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: Mash in at a strike temperature of 130 °F (54 °C). Rest for 30 minutes then raise the mash to conversion temperature at 154 °F (68 °C). Hold for one hour and sparge at 172 °F (78 °C).
Collect wort until the specific gravity falls below 1.008 or pH exceeds 5.8. Add water so you have a little over 6 gallons (23 L) (I want 7 gallons) of wort before the boil.
Boil the wort for two hours, adding hops at 120, 60 and 30 minutes remaining in the boil. After the boil, cool the wort with a wort chiller and aerate well.
Pitch the yeast at 65 °F (18 °C), but drop the temperature over the course of one week to 55 °F (13 °C). Hold at 55 °F (13 °C) until fermentation is complete — about two weeks. Rack and lager at 35 °F (1.6 °C). Lager for a minimum of one month, preferably longer.
This is version 2.0, I increased German Pilsner to 8.25 from 7.5m lbs Munich to 4.4 from 4.0 and Smoke to 1.5 from 1 and increase 60 minute hops to .50 from .25, looking to get more beer into fermentation increased OG from 1.066 to 1.073 |

Notes: Buckwheat honey is a placeholder for bocheted wildflower honey.
Process Planning Notes:
During last ~20 min of mash, start the bochet in the boil kettle; if the mash goes a little long, that's fine. Rehydrate the bochet directly with first runnings when it's reached the correct color. Reserve 1 gal of first runnings, and reduce down to syrup separately from main boil, adding back into the boil kettle once sufficiently reduced.

Notes: 100% accident. This was supposed to be a batch of my zombie SMaSH, but it went wrong. left the boil on too long, forgot to change the efficiency estimate so wildly overshot the malt, thought i overwatered the mash (but ended up getting higher than usual efficiency)...all of which led to a sort of imperial pale ale, which is not a thing. when everything goes wrong, it can only be named 'zombie bite'.
racked to secondary @ target grav of 1018 - dry hopping with .5 oz citra and letting clarify for a week before bottling. |
