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. |

Notes: Note to future self: Ground malt to midway between the 0.05 and 0.025 settings (so 0.0375?), and ended up too fine and it didn't drain well from the mash tun.
This recipe is based on Vytautas Jančys's Keptinis recipe from Historical Brewing Techniques by Lars Marius Garshol.

Otherwise, very normal brew until the end of the mash at which point I covered a baking sheet in spent grain (this was only a small portion of the overall grain), and baked it. Since the wort wasn't draining well from the mash tun, I spent a long time trying to stir the wort out of the mash, and scooping it out and pressing it through strainers. I think it was about an hour before I could get about 6G from the mash tun and began the boil. I boiled it for about 20 minutes before adding my bittering hops, then 15 minutes and added my immersion cooler, then another 15 minutes and then added my flavour hops before starting to cool the wort.
I only cooled the wort down to about 60 or 70C, at which point I put it back into the mash tun (with most of the grain removed), then I dumped in the baked grain to soak for 30 minutes to an hour before draining again (this time much easier since there was very little grain) into a bucket where I pitched my kveik and went to bed.
About 5 hours later I got up and saw that the kveik wasn't doing anything, so I pitched another pack of kveik I had and waited 4 more hours, before finally giving up and pitching a pack of dry US-05 which grew a krausen within minutes.
To be fair, the packs of kveik I had were pretty old. If this brew turns out even moderately well, I'll want to try it again with kveik.
After the gravity dropped by about 30 points (about 12 hours after I pitched the US-05, 21 hours total from transferring to the open bucket), I transferred to a glass carboy.
See the tilt graph here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wzd0I1CZFdyxrhJR-jzwBLvwTIT5-TX3BXMVCHyaGmI/edit#gid=189348009
Within about 16 more hours (37 hours total), it had gone from 1.073 to 1.016. It stayed at about 30C pretty much the entire time, which is well above US-05's temperature max recommended temp of 25. It's been about a week since I made this, and I'm planning to wait another week before bottling.
Note that about a week after brewing, it looked like it was stable at 1.015, but then I accidentally jostled the carboy a bit and the SG dropped to 1.011. My best guess is that the floating hydrometer was pressed up against the side of the carboy, so it wasn't giving a valid reading until I jostled it.
Another note: from watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4CdMlUpZUI I gather that it's pronounced KEPTEENEE. |

Notes: - Homebrew store ran out of UK pale so had to substitute some Maris Otter
- Brewed on 10/6/18
- Expecting mash efficiency of 70% (vs. typical ~75%-79% for smaller beers) which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.078
- Add brewing salts and lactic acid to the strike water prior to doughing-in
- Initial PH was X.X vs. 5.37 expected. **Tested PH meter and need to recalibrate. Can't rely on reading which I believe was showing too high.
- Mash temp fluctuated a bit but was able to settle it at ~154F
- Hit 17.9 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.074 vs. 1.078 target so 66% mash efficiency vs. 70% expected. **For big beers going forward I should not expect better than 66-67% mash efficiency.
- Original gravity reading was 23.6 plato which converts to 1.099
- After boil had ~6.25 gallons in the kettle and ~5.75 gallons made it into the fermenter
- Pitched 2 smack packs of wyeast 1728; started fermentation at 64F and held here.
- Packaged on 10/17/18 and final gravity reading was 1.027 so attenuation was 73% vs. 71% expected.
- This beer scored a 40 and got second place in it's category in the Square Kegs Winterbrew 2019 competition |
