Notes: I sourced a 60# pail from Olive Hill Company down in Fallbrook. James Frazer is the beekeeper. Contact him at 760-304-2061 or at olivehillcompany@yahoo.com. We found their booth at the Vista farmer's market.
Mashing Instructions:
Bring 2-1/2 gallons of Glendale's finest carbon-filtered tap water to a boil in a 5 gallon pot. Cut the flame. Add one WhirlFloc tablet, 1/2 tsp. of grape tannin and one vial of the Super Yeast food from John's shop. Stir in 18 lb of honey (that's 6 quarts). Stir well. Stir some more. Be careful. That's now nearly 4 gallons in a 5 gallon pot.
Extra Ingredients:
One three pound can of the red raspberry puree from John's shop.
Three 10 oz. packages of frozen mixed berries (strawberry, blueberry and blackberry) from Whole Foods.
Pour the raspberry puree and the now thawed mixed berries into the bottom of the cleaned and sanitized fermenter. Cover with 1 gallon of cold tap water. My primary fermenter for this batch is a 10 gal. white plastic food grade bucket with a lid. The lid doesn't have to fit tightly; it just has to keep insects and critters out while allowing CO2 to escape.
Yeast:
Two 5 gram packages of Red Star dried wine yeast, Cote des Blancs.
I prepared a yeast starter the day before and left 750 ml of starter solution going on my stir plate until ready to pitch on brew day.
Special Instructions / Notes:
Pour the honey/water mixture over the berries already in the fermenter. Top with enough cold tap water to reach 6 gallons. Because it was at 120F, I used an immersion chiller to get it down to about 80F. That's the limit with the temperature of the local tap water these days. Stir some more. Took a reading with my refractometer: 23.2 brix. Pitched the yeast slurry and oxygenated for 2 minutes. It was actively fermenting the next morning when I punched down the must cap and oxygenated for another minute. Fermentation is taking place in warm ambient temperature in my garage. I plan to leave it in primary for about two weeks and then rack out from under the must into a glass carboy to continue fermenting for as long as it takes, racking occasionally. Let's hope I can bring a sample to taste at next year's mead tasting event at the shop. |

Notes: After boil, and after cooling to approx 40 C, lower pH to approx 4.5 by adding lactic acid (I have 80%. I think 88% might be more common) I will add a tsp, measure pH, rince repeat until I have correct pH.
Do not oxygenate before adding lactic acid bacteria.
Add lactic acid bacteria, top off with some carbonated water. cover as best as possible. keep away from oxygen.
Keep at approx 40 ceclius.(should be done by 1-3 days)
Let LAB do it's work. Measure pH approx each 12 hours.
When correct pH is reached (approx 3.5 for me), add 10 gram nelson as lacto stop, and add a decanted 0.75 liter Brett starter(1 vial WLP654 brettanomyces claussenii grown for 7 days and settled for 3 days for flocculation, 10 days all in all)
Do NOT oxygenate wort when adding hops and Brett yeast. Oxygenating the wort at this time might increase the probability of wet horse blanket/leathery aromas. We want more fruit here, so no oxygenation.
When correct FG is reached(approx 14 days) add 90 gram nelson and let it stay for 4-5 days.
Bottle with 7g/l sugar.
Brett will do it's magic over time. So expect that this is a product that will change over at least 6 months time in bottle/keg. |

Notes: Pitch probiotic lacto culture for 24 hours at 38C, then chill to 65C and pitch 1L yeast starter.
Use Dry Belgian Ale/Amalgamation mixed culture grown out of CPB (homebrew) bottle.
5 gallons for me, split into a few different batches. Maybe boil 2 gallons with hops, salt and coriander and leave 3 gallons for the following:
Fresh Ontario peaches or apricots - 2 lb ripe fruit per gallon, chopped and frozen with pits removed, then thawed and thrown in the fermenter. Watch for secondary fermentation blow-off.
Dry-hop with 1 oz each Amarillo and Citra. |
