Notes: I sourced a 60# pail from Olive Hill Company down in Fallbrook. James Frazer is the beekeeper. Contact him at 760-304-2061 or at olivehillcompany@yahoo.com. We found their booth at the Vista farmer's market.
Mashing Instructions:
Bring 2-1/2 gallons of Glendale's finest carbon-filtered tap water to a boil in a 5 gallon pot. Cut the flame. Add one WhirlFloc tablet, 1/2 tsp. of grape tannin and one vial of the Super Yeast food from John's shop. Stir in 18 lb of honey (that's 6 quarts). Stir well. Stir some more. Be careful. That's now nearly 4 gallons in a 5 gallon pot.
Extra Ingredients:
One three pound can of the red raspberry puree from John's shop.
Three 10 oz. packages of frozen mixed berries (strawberry, blueberry and blackberry) from Whole Foods.
Pour the raspberry puree and the now thawed mixed berries into the bottom of the cleaned and sanitized fermenter. Cover with 1 gallon of cold tap water. My primary fermenter for this batch is a 10 gal. white plastic food grade bucket with a lid. The lid doesn't have to fit tightly; it just has to keep insects and critters out while allowing CO2 to escape.
Yeast:
Two 5 gram packages of Red Star dried wine yeast, Cote des Blancs.
I prepared a yeast starter the day before and left 750 ml of starter solution going on my stir plate until ready to pitch on brew day.
Special Instructions / Notes:
Pour the honey/water mixture over the berries already in the fermenter. Top with enough cold tap water to reach 6 gallons. Because it was at 120F, I used an immersion chiller to get it down to about 80F. That's the limit with the temperature of the local tap water these days. Stir some more. Took a reading with my refractometer: 23.2 brix. Pitched the yeast slurry and oxygenated for 2 minutes. It was actively fermenting the next morning when I punched down the must cap and oxygenated for another minute. Fermentation is taking place in warm ambient temperature in my garage. I plan to leave it in primary for about two weeks and then rack out from under the must into a glass carboy to continue fermenting for as long as it takes, racking occasionally. Let's hope I can bring a sample to taste at next year's mead tasting event at the shop. |

Notes: I prefer working in percentages where possible—the grist for this recipe is 78% Pilsner malt, 20% flaked wheat, and 2% sugar. I’m a huge fan of low-oxygen brewing, reducing hot-side aeration where possible, and being gentle as possible throughout the brewing process. This produces the cleanest, brightest beer possible.
I start by de-oxygenating all my brewing liquor by boiling the entire amount first, then cooling it down to my mash strike temperature. I treat the entire brewing liquor with all minerals (mash and sparging water together) to a 1:2 ratio of sulfate to chloride after the de-oxygenating boil, but before cooling. Do not exceed 100 ppm chloride.
Acidify all of the brewing liquor using lactic acid to achieve a mash pH between 5.1 and 5.3. Mash for 45–60 minutes at 145–147°F (63–64°C). Mash pH should fall between 5.1 and 5.3, but add additional acid if the pH is above 5.3. Gently vorlauf for 20 to 25 minutes or until runoff is very clear. Sparge until the full volume is achieved in the kettle, stop sparging if gravity falls below 1.010, and top up the kettle with excess brewing liquor to achieve the full boil volume.
Boil for 90 minutes. At 60 minutes add the CO2 hop extract, targeting 30 IBUs. After the boil, cool the wort down to 170–160°F (77–71°C). Add the remaining hops, shooting for roughly 1 oz./gal. (7.5 g/L). Whirlpool the hops and let the hops and trub settle for 25–30 minutes. Cool the wort to 67°F (19°C) and rack into the fermenter.
Oxygenate the wort at 1.5 L/min for 1 to 2 minutes with pure O2. Pitch one pack of Rustic Imperial yeast or Wyeast 3726 Farmhouse Ale Yeast for 200 billion or 1.04M cells/mL/°P. Hold temperature at 67–70°F (19–21°C) for first 24 hours, then let the fermentation free-rise to 95–100°F (35–38°C). Hold that temperature until fermentation is complete. Near the tail end of the fermentation (around 1.010/2.6°P or so), attach a spunding valve. Crash cool and condition for 1 to 2 weeks at 32°F (0°C). Force carbonate to 2.7–3 vol. (5.4–6 g/L) of CO2. |

Notes: added columbus with 45 minutes to go but then there's another 15 minutes of utilisation so I think the IBU will be a touch lower than indicated
decided I wanted flavour and aroma with Coconut and Vanilla so put in 45 mls of coconut liquid extract and 4 vanilla pods whole at 94C
added Zythos at 81C so maybe a tiny bit of utilisation but would be hardly anything
Smelled absolutely fantastic in the boil with the coconut - it smelled like reef oil |

Notes: put 1.6kg of cherries into 700ml of brandy
pipped cherries and blitze and added with 500ml brandy to fermenter
put beer into secondary with cherry stuff
bottled pre and post cherry addition and will bottle the rest after a week or so
worries about how to calculate the ABV, do we just do another number and add that to the initial percentage. I think so! |
