Notes: This Milkshake IPA is loaded with flavor! LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-g5BIxlMHE

The Tangerine Cream Dream offers creamy texture supplied by wheat extract, oat flour, and lactose. The lactose also adds sweet, sweet sugar that is mostly un-fermented by the yeast yielding that sweetness into the final product. The Hornindal Kveik yeast strain in this beer produces an intense tropical flavor and aroma with notes of fresh pineapple, mango, and tangerine. It complements the fruit-forward Comet hops added late in the boil and into the whirlpool for a heavy aroma boost. The big and brilliant tangerine aroma is the star of these Comet hops, grown in Central Minnesota The skin and juice of 2 tangarines add an additional citrus boost. The head on this beer is HUUUUGE (insert Donald Trum meme here). Overall this beer is a big bold statement... also like Donald's skin. LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING!

Extract brewing can be simple and rewarding! Note that while the equipment costs far less than the equivalent all-grain systems, the cost to let someone else create your extract over extracting the sugars from grains yourself is more expensive by about 20-50%. The cost per 20oz (one bottle) of beer for this Milkshake IPA is $2.42.

You may use tap water and/or modify the water profile.

The 2 tangerines or mandarin should be juiced and the leftover pulp/seeds should be removed from the rind. The juice and the rinds are added into the last ten minutes of the boil.

It is highly recommended that a blow-off tube is used instead of an airlock for this extremely active fermentation.

Higher fermenting temperatures benefit this beer as the yeast will produce more characteristic flavors. It is advised to ferment between 85-90f. To achieve a warmer fermentation, use a brew belt, heat mat, or similar equipment in conjunction with a temperature controller.

For a fermentation blow-off tube, run a section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose from the grommet on the lid to the bottom of one of the gallon jugs filled with sanitizer solution in tap water, and place the gallon jug and the fermentation bucket at the same height. It is best to elevate the beer at the beginning of the fermentation cycle with the spigot facing the area where you will be bottling so that the trub is not disturbed during the bottling process. In other words, try not to move the bucket just before bottling.

To bottle your beer, precondition each sanitized bottle with 2 Northern Brewer Fizz Drops. Attach a 5-8 foot section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose to the Fermenter's Favorites Bottling Spigot and the other end of the hose to the Fermenter's Favorites® Spring Tip Bottle Filler. Slowly open the spigot until it is fully open. Place the spring tip filler into the bottle and press the tip in on the bottom of the bottle. Fill the bottle until the liquid reaches the top. Remove the filler and the bottle will be filled to the optimal height.

Secondary fermentation in bottles takes between 9 and 13 days. 11 days is usually a safe amount of time to allow carbonation to build with the Kviek yeast used in this recipe.

Let the beer age for just about a week if kegged. It may very well be overly bitter and not well balanced the first day in the keg. If bottled, the beer should be ready after the 9+ days of secondary fermentation.

Don't forget to sanitize everything including the outside rims of the brew equipment and even the outside of the yeast packet.

Notes: I wanted to make a honey beer where you could actually taste the honey. Usually it's covered up with malt, hops, or other ingredients. This is just pilsner malt, 20% honey, a bit of hops, and lager yeast.

Expecting to age this a couple of months.

Although I put it in the BGS category, it is not that at all; I just wanted a framework. This would go under experimental (34C) or alternative sugar (31B).

Notes: - Brewed on 22 June 18
- Scraped wild yeast from 2 x petri dishes (very funky!) that had been sitting for approx. 2 months undisturbed...no idea on weight/volume of yeast...rehydrated in about 1/4 cup of sterilized water. House is kept at 71 degrees but the experiment is being kept in the pantry which gets a little warmer due to outside wall...probably 75 degrees avg.
- Once pitched, no activity for 24 hours, then vigorous fermentation for about 12 hours, then no visible fermentation for 24 hours (may have been a loose seal), then fermentation restarted and has been going slowly since (today is 4 July). Hints of banana with a little funk...not unpleasant.
- Once fermentation appears to cease I will take a gravity reading, wait 3 days and measure again. If no change, and calculates to at least 5% ABV I will bottle, charge, and wait 2 weeks before tasting. If below 5% I will add a 1/4 teaspoon of Safale US-05 to see if fermentation restarts.
- Took a gravity reading 7 Jul 18...1.022 (4.59%). Got a better whiff...quite a pleasant smell.
- Took a gravity reading 15 Jul 18...1.022 (4.59%). The appears yeast is settling out because the beer is now very clear. I added a very small amount of Safale US-05 to see if it would finish up any residual sugars. I took a chance and put 4-5 drops on my tongue...great flavor...hints of pepper. Reminds me of a saison. If there are any residual sugars I expect the added yeast to begin work within 24 hours. I will take a final gravity reading and bottle next week.
- Took a gravity reading 18 Jul 18...1.022 (4.59%). The addition of the Safale US-05 did not appear to spark any additional fermentation. So I added 2 oz of honey directly to the beer...not sure how smart this is, but I swished it around to dissolve the honey. This time, once fermentation stops I will take a gravity reading and bottle immediately. Still smells great.
- 19 Jul 18: 24 hours and no indication of activity. There may not be enough oxygen for the yeast so I'm going to do something else I'm not sure is such a good idea...I'm going to oxygenate the beer for about 5 secs to see if that gets anything going.

Notes: Grain Bill Pale Malt - 58% Light Crystal (15°L) - 13.5% Medium Crystal (60°L) - 11.5% Vienna Malt - 9.5% Midnight Wheat Malt - 7.5% Dark Candi Sugar - 3.5% of total grain weight NOTE: As always, I am only providing the all grain version of the recipe, and just percentages so that you can figure out the weights based on the size of your brewing system and your normal efficiencies. Spices added to mash: Cinnamon Stick, broken/ground - 0.025 oz per gallon (0.71 grams/gallon) Ground Allspice - 0.025 oz per gallon (0.71 grams/gallon) Ground Cloves - 0.0125 oz per gallon (0.36 grams/gallon) Sweet Orange Peel - 0.025 oz per gallon (0.71 grams/gallon) Rosehips - 0.025 oz per gallon (0.71 grams/gallon) Make the spice additions on the basis of brew length (gallons wort recovered). Note that the orange peel is sweet orange peel, not Curacao or bitter orange peel. Rosehips should be purchased ground, not whole, as whole rosehips are very difficult to crush (we had to use a fork-truck to do it)! Target OG: 22°P (1.088 SG).

Mashing Use a 60-minute conversion rest at 154°F. This is a fairly high conversion rest temperature that should provide enough body to balance the spices, hops and roasted malt characters in the finished beer. If you can, raise your mash temperature up to 165°F after conversion rest to stop the enzymatic conversion of starches to sugars before lautering. If you cannot raise the temperature in your mash, reduce the conversion rest from 60 to 30-45 minutes. Lautering Recirculate your wort gently from the bottom over the top of the mash to deposit the fine particles of malt on the top of the grain and to “set” your bed. Avoid splashing the wort. Recirculate for 5-15 minutes, depending on your system, before diverting wort flow to your kettle/boiling vessel. You should remove almost all the malt particles from the wort flow, but some haze is OK. Start sparging in the lauter when the wort level is about a ½-inch above the grain bed. Starting earlier will decrease your efficiency because the water will dilute your first wort. Sparge water should be between 165°F and 170°F to maximize extraction, but avoid going over 170°F or you’ll extract harsh compounds from the malt husks. Sparge until you hit your target boil volume or until the wort gravity being drawn off reaches 3°P (1.012 SG), whichever comes first. Don’t lauter past 3°P, because when the sparged wort coming off the lauter is that low in sugar content, you risk extracting tannins and other harsh character from the malt husks. Be careful not to rush the mashing and lautering step or your brewing efficiency will go down. These steps should be done with care. A good music selection will assist in keeping things relaxed and gentle during lautering.

Boil Hop Bill: 0.15 oz per gallon (4.2 grams/gallon) Simcoe Hop Pellets (13% alpha) at the start of the boil. 0.20 oz per gallon (5.6 grams/gallon) EACH Tettnang (4.5% Alpha acid) and Willamette (5.5% alpha acid). Added 30 minutes prior to end of boil. Spice additions (hung in a weighted down mesh bag): Cinnamon - 0.009 oz per gallon (0.24 grams/gallon) Nutmeg - 0.009 oz per gallon (0.24 grams/gallon) Clove - 0.0045 oz per gallon (0/12 grams/gallon) Boil for 90 minutes.

Whirlpool Spice additions-add at the start of the whirlpool process: Cinnamon - 0.22 oz per gallon (0.6 grams/gallon) Clove - 0.22 oz per gallon (0.6 grams/gallon) Sweet Orange Peel - 0.22 oz per gallon (0.6 grams/gallon) Allspice - 0.22 oz per gallon (0.6 grams/gallon) Admittedly somewhat unusual for Stone, we did not hop this brew in the whirlpool. With the influence of the spices, we wanted to keep the hop presence well blended. Massive flavor hopping in the whirlpool may have clashed with the aromatic spice flavors. The whirlpool step is where you separate out your proteinaceous trub. It’s going to be a large trub pile with all these spices, though the lack of hops should help enhance your wort recovery.

Fermentation Yeast Addition Pitch a Belgian yeast strain, enough to get 20-25 million cells per milliliter (requires a starter). We used the Wyeast High Gravity Trappist yeast for this brew, the first time we’ve ever used this yeast. This yeast produced a lot of banana character, especially at a 68°F fermentation temperature. The banana esters combined well with the dark malt and dark candy sugar flavors, giving the beer a bit of a chocolate-banana dessert flavor. After the trub has been separated from the wort, chill the wort using an immersion chiller or a heat exchanger to about 65 °F. Add enough yeast to get a cell count of about 20-25 million cells per milliliter. We like to use a higher pitching rate (yeast addition rate) here, because we wanted to ferment at a lower temperature but still ensure the beer ferments out completely. This means that you will most likely have to build up your yeast culture at home using a starter.
