Notes: # The Haka
Brew club challenge was to make a beer using 100g of Rakau and no other hop apart from first addition bittering hop. No other restrictions on malt bill or style. As Rakau are New Zealand hops, I chose to do a Black IPA in reference to the New Zealand rugby team which are known as the all blacks. They have a famous pre-match tribal dance known as the Haka (Ka Mate Haka) and hence the name of the beer.
##Malt
The mash was started with Golden Promise and flaked barley for one hour. Other dark grains added at end of mash: chocolate wheat, roasted rye and de-husked roasted barley. All of these dark malts are known less harsh than standard dark malts. The rye should add a little spiciness to the beer. I wanted it to be as dark as possible while still allowing the hops to be the main event to terms of taste.
##Hops
Magnum was used to bitter. I wanted it to be bitter as it's an IPA but not to be too assertive. 40g Rakau were added at whirlpool while 60g were added as dry hop.
##Yeast
Fermented with US05 for a dry crisp finish at 22C under 10psi with fewer esters. As this was a 6.5% beer more than one pack was required (I only had one pack), I did 24h 1L starter. Fermented at 22C as I didn't have much time left after receiving the hops!

Notes: Simple plan for simple stuff:

- Pitch one packet of S-04 into 4 gal of Kirkland brand apple juice @~59f. Keep temperature stable.
- Just after lag phase has ended, mix 1.5-2g Fermaid O into some apple juice, and add with enough juice to top up to 4.7 gal total. This should be on the lower end of the nutrient schedule, hopefully just enough to ward off diacetyl and sulphur.
- Wait until >50% attenuated, and start ramping the temperature a couple of degrees a day to ~68.
- With a couple of points left to go until FG, ~1.007ish, add the dry hops.
- Let dry hop for 4-7 days, cold crashing at FG.
- Rack to serving keg after 24-48 hours at cold crash temperatures.
- Let condition in the fridge, hopefully drink young.

------------------------------------------------------

10/16/20:

Racked after cold crash w/ 7 days hop contact (5 @ 67f, 2 during cold crash) to serving keg. Next time I'll use a hop bag rather than letting them float freely - even after the cold crash there was enough in suspension to clog the floating dip tube, so I had to open everything up and siphon-pump transfer. Not ideal, hopefully oxidization doesn't become a problem.

Manual hydrometer readings verified that this ended up right around 1.002, and a taste of the pre-carb sample was pretty good. There's no detectable sulfur taste, no other significant fermentation off flavors, and mild apple flavor (about as much as is reasonable considering I'm not back-sweetening), though the hops are a little grassy and dank.

Next time I'll probably switch up the hops to something fruity and tropical, and limit the contact time a little more (maybe 3 days at room temp before cold crashing?)

Plan is to burst carb @30psi for ~24 hours, then turn it down to ~12psi and shamelessly drink under-carbed cider till it's ready.

------------------------------------------------------

10/20/20:

After a little more thought I turned the pressure down to 14psi rather than 12, to give it a little more mouthfeel from increased carbonation and help the hop aromatics. It's been a few days since then, and the general consensus is that this turned out really well!

In line with my initial impressions, there aren't any fermentation off flavors I can pick out, but, with carbonation, the S-04 has left pleasant but subtle notes I'd normally associate with ale. The finished cider is crystal clear, very dry without being astringent or harsh, and has a crisp, tart, finish. Apple notes are distinguishable on the finish, but meld with the hop flavors well enough you have to pay attention. While the hop flavors started out worryingly grassy and dank, that quickly faded into the sort of smooth herbal spice I'd expect from Tettnanger and Willamette.

It's really a shame I didn't brew this at the start of summer, rather than at the start of fall, but that can be fixed next year!

Notes: This beer is my recipe for american lager that even my dad will drink. Feel free to omit the aroma hops and only use bittering hops. That would probably be more accurate to the style. I just cant help myself when it comes to aroma hops. It's called Lipton Lager because Lipton is the BMC of tea and I call my home brewery The Teahouse Brewery. Label coming soon.

Notes: Brew 8 gallons of Abbey style Dark Strong/Dubbel, sour 5 gal and ferment 3 gal in small carboy. Use Belgian Ardennes from golden strong.
- Use dregs from sours
- oud bruin for a more malt foreward beer
- LACTOBACILLUS BUCHNERI - also used for sour browns, moderate acidity
- mash in around 153, allow to drop a bit as wort is recycled with pump. Add some hot water if it starts to get low

after drinking the Ursula angel of odd I think I want to make sure I mash at or above 152 to provide some body so it isn't so thin after the souring takes place. Keep good amount of munich in recipe to give body.
- After tasting the golden strong (4wks) - 150-152 is a good mash temp
- Too much body will not be desirable.
- about 7.5% would be good

Pitch in dregs of ursula the odd and rodenbach. should probably get something from crooked stave to get a reliable brett source. Other bacteria unknown.

One pitfall to watch for is the level of dissolved CO2 in the beer at bottling. After a long period of time in secondary, particularly when oak is involved because it provides nucleation sites, the beer can be completely flat. Normal priming sugar calculations assume a certain amount of residual carbonation based on the temperature of the beer, without this carbonation the beer will seem flat even after the yeast consume all the priming sugar. To remedy this you can give the beer a small feeding (2-3 oz) with table/corn sugar a week or so before bottling or additional priming sugar at bottling.

Yep, I tried it with decent results. Just let the cubes soak for a few weeks to make sure that the microbes get down into the wood, then dry on a rack in a cool/dry place (I’d avoid direct sunlight and really hot temperatures so it is gentler on the microbes). Make sure you get them fully dried before storage or you risk mold growth.

Al (of East Coast Yeast fame) used wood cubes that he drilled holes in to increase the surface area, Vinnie (or Russian River fame) did something similar with oak chips. The advantage is that it freezes the microbe population (you don’t have to worry about one microbe outcompeting the rest) and doesn’t require regular feedings, but I’m not sure how quickly the different strains die off.
- use remaining oak cubes to store bacteria, boil before inoculating to reduce oak intensity and sanitize
- consider using cubes in secondary of other beers to finish
-> drop a few final gravity points and crisp them up, continue developing depth of flavor, particularly for higher gravity beers that should be lighter in body
