Notes:
Finish below 1.025 if you do not want it to be sweet. Ferment in the 60s for 4-5 days, and then let it go up into the 70s to finish. Pitch more yeast after 3 weeks if gravity is still high.
***Notes from my first brew of this recipe****
4 months in primary on yeast cake (no move to secondary, no problem)
FG was .014 - 85% attenuation from this strain (the first 21 days I let it get as warm as it wanted, at some points fermentation was so active the temp was over 84 degrees; spent the next 3 months in the mid-60's
Pitched dry bottling yeast and additional sugar to carb it, took about 3 weeks to finish
The aromas of this "young Quad" are very nice - plum, cherry and balanced yeast funkiness. It will only improve with age.
Updated tasting notes - home run for sure, the beer has rounded out with age and is delicious.
Tasting note at Nov '15 @ 16 months...beer has been cellaring around 60 and I just popped a bomber to take a taste. Needless to say I am happy with the product. Deep raisin and fig aroma with a chocolate maltiness and a strong alcohol bite.

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.

need to cut back on the dark malt as it dominates this beer. |

Notes: Based on a disappointing recent sample of Marble Ginger and a Twitter discussion with an ex-Marble brewer, I wanted to make something killer fiery so I doubled his recommended ginger additions.
Day 3 - Boil Honey with water and 5g dried ginger. Strained, cooled and add.
Day 5 - Rack to secondary, add fine sliced fresh ginger in bag, add some brandy to the dried ginger, stick it in a bag, add to secondary.
Priming sugar boiled with water and 5g dried ginger.

Notes: BREW 1
=======
Ferment: 2017-05-25
secondary: 2017-05-31
Yeast: Safale S04
Meshing went bad somehow, the OG became way too low, about 20 points. Could be the reason of new sparging where we pumped water (74 degrees into the wort and continuously tapped the wort out to the boil kettle.
Next time, do it different! That is let sparge water stay for a while and tap out to kettle like we have done before.
2017-05-31: Dryhopping in cornelistap under 1.0 bar pressure.
OG: 1.041
SG: 1.016 (dry hop, under pressure ~19 degrees)
FG: 1.016
BREW 2
=======
primär jäsning: 2017-08-01 (OG 1.050)
Sekundär: 2017-08-05 (SG 1.016)
Yeast: safale us-05
OG: 1.050
Flödeslakning under dryga timmen, cirka 1 liter på 2 minuter. 30 liter totalt efter lakning,
Lactal, användes vid mäskning, drygt en kork för att få ner PH från 5.8 till ca: 5.3
Kokade ner ca 6 liter (från 30 till 24), något för lite för vårat recept vilket resulterade i ett lägre OG (skulle ha landat på 1.068). Kunde ha kokat ner mer men svårt att läsa av våran kittel hur många liter som finns i den..
Hopstand efter kok till mindre kittel och lät ligga i 30 minuter och efter det pump till kylning.
Landade på 24 liter i den nya koniska jäskärlet av plast. Tryckte in den i kylen med 17 grader som börvärde. Använde Safale S-05, Amerikansk ale istället för English.
2017-08-05: tappade om till betterbottle. Koniskt jäskärl ganska onödig att ha i kylen då den behöver vara monterad. SG på 1.016 redan efter 4 dagar. Fortsatt jäsning i 17 grader. |
