Notes: Mill the grains and mash at 150°F (66°C) for 30 minutes or as long as it takes to pass the iodine test.
Sparge the grains with 168°F (76°C) water, topping up as necessary to get about 7 gallons (26.5 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate.
Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule.
After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate to create a vortex, cooling the wort (if possible) to 180°F-190°F (82°C-88°C); add whirlpool hops and allow 10 minutes to steep and settle.
Chill to 60°F (16°C), aerate the wort, pitch yeast, and add nutrient (preferably including zinc). Also add first dry hops (see Brewer’s Note below).
Ferment at 62°F (17°C) for the first three days, then raise to 68°F (20°C).
Once primary fermentation is complete, wait an extra day, then dump/remove hops (or rack to secondary), and add second dry hops. After 2 more days, dump/remove hops.
Once the gravity has stabilized after any hop creep and the beer has passed VDK (see below), crash, package, and carbonate to about 2.7 volumes of CO2.
BREWER’S NOTES
Hop products: I used only flowable advanced hop products for the first dry hop—specifically, YCH Simcoe DynaBoost and YCH 803 Simcoe (an essential oil), in addition to the Abstrax Quantum. DynaBoost and 803 generally aren’t available to homebrewers, so I included the T-90 pellet equivalents in the recipe. YCH’s recommended conversion rate is 1:10, so at this scale you’d want about 0.5 oz (14 g) of DynaBoost. The Abstrax Quantum is available in 5 ml quantities.
Dip hop: With the DynaBoost, I use a version of Kelsey McNair’s method at North Park in San Diego. I take a small amount of hot wort from the whirlpool (for example, with a pitcher), mix in the DynaBoost with a handheld blender, then add the mix directly to the fermentor. I also add other hop products to the tank at this time, but not in the hot-wort solution.
Dumping hops: If you’re using a conical, you can continue to dump the hop/yeast trub from the cone. If you can’t dump the cone, relax, don’t worry, and have a homebrew.
pH: The dry hop load on this beer is very high, and that means the pH will rise significantly. If you can, before dry hopping, add phosphoric acid to adjust the pH to 4.3—that will help beer clear the hop creep–driven diacetyl more quickly. (I also recommend adding ALDC enzyme.)
Hop creep: On the day of the second dry hop (this is post-fermentation), take a gravity reading of the beer and note it in your brew log. Three days later, take another gravity reading and note it, and continue to do this each day—it will drop some due to the secondary fermentation driven by hop creep. Once you go two days in a row where your gravity hasn’t dropped, and the beer has passed VDK (see “Hunting for Diacetyl,” beerandbrewing.com), you can begin to crash the beer. |

ok the brew came out bad. under attenuated. 1.040. i let it go 4 1/2 days before cold crashing. not sure what happened. here are some factors that could be fixed :
* possible underpitch - used a jar of hornindal that was made from a big starter and split 3 ways. next time maybe add whole pouch?
* possible yeast strain stubbornness - i think chad ritter said hornindal is a pain in the ass. next time switch back to hothead or try another strain
* possible lack of nutrients - ive heard some kviek need nutrients to do the job, but that wasnt the case with hothead
* possibly need to feed in the fermentables. added sugar andhoney to the boil - maybe next time add them a day or two later, possibly with some DME
* possible efficiency and mash problem - low pH readings but need to fix meter. low efficiency for sure. need to boil longer. maybe mash longer. maybe not getting full conversion andor proper formation of short/long chains
* possible grain crush issue
* possible water chemistry issue - need to re-evaluate
I'm also reading now that hornindal can under attenuate if you dont under pitch. use 1 tsp per 5 gallons. and need to use yeast nutrient.

having some kind of serious mash problem. only 50 some % efficient. pH coming out way low - read under 4.6 yesterday. not sure if pH meter needs recalibration or broken but its measuring 7.5 - 6.75 on RO water.
also there is something kind of strange about the water calculator. its possible it had me entering the salts for the full volume of water and not just the mash, thereby going too acidic. next time consider just treating all 10 gallons of water, not just the 8 that fit in the HLT.
===============================
7/14/2021
brew day.
fine tuning the water. since we need almost 10 gallons water, i am changing the calculator to treat 8 gallons water (all that will fit in my digiboil), we will use 6.7 gallons for the mash as instructed. There will be 1.3 of gallons of treated water remaining, will then top that up with about 1.7 gallons of straight up RO water and use that 3 total gallons for sparge water.
===============================
6/28/2021
making more adjustments... thinking 9% better than 10. reducing vienna.
altering hop schedule for simplicity. really changed it a lot actually.
adding water profile.
==================================================
half ass constructed from here :
http://secretlevelbrewing.com/bells-hopslam-clone.html
which itself is a customized version of the real clone posted on bells website, mine is customized further for simplicity in hop schedule. grain bill adjusted as well. not sure what pale ale malt is so im using vienna. |
