Notes: A centuries old German sour beer, rose to popularity in the 16th to 19th century, and declined to its near death in the 20th century. Recently revived by American craft brewers, this style has seen commercial success from many famous commercial breweries. For this recipe, we'll be using a special souring technique called the kettle souring technique; which does not require dedicated fermenting equipment.

BREWING PROCESS
1. Bring 2.5 to 3 Gallons of filter water to 160F in your kettle. Add steeping grains to muslin sock, steep grains for 30 min. Once 30 min has elapsed, remove grain bag and discard.

2. Remove kettle from heat. Stir in both liquid and dry malt extract, being sure to continuously stir to prevent scorching. Return kettle to heat.

3. Bring to boil. Boil for 15 minutes. IMPORTANT: do not add hops, and do not count this is part of the boil. This is the part where this recipe differs from typical extract brews. This step is to sanitize your wort and prepare it for kettle souring.

4. Shut off heat. Remove kettle, add filtered or mineral water until wort volume is 4 gallons. Cool wort to 100F.

5. Leave wort in kettle. Pitch Lactobacillus culture into wort. Can also use GoodBelly Probiotic shots, found at most grocery stores.

IMPORTANT: Assure none of your equipment, hydrometers, etc besides kettle comes in contact with the wort. Once inoculated with Lactobacillus Bacteria, equipment that touches the wort becomes "infected", and can lead to infections in other brews. The kettle will be heat sanitized during the following boil, and therefore is safe.

6. Place lid on kettle and wrap with plastic wrap to make as airtight as possible. Allow to sit for 48 hours at 100F, or 4 days at 70F.

7. Retrieve kettle. Remove wrapping and bring to rolling boil. Once boiling, it is safe to use equipment with wort again. Boil for 60 with proper hop additions. Add irish moss at 15 minutes remaining. Cool to 80F, add to sanitized fermenter, and pitch yeast.

8. Allow to ferment for two to three weeks at room temperature (62 to 72F). Once done fermenting, boil 4 oz of provided bottling sugar to 1.75 cups of water. Boil on stove for 5 minutes, allow to cool to room temperature. Add sugar water mixture to beer and stir gently, or to bottom of bottling bucket and rack beer into bucket.

9. Bottle beer and cap. Allow to sit for 2 to 3 weeks at room temperature in dark, until bottles are sufficiently carbonated.

Congrats! You've brewed a sour beer!

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: Directions:

1. Spread the pumpkin into a shallow pan and bake at 350°F for 60 minutes.

2. Tie the crystal 20L and chocolate malt in a small mesh hop bag. Place the bag in 5.5 gallons of water in a 7.5 gallon pot and immerse the grain.

3. Begin to heat, making sure mesh bag isn’t sitting directly on the bottom of the pot. Remove the grain bag when the temperature reaches 170°F.

4. Bring wort to a vigorous boil. As water is heating, slowly add 4.8 pounds of light dry malt extract and the baked pumpkin, stirring constantly until completely dissolved. When the boil begins, add 1/2 ounce Northern Brewer hops in a mesh bag.

5. After a total of 55 minutes has passed, add the maple syrup and the pumpkin pie spice.

6. After total of 60 minutes of boil, remove from heat. Warning: After wort cools below 180°F everything that touches it should be sanitary, and exposure to open air should be limited as much as possible.

7. Cool wort by placing pot in ice bath or by using a wort chiller until it is at 65°F. Transfer to sanitized fermentor (either a carboy or a fermentation bucket).

8. Use a sanitized auto-siphon racking cane to remove enough wort to take a gravity reading with your hydrometer. Make a note of this number, since you will be using it to calculate the actual alcohol content when it's done fermenting. The reading should be around 1.057. Cover fermentor with a sanitized stopper and airlock.

9. Agitate vigorously for at least 5 minutes or aerate using pure oxygen for 1 minute. Add 1 package of Safale US-05

10. Ferment for at least 14 days at 64-68°F

11. Bottle after conditioning is complete, using enough priming sugar for a medium level of carbonation.

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.
