English pale ale malt)
14.1 oz. (400 g) Great Western flaked oats 1 °L<
10.6 oz. (300 g) Briess Victory® malt 28 °L 10.6 oz. (300 g) Thomas Fawcett & Sons chocolate malt 350 °L
7.1 oz. (200 g) Thomas Fawcett & Sons roasted barley 500 °L 7.1 oz. (200 g) Thomas Fawcett & Sons crystal malt 85 °L
7.5 AAU Kent Goldings pellet hops (60 min.) (1.5 oz./42 g at 5% alpha acids) White Labs WLP002 (English Ale) or Wyeast 1968 (London ESB) yeast

Step by Step
Spread the flaked oats out on a cookie sheet and toast them in the oven around 300 °F (149 °C) until they begin to slightly color up and give off a nutty oatmeal cookie character. Mill all of the grains together and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.5 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight) and a temperature of 154 °F (68 °C). Hold the mash at 154 °F (68 °C) until enzymatic conversion is complete. Infuse the mash with near-boiling water while stirring or with a recirculating mash system raise the temperature to mash out at 168 °F (76 °C). Sparge slowly with 170 °F (77 °C) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 5.9 gallons (22.3 L) and a gravity of 1.046 (11.5 °P).

The total wort boil time is 60 minutes. Add the hops once the wort reaches a full boil and then start your timer. Add Irish moss or other kettle finings with 15 minutes left in the boil.

Chill the wort to 68 °F (20 °C) and aerate thoroughly. The proper pitch rate is two packages of liquid yeast or 1 package of liquid yeast in a 2-liter starter. Ferment at 68 °F (20 °C). When fermentation is finished, carbonate the beer to approximately 2 to 2.5 volumes.

After sparging we had only 6 gallons in the kettle, and decided to add 0.5 gallons so we could still boil 6.5.

Pitched 3/4 pack of WLP300 @ 72F into temperature controlled catalyst fermenter set to 72F - started bubbling in approximately 2 hours. 5.5 gallons made it into the fermenter. Extremely vigorous fermentation after 24 hours with high amount of CO2 blowoff. Vigorous fermentation lasted for approximately 48 hours, and continued to ferment with a medium amount of blowoff for the next two days.

Multiple E3 errors encountered during mash. Fixed by letting sit for 5 minutes, resetting bottom switch, and doing only 80% power. Wort started a milk color and was a transparent straw color by the time we boiled. Recirculation was used for the full duration of all temperature rests past the first 5 minutes.

Softish water profile for pale/malty

Triple Decoction using quart ladle

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Plans for next brew day:

Use both floor-malted wheat and pils - these have higher proteins

Only do two decoctions instead of three to maximize flavor but minimize protein consumption by milliard reaction

Attempt to get as much body as possible by blowing through protein rest temperature quickly with a rapid heat combined with decoction addition

Citra on the nose and an initial sharp hit that mellows on the back of the throat.

To be tested with a gluten kit. Aiming for well below 20ppm

Notes: High Sierra Pale Ale
Author: BYO Staff
Issue: Jan/Feb 2005
"We start most new homebrewers with an American Pale Ale because of its simple nature and great flavor. The style of American pale ale for the AHA is characterized by American-variety hops used to produce high hop bitterness, flavor and aroma. This bold hop flavor balances out with smooth low to medium maltiness. Good pale ale starts with light extract or pale malt and crystal malt for color and sweetness."

– Gary Wilder, Tucson, Arizona

High Sierra Pale Ale

5 gallons/19 L, extract with grains; OG = 1.060; FG = 1.014; IBUs = 51; ABV = 5.9%

Ingredients:

6 lbs. (2.7 kg) light dry malt extract
1 lb. (0.45 kg) crystal malt (10 ºL)
4 oz. (112 grams) crystal malt (40 ºL)
1 oz. (28 grams) Chinook hops (bittering)
1 oz. (28 grams) Cascade hops (flavor)
1 oz. (28 grams) Cascade hops (aroma)
5 oz. (140 grams) priming sugar
1 pkg. brewers yeast
1 grain steeping bag
1 hop bag (for flavor hops)
Step by step:

Add 3 gallons (11.4 L) of water to your pot. Empty grains into the steeping bag. Tie bag and place into pot. Bring temperature of water and grains to 155 ºF (68 ºC) and steep for 30 minutes.

Remove the grain bag from the steeping water and squeeze excess water and discard bag and grains. Bring this to a boil. Remove from heat and add all malt extract. Bring this mixture to a boil and add bittering hops directly into the pot.

Allow the wort to boil for 45 minutes. Add the flavoring hops. Boil for an additional 15 minutes. Put 2.5 gallons (9.5 L) of cold water in a 6.5-gallon (24.7-L) primary fermenter and add the hot wort.

Put on the lid and airlock. Fill airlock half way with water. Allow the wort to cool to 75 ºF (24 ºC) or below. When the temperature reaches 75 ºF (24 ºC) it is time to pitch your yeast.

Before the yeast is pitched take your original gravity reading. Never drop the hydrometer directly into the wort, but pull some wort out and test in a tube or large glass. Follow the directions on the package of yeast before pitching.

Put the lid and airlock back on fermenter. Keep the fermenter in an area, which will maintain a constant temperature of below 75 ºF (24 ºC), but no lower than 60 ºF (16 ºC). Fermentation should start in 8 to 48 hours. Between 3 and 5 days the fermentation will slow or appear to stop.

This is a good time to use your hydrometer to test your specific gravity. After 5 days transfer to your secondary if you are using one. Add the aroma hops now. This is called dry hopping.

Condition your beer for 7 to 10 days or until it clears. It is now time to bottle your beer. Wash all bottles in hot soapy water and rinse. Use the sanitizer of your choice to sanitize your bottles. Dissolve 5 oz. (140 grams) of priming sugar in 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Place this in your sanitized bottling bucket. Using the siphon equipment transfer your beer to the bottling bucket.

Attach your tubing to the spigot on your bottling bucket and fill your sanitized bottles. Leave at least 1” of air space in each bottle. Cap all bottles immediately.

Store your beer at 70–75 ºF (23 ºF) to carbonate and age in the bottle for at least 10 days. Aging time varies from type and style of beer. Chill and enjoy!

Notes: Ferment: 10C.
After the fermentation has finished, chill the beer to below 5C(if you can) wait for 10 days and then rack the beer off the yeast into another bucket. The yeast left in suspension will carry on working its magic to create really clean, crisp lager flavours.

Notes: Fermented to around ~1.02 before it seemed the saccharomyces stalled, about a week and a half. Let rest in fermenter for another 4.5 weeks and gravity dropped to 1.008, bottled at this point.
