Notes: This is an adapted Christmas ale. The spices have been removed and more stout-characteristic grains have been added. It may be difficult to mash/sparge due to the stickiness of the oatmeal.

Notes: Shooting for about 6 gallons in boil. I haven't gotten my water mash/boil quantities dialed in...still kind of guessing.

Soak zest of 3 Grapefruits in vodka, in the freezer until secondary (all goes in).

Hibiscus flowers go in 1/2 gallon boiling water and steep 10 to 15 minutes. Strain and chill in sanitized container until ready to use.

Guessing on priming...will check temperature and volume, and adjust when ready. (And go on the low side, as per my usual issue with over-carbing.)

Notes: Modified version of a Spotted Cow clone recipe. I'm not a big fan of the cream ale style so was looking for something established that I might actually enjoy drinking. Or someone will.

OG recipe here (unaltered notes below):
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/672/spotted-clown-new-glarus-spotted-cow-clone-

-----------
pitch 1600 ml starter at 68 degrees

Mash in the 152 to 154 range for a bit of body. You do not want the beer to thin.

I've made this brew 6 times. Last batch was Mar 6 2014. If you have ever tried this brew from wisconsin, (New Glarus) brewery this recipe comes close to what Spotted Cow is all about. They claim it is a Farmhouse Ale but do not use Saison yeast.

After extensive research this is what I came up with for a recipe.The are secretive about the yeast they use, but the consensus is, it is a Kolsch yeast either Wyeast 2565 or WLP 029 and I think it is 029. My preference is 2565. Wyeast 2565 is my house yeast.

Ferment at 58-60 degrees with Wyeast 2565 or 62-65 with WLP 029

I've had good compliments on this brew from others. I live on the Wisconsin border and they don't sell it in Illinois, for some reason they will not ship it to this state. Will update as needed but for now this recipe is a pretty solid clone.

I made 11 gals (2 batches) in march 2014 I cant keep it in the house fast enough. SWMBO and her friends love it. With the temps soaring in Chicago this is a great brew for summer.From kettle to glass is about 5 weeks so turnover is quick. Good luck if you try it, shouldn't be disappointed.

Made batch 7 (5 gal) on 6-14-14 and used Mt. Hood for flavoring (.5) and aroma (.5) I think the domestic hops are closer to the original flavor. -enjoy-

Made batch #8 2-28-2015 no changes should be ready to drink mid April

Cheers

Chill immediately at end of 75 min boil.

Allow to sit covered x 1 hr prior to draining to FV

OXYGENATE prior to yeast pitch.

Ferment at 50F x 7 days, then raise 1-2F every 1 day until 64F or terminal gravity.

Once SG has stabilized, cold crash x 7 days adding gelatin on day 4.

Notes: absolutely perfect, love this beer

what I use for the extract base is

http://www.homebrewery.com/beer/beer-extracts-dry.shtml

American Light Dry Extract. - We package this big bag of mixed fermentables because it makes a great American-style beer. Contains 3 ½ lbs. Light Dry Malt Extract and 1 lb. Granulated Honey.

I ended up dry hopping with 1 ounce then filtered with a 5 micron filter then after kegging I kegged hopped with 1 ounce for 1 day just to get a stronger flavor, worked perfect

Notes: Start fermentation cool at about 50°F (10°C), and hold there for the first forty-eight hours.

For every day thereafter, increase your temperature by 1°F (about 0.5°C) for ten days.

After it’s been in the fermentor for twelve days, it should be at a steady 60°F (15.5°C). Activity in the airlock should be low (but not absent).

At that point, I let that sucker free rise to the warmest temperature I can find in my brewery. Why? To ensure that my yeast goes back and does a healthy diacetyl cleanup and scrounges up all remaining fermentable sugars. I give the beer an additional nine days (now we’re at three weeks in the fermentor)

Then cold-crash to near-freezing to begin the clearing process.

Notes: Ideas from https://www.fivebladesbrewing.com/guinness-secrets-revealed/

- using soft water with no minerals
- sourness comes from lactic acid
- steeping roasted barley instead of mashing
- double gravity wort diluted to target OG
