Notes: Chop raisins and heat to 162 degrees for 30 seconds. Put in grain sock and add to mash with 20 minutes left.
Ferment for 7 days, transfer to secondary until fermentation stops. Add Gelatin (optional) and cold crash for 3 days prior to bottling.
Bottle and condition at room temp for 21 days. Chill 3 days...enjoy.
This is a complex beer full of hop nose, raisin and molasses notes on the nose and palate. Great fall beer with Irish Stew...

First time with the Cream Ale Yeast. It's very nice.
One of the better beers that I have made. |

Notes: Attempt to get a strong banana flavour to the beer, using a classic approach. The 30C and 40C rests are to induce maltase activity; the very high water:grain ratio helps with this, as maltase is more active in higher pH. The 64C rest for 30% of the mash serves to create a large pool of maltose for conversion in the 40C rest to glucose (by maltose); this ensures a high glucose to maltose ratio to increase production of isoamyl acetate during fermentation. Skipping the beta amylase sacc rest by bringing the whole mash to 72C (where alpha amylase is at work) will hopefully prevent too much additional maltose formation, though the beer may have a lot of body, as it is a high mash temperature.

Notes: 1 gallon of organic apple juice, and 2 cans of organic apple juice concentrate. 5 large oranges (Japaneese Mandarins in this batch) but I didn't get a weight. The oranges were sliced into 1/8ths rind and all and shoved in the carboy. |

Notes: pull one decoction, boil for 15 min.
correct pH,
add orange peel
increasing the ratio of glucose to maltose in the wort increases the production of isoamyl acetate (banana flavor), but so does adjusting the pitching rate or other factors that affect growth.
no husk at all. see how it goes.
I added 18g of s. promise for 40 min. d = 1.044. boiled for 40min before addition of hops. pH 5.9, 3 ml of LA added. sparging 120 min, no stuck sparge. |

Notes: Mix all hops together, and hop continuously for 90min** (see note below)
Mash at 149-150*
Ferment with WLP007 at 64*. Use a pitch rate calculator for your starter, you want around 300 billion cells.
Dry hop:
2oz Amarillo
2oz Simcoe
I like to split the additions in half over the 2 weeks
*Amber malt: Use Thomas Fawcett Amber Malt, don't just use any old amber malt. If you can't find Thomas Fawcett Amber, look harder. This is the exact malt DFH uses, and it's a distinctive flavor. It's available at quite a few online retailers if your LHBS doesn't carry it.
**Hopping: Mix all 5oz of hops together, how often you add them is up to you. Some people add a couple pellets every minute, others fill up 30 dixie cups, and add one cup per 3 minutes. Personally I do 10 additions, 0.5oz every 10 minutes, and it turns out excellent.
That's about it, it's actually a fairly easy beer to brew other than the continuous hoping. If you can't find WLP007, use WYeast 1098 - Dry Whitbread, or Safale S04. Definitely use WLP007 if it's available, the yeast character is dead on.
