Notes: ==================================
1/6/2021
took the detre clone recipe and doubled it (all malt amounts, all hop amounts) with the following mods :
* subbed out belgian candi sugar for 2.5 lb honey
* subbed out wyeast belgian ardennes 3522 for wyeast trappist high gravity 3787
* added .75 lb acid malt for pH balance based on henrico county water (guestimate)
* changed yeast attenuation from default 76% to predicted 85%. it might end up being higher than that, usually is higher for highly fermentable beers with simple sugars. for the honey tripel it was in the 90s. (i am not completely sure i am using this attenuation knob correctly but basically after the brew is done I go back and adjust this percentage until the calculated FG matches the measured FG)

issues/concerns :
* how much yeast is needed. use yeast calculator to decide how many packs to buy and/or how big a starter to try to build
* even though the hops are doubled, i think the IBU is too low for a beer of this gravity. It might be ok for short turnaround for contest but if done right I think it deserves a higher IBU which will help it stay balanced as it ages.
* i could see the efficiency on this beer being bad. currently set to 55 but i wouldnt be surprised if it is 50 or even less if we do 100% all grain. should consider reducing the base malt and using some DME which is more reliable / predictable
** we could consider boiling extra long too. Last time we boiled all in one giant pot but if we boiled in separate pots we could probably boil off more volume and get a better higher OG
* aside from the question of "can our mash tuns fit 20-somethin lbs grain", we could consider just buying and splitting a 50lb sack of belgian pale malt - not sure if OG has that but they def have sacks of pilsner malt which would be similar (but have to boil at least 90 mins)

other items we talked about :
* oaking with rum and/or whiskey soaked oak cubes

original detre clone recipe from American Homebrewers Association : https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/dogfish-head-raison-detre-clone/

==================================
To brew this Dogfish Head Raison D’Etre clone, mash grains at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes. Mash out at 158°F (70° C) for 10 minutes. Sparge and bring to a boil, adding hops at specified intervals.

Halfway through boil, remove two cups of wort from kettle and soak raisins for 10-20 minutes. Puree in a blender and add back to kettle 10 minutes from the end of the boil, along with the candi sugar. Shut off the boil and add aromatic hops.

Chill to 70°F (21°C), aerate or oxygenate well and pitch ale yeast slurry. Ferment at 70-75°F (21-24°C) until fermentation is complete.

Notes: This recipe requires Iso-alpha concentrate which can be purchased from http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Isomerised-Hop-Extract-57ml-Isomerized.html. I'm not sure of the correct amount to use as mines came measured, but I made my brew with an IBU of 30. Also. all the hops in this recipe are in hop teabags which are added to the end of fermentation. The teabags can be purchased from Amazon or Ebay. Here's the recipe:

Bring 3 liters of water to a boil. Add Candi sugar and dissolve. Add spices in a musin cloth and boil for 10 minutes. Add this concoction, including spice bag to fermentation bucket. Add liquid malt to bucket and stir until evenly distributed. Top up bucket of fermenter to 23 liters. Add liquid Iso-alpha concentrate to wort. Oxygenate the wort by stirring it vigorously creating a foamy layer on top of wort. Pitch yeast on top of wort. No need to rehydrate yeast, but feel free if you like. I used two packs (20g total) of Mangrove Jacks M41 Belgian Ale yeast. Allow to fermentate at 74F for at least two weeks. Once fermenation is done and stable, boil 500ml of water and add to a bowl. Add all hop tea bags and let seep for 10 minutes. Add this hop tea, including tea bags to wort. Allow this tea to seep in fermentor for 5 days before bottling. Batch prime wort using 6.5oz of dextrose and bottle. Allow to further fermentate in bottles for 3-6 weeks or longer.

Notes: TROIS PISTOLES CLONE

Steep at 65-71C for 45 minutes in a grain bag then rinse thoroughly as you fill up the brew pot.

Don't use too much star anise spice.

Wait at least 2 months before drinking this bad boy (consider racking to secondary fermentation). You could even let it sit 6-12 months to ensure whatever bits of star anise that made it into the fermenter have mellowed out.

Instructions for making inverted sugar (scale as necessary):
1 lb sugar (better to use pure cane sugar - I used the brown variant)
1 tsp lemon juice
1.5 cups water
Place all ingredients in a pan
Bring to a boil
Boil for approximately 20 minutes

Original inspiration was from QUAD PISTOLES recipe below. I scaled and tweaked it a little to reduced the alcohol content, and to bring up the IBU a little (as usual!). I don't have access inverted sugar or liquid malt extract. I crushed whole star anise seeds instead of using powder.

Due to the homebrew shop limitation, I made the following swap:
Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L --> Caramunich III
Biscuit Malt (23.0 SRM) --> Melanoidin Malt
Yeast strain
etc...

Attempted to make a small beer but overall efficiency combining big and small was too low, I'd have to add a lot of DME. Plus it was oddly cloudy.

Thanks Mr Finke for bringing the full grain setup
4 weeks in primary, last 7 days for dry hop

If you take out the pacific gem you will have the original recipe. We just added for some more bitter/flavor.

Notes: To make Citrus Simple Syrup:
1. Take the peel from 6 oranges / 2 lemon and blanch them 3x.
2. Make simple syrup: 800g of sugar + 800g of water.
3. Add the peel and simmer for 45 minutes.
4. Dehydrate peel on low heat for about 24 hours.

Hopstand:
Once boil is complete and wort is below 170F, add Citra (6 oz), Lemon Drop (2 oz) and citrus simple syrup for a 20min whirlpool.
