recipe: Snark Lord kit from Great Fermentations. This version is a modification of the GF kit based on my side by side comparison of 8 month keg aged GF kit and Dark Lord 2017
----------------------
Starter
WLP001 and WLP002: separate 1.5L starters 30 hrs before anticipated yeast pitch

Water chemistry / mash notes:
1/2 total minerals added to each strike. 2.5 mL LA into strike water mash #1 and ??2.0 mL??? LA for mash #2.
Acidify each 1.5 gal sparge with 0.1 mL lactic acid 88%.
Reiterated mash with split pale malts at 157F (pale, munich, flaked oats, flaked barley). Mash cap with 1/2 dark/roast malts after each mash.
Pale/flaked = 24.0 lbs
Roast/dark = 5.5 lbs
Sugars = 2.0 jaggery
Total = 31.5 lbs
Mash #1 = 2.5 mL of LA. 12.0 lbs pale/flaked into 5.9 gallons x 60-90 min. Mash cap with 2.5 lbs dark/roast malts x 20-30 min. After mash, sparge with ~1.5 gal to achieve a volume of 6.0 gal for 2nd mash.
Mash #2 = Measure pH! Adjust with LA or baking soda to pH of 5.4. 12.0 lbs pale/flaked into 6.0 gallons. Mash for 60-90 min or until SG stabilizes. Mash cap with remaining 3.0 lbs dark/roast/crystal malts for 20-30 min. Sparge with ~1.8 gal to hit 6.5 gal pre-boil volume

Boil notes:
Jaggery at 20 minutes left in boil
Add 1 oz coarsely ground coffee beans, cocao nibs, and 2 cut/scraped vanilla beans in bag at 5 min from end of boil, steep for 5 minutes after flame out, then remove.

Fermentation:
Make 1.5 L starters for each yeast 30 hrs in advance.
Brew day morning - chill in fridge, decant wort to 500 mL each
Chill to 65F, pitch yeast slurry x 2
Ferment at 66F x 7-10 days (favors WLP002) then raise to 70F over 3 days (favors WLP001), complete fermentation an additional 5-7 days at 70F (favors WLP001 for attenuation).

Once at FG, cold crash x 24 hours.

Dry beaning:
After fermentation complete and yeast crashed, add 2 oz Sumatra whole beans beans (in bag) to primary for 12-48 hours (taste every 12 hrs). Remove coffee and cold crash x 48 hrs.

Clarification:
After coffee removed from primary and cold crashed x 48 hours, add gelatin followed by additional 48 hrs chilling.

Packaging/clarification part 2:
Make tincture of 1 vanilla bean 5-7 days in advance
Once kegged, add 5 mL Biofine clear through gas port and vanilla bean tincture through lid opening. Quickly seal and CO2 purge headspace.
Seal and keg condition x 6 months before sampling

Notes: 1st attempt at a brown ale using harvested chestnuts - make sure it's the spiky ones! Horse chestnuts aren't meant to be eaten

Gonna cut an X on the chestnuts and then roast on some BBQ coals. Crush and separate into shells and inner nut . Put the flesh into a processor and blitz
Add the nut shell in a hop bag during mash and add the blitzed flesh along with the malts
This is an experiment I don't know how much. if any fermentable sugar will be released by the chestnuts - My SG should show that
From reading it's worth adding the shells to get some more smokey notes

Also adding in some roasted Cacao nibs 1/2 lightly roasted, 1/2 darker roasted - should help balance the sweet chestnut
125g - 20 mins at 127 C
125g - 20 mins at 157 C

The malt extract is just to bump up the abv a little as it's going to be a Christmas beer. Northdown hops for the dry hop stage came from helping with our local breweries harvest, adding in just because!

Notes: Hoping for a simple, yet tasty session type porter.
Figuring the wheat will add to the body.
Since the wheat extract is actually 60% wheat malt, this means this recipe is very close to 50% wheat malt and 50% pale malt.
This is my first time using the Midnight Wheat so I'm using it as my lead dark grain to see how I like it.
Made this on 2/18/16. Was about 10% short on the wheat extract so I made it up with light LME.
April 2016: One of my best porter/stouts yet!

Notes:
Pitche på 12 grader. Karet må ut i kjøleskap før pitching.

Gjæres litt høyere (19-20) for mer banansmak?
- Neppe, tipper 17-18-19 er OK.

Meskes litt høyere (66) for mer kropp?
- Kanskje

Karbonere med 10 gram sukker pr. liter. Det gir 3.5 CO2 ved 16 grader. Øker ABV med 0,875%.

Notes: This one is kind of light, in the style of most popular American beers. It's not my personal favourite, but good. Every one that are Bud fans realy like it.I think the honey and maple offsets the "cider" taste you usually get from using corn sugar.
