Notes: Special Instructions / Notes:
The January 2006 meeting saw the return of three versions of the Bobby Belgian for the tasting. Amazing differences between the three different forms. Sirgei's using the Canadian/Belgian yeast had a funky musty phenolic aroma and a sweeter finish. George Mahoney's (also using the Canadian/Belgian yeast) was more subdued due to George's use of a cool fermentation profile. Steve Cook's version using the Wyeast Trappist High Gravity and a more aggressive fermentation schedule (high 70's) yielded a spicy dry brew that was clear of fusel alcohols. Of the three, Steve's was voted the tops and won him the mug and the slot as our entrant into the AHA Club Only for Belgians.

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!

5. Cool to 110*F
6. Pitch half the quart of Goodbelly
7. Cover loosely and allow to sour at 100*F for 2-3 days until pH around 3.4
8. Boil for 30 minutes to kill remaining lactobacillus and add 0.5 tsp of yeast nutrient, Irish moss, and lactose in final 15min
9. Cool for 85*F
10. Pitch entire packet of A20
11. When primary fermentation finished rack onto 3lb of raspberry puree
12. Allow to referment or age until finished (7+days)
13. Keg and carbonate to 3 vol at refrigerator temperature

Notes: multi-rest mashing:
- on step #2 & #3: resting the mash at this temperature has been show to improve the yield, regardless of the malts used. Varying the times spent at the 60 and 70°C rests allows you to adjust the fermentable sugar profiles. For example, a 20 minute rest at 60°C, combined with a 40 minute rest at 70°C produces a sweet, heavy, dextrinous beer; while switching the times at those temperatures would produce a drier, lighter bodied, more alcoholic beer from the same grain bill.

continuous sparge:
- The wort is re-circulated and drained until about an inch of wort remains above the grain bed. The sparge water is gently added, as necessary, to keep the fluid at least at that level. The goal is to gradually replace the wort with the water, stopping the sparge when the gravity is 1.008 or when enough wort has been collected, whichever comes first.
