Notes: Vorlouf just enough to get bits of grain out then take some of the first runnings (usually 1.5-2 gallons) to the stove-top and add in the 1/2 lb of Muscovado Sugar (use in lieu of brown sugar). Boil for 30 minutes, then turn down heat and simmer for another 30 minutes. Add back to run-off, then proceed with boil.
I'd do two-step yeast starters, one at 1.040, then another at 1.080 to get the yeast tolerant for the higher ABV before pitching in 1.14.
Be sure to use yeast nutrient... and oxygenate/stir well prior to pitching.
If you have extra yeast from the starter at 1.080, save it and add at bottling. CBC-1 at a rate of ~ 1.8 g per 5 gallons, properly rehydrated
Aim for 5.3-5.5 pH due to roasted malts adding acidity in mash that can lower pH.
May finish at 13' or 14'P (1.053-1.057)
BSG/Rahr for base
Simpsons for caramel/crystal
Primary fermentation done in 7-10 days, let it sit for 28-days.
Barrel-aged beers don't crash
Clean stouts get cold-crashed for 1-2 weeks for softer/rounder beer
Bottle condition for 1+ month |

Notes: Note to future self: Ground malt to midway between the 0.05 and 0.025 settings (so 0.0375?), and ended up too fine and it didn't drain well from the mash tun.
This recipe is based on Vytautas Jančys's Keptinis recipe from Historical Brewing Techniques by Lars Marius Garshol.

Otherwise, very normal brew until the end of the mash at which point I covered a baking sheet in spent grain (this was only a small portion of the overall grain), and baked it. Since the wort wasn't draining well from the mash tun, I spent a long time trying to stir the wort out of the mash, and scooping it out and pressing it through strainers. I think it was about an hour before I could get about 6G from the mash tun and began the boil. I boiled it for about 20 minutes before adding my bittering hops, then 15 minutes and added my immersion cooler, then another 15 minutes and then added my flavour hops before starting to cool the wort.
I only cooled the wort down to about 60 or 70C, at which point I put it back into the mash tun (with most of the grain removed), then I dumped in the baked grain to soak for 30 minutes to an hour before draining again (this time much easier since there was very little grain) into a bucket where I pitched my kveik and went to bed.
About 5 hours later I got up and saw that the kveik wasn't doing anything, so I pitched another pack of kveik I had and waited 4 more hours, before finally giving up and pitching a pack of dry US-05 which grew a krausen within minutes.
To be fair, the packs of kveik I had were pretty old. If this brew turns out even moderately well, I'll want to try it again with kveik.
After the gravity dropped by about 30 points (about 12 hours after I pitched the US-05, 21 hours total from transferring to the open bucket), I transferred to a glass carboy.
See the tilt graph here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wzd0I1CZFdyxrhJR-jzwBLvwTIT5-TX3BXMVCHyaGmI/edit#gid=189348009
Within about 16 more hours (37 hours total), it had gone from 1.073 to 1.016. It stayed at about 30C pretty much the entire time, which is well above US-05's temperature max recommended temp of 25. It's been about a week since I made this, and I'm planning to wait another week before bottling.
Note that about a week after brewing, it looked like it was stable at 1.015, but then I accidentally jostled the carboy a bit and the SG dropped to 1.011. My best guess is that the floating hydrometer was pressed up against the side of the carboy, so it wasn't giving a valid reading until I jostled it.
Another note: from watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4CdMlUpZUI I gather that it's pronounced KEPTEENEE. |
