Notes: biterness slightly high, I want to lager this beer. Styrian goldings' spiciness well accommodated by dubbel and quadrupel.

Should be not too dark, rather deep brown.
huge dark fruits, prunes, raisins, figs, dates, grapes. Slight oakiness.

Focus on the quality of candy sugar! Dark fruits come from there, only followed by caramel from malt.
Perhaps exchange some pale ale to lighten the color and accommodate more specialty malt.

Keep the grain bill simple, most of the color comes from caramelized sugar (but not burnt!). don't be afraid of long boil - 120-150 min to enrich in melanoidins.

Fermentation temp. Start at 14C, increase over 14 days to 25C. Secondary at 10C for 6weeks . Fill the south african rum barrel and age for 9 weeks. Bottle condition for 12 months.

Yielded 30L of wort at 1.084 before candy syrup addition. Efficiency 83%.

Notes after fermentation: After 15 days of primary d = 1.021. Secondary in the room at 16C. Yeast look very healthy.
after additional 10 days(17.10.2015), gravity still 1.021. Racked off to a glass carboy, brandy-oak wood added and 0.5g of potassium metabisulfite.
03.05.2016. Still sitting in the carboy with wood. D = 1.011 (check before bottling). pH 4.4. estimated 11%

Notes: Steep grain in 3.5lts water at 68 degrees C for 30 mins (remove bag), add 4.5lts of water bring to boil add 1 tub of munton's light malt extract (1.8kg) and boil until foam starts to settle about 15 mins. Start the 60 min boil after this, @60 min add 10g pacific jade, @ 30 mins add 10g citra, 10g zythos,(also add 1 teaspoon of Irish moss at 30 mins)(start to rehydrate yeast at 20 mins) @ 5 mins add 10g zythos and 10g citra, @flame out add 10g zythos and 10g citra. Cooled wort in sink of cold/iced water until it is under 20 degrees and pitched the yeast. After 5 days increased temp to 21 degrees, then after another 48 hours dry hopped with 10g of cascade, 30g citra, 20 zythos. Tasted @ day 5 and it was very bitter. So I bought 3 440g tins of sliced mango, I froze the flesh and added the syrup to the brew. when I dry hopped I added the frozen mango also approx 500g. left for 8 days then bottled. I tasted this yesterday (3 weeks in the bottle) and the mango has smoothed out the bitterness and I am now planing on brewing this again at 23lt as it tastes darn good. If a little hazy.

Notes: Crush grain, mash at 152 for 60 minutes. Target a PH of 5.2, I used lactic acid to adjust this. I used distilled water and add back in minerals. This was batch sparged. Boil for 60 minutes, cool to 70 degrees F, then add the appropriate amount oxygen, pitch the dry yeast and drop temp to 67 degrees F
1st 2.5 oz dry hop additions are at high krausen, second after fermentation is done. Raise temp if needed to clean up yeast flavors, cold crash after 3-5 days of second dry hop charge. Burst carbonate, and enjoy.

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

Notes: A very traditional English best bitter, derived from the following real ale recipes in Graham Wheeler's book Brew Your Own British Real Ale:

Adnams
Adnams explorer
Bass draught
Brakspear
Brakspear special
Deuchars IPA
Courage best
Courage Directors
Flowers IPA
Flowers Original
Fullers ESB
Hop back summer lightning
Marstons Pedigree
Moorhouses Pendle Witches
Morland Old Speckled Hen
Ruddles Best
Theakston Old Peculiar
Taylor Landlord
Wadworth 6X
Youngs Special

Hop level and crystal malt level are averages of the values in the the above recipes.

2% torrified wheat added for head retention only.

Wyeast 1968 (Fuller's ESB strain) chosen for its estery profile and malty finish. Fermentation temp 20 deg C for moderate ester production.

Brewed with London tap water. Half the volume boiled to reduce bicarbonate hardness. 2 grams gypsum added to raise sulphate level slightly.

This recipe is designed for brew-in-a-bag using a 19 litre stockpot. Efficiency worked out at 75% according to Brewersfriend and 80% according to Beer Engine. IBU level 33 according to Beer Engine, but true value likely to be slightly under this as brew-in-a-bag has lower utilization.

Accolades:
*2nd out of 30 American Lagers in the 2016 Indiana Brewers Cup (Score 42)
*1st in the 2017 NHC First Round (Score 42 from 1 Master)
*Silver in the 2017 NHC Final Round (Score 44 from 2 Masters)

The key to making this great is getting the FG to 1.008. The NHC Final batch finished at 1.008 and was noticeably better with more "pop" than my 1st Round batch (FG 1.010). A 60 minute+ rest at 146 or so is key, in my opinion.

Hybrid of Coors Banquet & Budweiser. Both beers use approx 70:30 barley:adjunct

Coors: 70% 2-Row and 30% Corn
Bud: 70% 6-Row and 30% Rice

This beer uses approx 90:10 6-Row:Corn. Decreasing the adjunct keeps the beer w/i style guidelines but it still actually tastes like beer. Most of my macro-hating beer snob friends like this beer, FWIW.

The batch brewed for NHC 1st Round in early Jan-17 was a 6 gallon batch and used WLP 840. This batch split between WLP840 and WLP850. Submitted bottles of WLP 840 to NHC Finals. 850 made a Heineken-like lager... a perfectly decent beer but the 840-half was more to-style. WY2007 also works well for this beer, and WY2035 is great but only has seasonal availability.

morebeer grains -> low efficiency :(

Served at Brooklyn spring coronation, went pretty fast, was well liked by people who were generally not that into beer. Was super clear considering >50% wheat/oat malt and a decent dry hop.

Notes: Step by Step
One week before brew day, get a WLP007 yeast starter going. When starter activity slows, decant the spent wort and add fresh wort.On brew day, crush the grains and place in two steeping bags. Steep the bags at 155 °F (68 °C) in 16 quarts (15 L) of water for 20 minutes. Rinse the grains with 2 quarts (2 L) of 170 °F (77 °C) hot water. Add dried malt extract (DME) and table sugar. Boil for 60 minutes, adding the hops at the specified times. Chill the wort to 70 °F (21 °C) and add water to achieve 5 gallons (19 L) of wort. Aerate the wort and add WLP007 starter (decanting the spent wort first). When fermentation slows, take a gravity reading and add WLP099 starter (if needed) to achieve a final specific gravity of 1.035. Keg or bottle carbonate, aiming for a carbonation level of 2.0–2.2 volumes of CO2. Once carbonated, condition at cellar temperature for several months. Flavor should peak at about one year and remain there for at least another year.

Tips for Success:
Pitching plenty of healthy yeast is paramount for a high gravity brew. When in doubt, pitch more. Be patient with the fermentation and conditioning process. Beer doesn't have a schedule. For bottle carbonation, pitch fresh yeast at bottling time if the WLP099 wasn't needed during the brew day. Give the bottles adequate time to carbonate. This beer needs to age, anyway. You'll thank me later for saving it until its peak. If you would like, try aging this beer in a bourbon barrel. How long to barrel condition is a matter of individual taste. Our club likes a full bourbon flavor, so we age the beer for several months. We don't worry about temperature. The barrel's alive, and varying temperatures allow the wood to expand and contract, imparting those wonderful oak and bourbon flavors.
