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...

I made monster sized variant of this beer that recently scored a 40,42,44 at the AHA October National Club only Competition in Michigan, and won a gold medal at the Belgian table at 2008 splitrock beer festival.

Notes: This is a work in progress, and a play session to see how the software works.
- Moving towards an all-grain mash for distilling.

Add either more distillers malt and corn, or more molasses to increase ABV, but make sure your yeast can handle the concentration.

Notes: Inspired by the Fantôme Spéciale De Noel, Saison d’Hiver is a big chocolate galoot of a beer. Additions of cinnamon and vanilla bring to mind rich cakes and cocoa.

Mash in at 149° F (65° C) (1.25 quarts/lb strike water) and hold 60 minutes. Boil 90 minutes adding hops as indicated in recipe. Add turbinado and candi sugar for last 5 minutes of the boil. Add vanilla bean and cinnamon stick to the secondary and age one month.

Notes: Mash Grains @ 148 F for 60 min.
Heat sparge water to 180 degrees.
Recirculate wort until clear & begin runoff
Collect approximately 7 gal. and bring to a boil.
Add sugar and 1st hop addition and boil for 75 minutes, adding hops according to the hops schedule. (Dry hops will be added to secondary fermenter.)
Cool wort and transfer to primary fermenter.
Aerate wort and pitch yeast.
Install airlock & ferment around 68 degrees.
When fermentation stops transfer to secondary fermenter and dry hop.
Beer should be ready to bottle or keg in about a week.

Notes: Hop Stand 10 min with hops for "whirlpoop @ 200f" immediately following flame-out.

Hop Stand with hops for "wirlpool @ 100f" as soon as your first hop stand is done and you start your chilling process.

I use hop socks for these hop stands. Even this small batch has a huge amount of hops. Stir carefully and constantly for best utilization. When removed I wring out most of the wort.

Oxygenate well when chilling is complete.

Pale Malt 77.6%
Pre-gelatinized Corn Flakes 20%
Malted White Wheat 2.4%

We mash in at 63C and rest for 50 minutes. Heat up to 68C and rest for 25 minutes. Heat to 73C and rest for 15 minutes before mashing off at 75C.

Hops
Magnum 6.4 IBUs at 98C
Simcoe 7.1 IBUs at 15 minutes after beginning of boil
Amarillo 14.0 IBUs at 65 minutes after beginning of boil (or 5 minutes before end of boil)
Amarillo 9.6 IBUs in the whirlpool

We boil for 70 minutes so adjust these times accordingly based on the length of your boil. Target gravity at end of boil is 17.3 degrees Plato.

We cool the wort to 19C and pitch with our House Belgian Ale strain. We ferment at 21 C until we reach our final gravity of 2.2 degrees Plato.

Tank 7 is dry hopped with Amarillo at the rate of .078 kg per barrel two days out from filtration.
