Notes: The source for the grain and hop bill comes from Dan's Belgian Quad as noted above. However, there are several deviations both from the standard Belgian styles and the baseline recipe, including the use of cane sugar over dextrose and darker candi sugar as adjuncts. The biggest modifications, however, come from the use of Lutra yeast and the warming spices. Lutra was used for rapid take-off to reduce infection risk from primary spices.

Grains were mashed at 150 for 2.25 hours, dropping to 142 over that period by cold water additions and removal of mash tun lids.

Adjuncts (brown sugar, cane sugar, candi syrup) were added at the start of boil after protein break. Hop additions are noted in recipe, immersion chiller added at 15 minutes, boil spice additions added at 5 minutes. Immersion chilled to just under 100 degrees.

Yeast was pitched at 96 degrees F and fermented in a controlled temperature room at 85 degrees for six days, then reduced to 72 degrees F for 2 days. Actual OG was 1.094, and actual FG was 1.008. 11.3%ABV.

The beer was fermented in two separate 8 gallon Anvil stainless steel fermenters, each receiving one packet of Lutra pitched dry. A cheesecloth sachet was fashioned to contain half each of the primary spices noted in the recipe. Total time in primary was 8 days, FG holding firm at 1.008 for two days prior to packaging.

5 gallons were kegged (2x2.5 gallons) and force carbonated, 5 gallons are barrel-aging in a medium toast/medium char American white oak Bad Motivator whiskey barrel. After a few weeks, the barrel-aged beer will be bottle conditioned with Lallemand CBC-1.

The kegged beer is absolutely incredible. Wildly complex and the flavors evolve over the course of several sips. Excited to try the barrel-aged in a month or two.

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.

===============================

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.

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

Notes: AHA's Big Brew Day 2020 Recipe:

This year’s Big Brew recipe comes from Jackalope Brewing Co, which will brew Pangaea Proxima Polar IPA as the official commemorative beer for Homebrew Con, to be held June 18–20, 2020, in Nashville, Tenn. Given that homebrewers from all over the globe will be brewing a version of this beer on May 2, the recipe features ingredients that truly fit the theme of Big Brew.

“We want to use ingredients from all over the world to brew this beer. We decided to use the kveik yeast because what a dream that is for a homebrewer,” said Bailey Spaulding, who is a cofounder of Jackalope and will deliver the Keynote Address at Homebrew Con. “Then we landed on using New Zealand hops for the beer,” she continued, “so the yeast is from an area of the world near the North Pole, and the hops are from an area near the South Pole.”

The beer is named after Pangaea Proxima, which is a theorized future supercontinent that would form 300 million years in the future. “We thought it fit the idea well. Also, we really like the idea of bringing people from around the world together in a time when we are all so separate.”

Notes: Ferment for 7 days, then ramp up temp a degree every 6-8 hours to 71 for diacytyl rest, leave for a day or two, then drop temp to 60 for 24 hours. Add cocoa, ancho chilies and vanilla beans and age for 5-7 days. Crash beer to 35 for 48 hours. Carbonate to 2.25 volumes.

Go with cheap Vanilla beans since flavor nuances will be lost in this beer.

Prep vanilla and chilies by slicing lengthwise to increase surface area and impact on flavor. Consider making a vodka tincture with the chilies, vanilla and cocoa nibs.
