Notes:
Finish below 1.025 if you do not want it to be sweet. Ferment in the 60s for 4-5 days, and then let it go up into the 70s to finish. Pitch more yeast after 3 weeks if gravity is still high.
***Notes from my first brew of this recipe****
4 months in primary on yeast cake (no move to secondary, no problem)
FG was .014 - 85% attenuation from this strain (the first 21 days I let it get as warm as it wanted, at some points fermentation was so active the temp was over 84 degrees; spent the next 3 months in the mid-60's
Pitched dry bottling yeast and additional sugar to carb it, took about 3 weeks to finish
The aromas of this "young Quad" are very nice - plum, cherry and balanced yeast funkiness. It will only improve with age.
Updated tasting notes - home run for sure, the beer has rounded out with age and is delicious.
Tasting note at Nov '15 @ 16 months...beer has been cellaring around 60 and I just popped a bomber to take a taste. Needless to say I am happy with the product. Deep raisin and fig aroma with a chocolate maltiness and a strong alcohol bite.

| Notes: Standard Munich Dunkel style (but higher gravity than typical, thus the Doppel Dunkel or Double D), using WLP838 (Southern German Lager). I had planned to use WLP833, but forgot to order, so this will be done with 2 vials of WLP838 (with expiration date of Jan. 25, 2015; about 30d old). Will use nearly 15 lbs of Munich malt, rounded out with 5 lbs of German Pilsner, CaraMunich and Carafa II. These are all Weyermann malts. Also, will do protein rest for 20 minutes at about 122F, then 60 minute mash at 152-154. |

Notes: Attempt to get a strong banana flavour to the beer, using a classic approach. The 30C and 40C rests are to induce maltase activity; the very high water:grain ratio helps with this, as maltase is more active in higher pH. The 64C rest for 30% of the mash serves to create a large pool of maltose for conversion in the 40C rest to glucose (by maltose); this ensures a high glucose to maltose ratio to increase production of isoamyl acetate during fermentation. Skipping the beta amylase sacc rest by bringing the whole mash to 72C (where alpha amylase is at work) will hopefully prevent too much additional maltose formation, though the beer may have a lot of body, as it is a high mash temperature.
