Yeast Starter = three steps to yield 451 billion cells (starting with 42 billion cells based on age of package)
Step 1 = 0.7 L, Step 2 = 1.0 L, Step 3 = 1.5 L
Ingredients:
Weyerman floor malted Pilsner malt
Starter:
- Use a two step starter (start a week before brew day) -- target ~ 416 billion cells
- Step 1: ~ 1 liter
- Step 2: Decant, then ~ 1.6 liters
- Decant before pitching
Mash:
- pH target is 5.3 at room temp (or 5.05 at mash temp)
- pH Adjustment Notes
- To derease pH by 0.1, add 0.8 ml of 88% lactic acid
- To increase pH by 0.1, add 0.5 grams of pickling lime
Boil Timer Settings:
nE=4, AD=10, T1=90, T2=20, T3=15, T4=5
Fermentation:
- Chill wort to 50 degrees
- Oxygenate (lots of oxygen -- at least 90 seconds)
- Ferment at 52 degrees until 50% attenuation (based on fast ferment FG) is reached (4-7 days)
- Remove temperature probe from thermowell and attach to small volume of liquid (to measure ambient air temp)
- Disconnect plug from cooling side of temperature controller
- Slowly raise air temp from 52 degrees to 67 degrees over 36 hours (5 degrees per 12 hours). See STC-1000+ settings below.
- Keep air temp at 68 degrees until fermentation is complete and the yeast clean up after themselves ( 4-10 days)
- Test for Diacetyl and acetaldehyde -- see https://www.winning-homebrew.com/diacetyl-test.html
- When FG is stable and no diacetyl or acetaldehyde is detected,
- Reattach temperature probe from controller into thermowell
- Attach CO2 tank and add 1-2 pounds of pressure
- Set up a separate thermometer to monitor temperature of the beer
- Slowly decrease temperature from 68 degrees to 32 degrees over 72 hours (0.5 degrees per hour), then see next step. See STC-1000+ settings below.
- When beer temp is below 50 degrees, add prepared gelatin fining
- 1 tsp gelatin in 1/2 cup water,
- Microwave it in short (7 second) bursts until it reached 145-150°F, stirring with the end of a thermometer between each burst.
- Let beer clarify for a few days, then package
STC-1000+ Settings for Fermentation Ramp Up:
SP0: 52°
dh0: 36 (36 hour free-rise/ramp-up)
SP1: 68°
dh1: 0
STC-1000+ Settings for Fermentation Ramp Down:
SP0: 68°
dh0: 72 (3 day ramp-down)
SP1: 32°
dh1: 0
Packaging:
Keg:
- Transfer beer to keg
- Attach CO2 and set to PSI needed to carbonate to 2.5 volumes of CO2 @ 32 degrees
- Let beer condition at 32 degrees for a couple weeks
- Tap the keg
Bottles:
- Sanitize bottles
- Add a coopers carb drop to each bottle
- Add beer and cap each bottle
- Put bottles in area of stable ambient temperature of around 70 degrees for a couple weeks (to carbonate the beer)
- Let beer condition at refrigerator temps (32-36 degrees) for another 1-2 weeks
15 min mash pH = 5.15
added 0.4g pickling lime
10 min mash pH = 5.28
after mach, iodine test = negative

| Notes: After 2 or 3 months of conditioning it has a decent carbonation level, front end sweetness is gone and has a nutty taste with decent body. Definitely not a red ale, came out dark brown but nice I would make this again as a brown ale, maybe try and improve head retention and increase carbonation slightly |
