Notes: ====================
4/10/22
final adjustments. going to get new yeast so probably lower attenuation so bumping up grain bill a little bit. subbing saaz in for hallertau mitelfruh flavoring hoping to achieve that faint lemon woodey taste that hardywood singel has.

running on tap water like before.

====================
1/18/2022
adjustments for 2022 batch, hoping to send to NHC...

adding back in the 0.5lb carapils, reducing base malt to get under 7%.

specifying G40 equipment and adjusting for 8gal/6gal/5.5gal volumes. a little nervous about relying on 75% efficiency again and the 89% attenuation??

should consider doing water profile...

should consider doing 10 gallons....? with 1.5 or even 1.0 qt/lb i should be able to mash the whole thing in the G40...

====================
2/4/2021
Updating recipe.

yeast : The original 1214 pouch did not show any swelling, pitched anyway, still no activity 48 hours later. emergency pitched reused 3787 from fridge mightve been 18 months old tbh. fermentation took off and fermented to low 1005 FG making this 7.2%

hops: i couldnt get tradition so i settled for mittelfruh.

taste test / comparison with hardywood : color is nearly identical, even the carbonation level is pretty similar, and the murkiness. i was hoping mine to clear out a little but it is the same vaguely medium clarity as singel. the aroma is very similar, although singel has more of a tart bright lemoney and faint woodey smell. i suspect that must be from finishing hops. i thought mine might be too belgianey yeastey but its not really any "louder" than singel. need to find some belgian appropriate noble hops for flavoring and amp it up a bit and we may be in business.

i think what we are looking for here is saaz hops. they are supposed to be citrus spicy and woody. i think those will be spot on for the next brew.

also singel has more head and retention. could add some carafoam or carapils for that.

i think theres some coriander in this singel too. idk. i wouldnt want to take mine there but we could dial up the fermentation temperature to see if it maybe comes off from the yeast.
====================

Brew Day
Measured 1060 OG on 5 gallons in fermentor for 75g efficiency.
====================
11/27/2020
taking some notes from mad fermentationalist https://www.themadfermentationist.com/2011/07/belgian-single-recipe-with-brett.html

adding acid malt for pH. probably should start with distilled and adjust eek still could. changing to hallertau german tradition. changing to 1214. should be ok to use later in tripel or golden strong?
====================
6/3/2020 brew day
Removed 0.5 dextrine carapils bc dont have it on hand. Still rolling with it at 6.2%. downgrade eff to 65....update : OG 1061 so actual eff 67%

====================
5.7.2020
Removing 2nd hallertau and ekg additions for simplicity. Ref https://byo.com/article/belgian-blond-style-profile/

Planning to reuse yeast for other heavier Belgian styles so I'm starting with wy 3787

====================
2020 belgian blonde

trying this again, after failed COTU (not a great effort). Copying recipe from that although it was only 2row. I think i might be able to get closer.

changing :
* 2row back to pilsner
* reducing pilsner a little to land around 6.5%
* reducing efficiency from 72 to 69
* changing T-58 back to WY1214 (originally used with trustmonkey)
* this time be sure to boil 90 minutes (trustmonkey was only 60)

=====================
COTU belgian blonde
update jan 2019
Update they probably meant the wort was 1055 preboil. After brew day the OG was 1065 so in taking a little of the cane sugar out of the recipe (haven't added it yet)

copied from 2016 trustmonkey recipe. that batch turned out bad but im blaming the yeast / fermentation on it. will be getting mystery wort from center of the universe for a contest. the brewery says it will be 100% 2 row at 14 plato which is 1057 so this recipe lines up with that being that i could add the cane sugar. (i really dont want to have to add any DME). of course, this is a malty beer so i would be at the mercy of whatever malt bill they use for most of the flavor. might be fun to do it this way instead of covering it up with hops etc.

also im changing out the WY1214 for Safale T-58 to coincide with another ongoing experiment....should be fine...

============================
copied from 2015's blinde recipe. came out with 5 gallons exactly but was under on gravity - 1.044 (without the sugar), wanted to hit 1.051. By chance I have some Pilsen LME so I will add enough to add 7 pts. Wort has been chilling for one day while yeast starter....starts. Adding the LME and pitching tonight (night after brew night)

2/25/2021
brew day
1.065 OG without lactose and beet juice
1.074 OG with lactose and beet juice
this calculator i dont think includes lactose in the OG calculation...? but the beets it appears it does.
adjusting my efficiency from 70 to 63 to match calculated vs measured OG without the adjunct sugars. not making adjustments to the beet juice input, appears it matches the measured.
===================================
2/24/2021
brew day tomorrow
reducing the beet weight from 6lbs to 3lb. it was kinda a lot of beets, i juiced them yesterday, it amounted to about 3 cups juice. gonna just add that to last 5 minutes of the boil (to sanitize), maybe along with the lactose. would be nice to take a gravity reading before adding this stuff to get a data point on my grain efficiency.

reducing cocoa nibs from 5 to 4 bc the bag came with 4 unless i can find another oz in my stash somewhere.
===================================
initial recipe formulation notes
getting some of my amounts (beets -> PPG and Lovibond, amount, etc) from https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/208903/beet-stout

unsure how much beet to use. clawhammer used 1lb. this BF recipe used 12lb, juiced. im putting 6lb because that is my lucky milkshake number but will have to call it on the fly. i think i will juice them - take a gravity reading on cooled wort, then mix in the beet juice, and take gravity reading again to check the difference. this way we might get some data on how much sugar is in that lovely juice.

(this method chosen over mash or BK because "If you plan to mash or boil beets you most likely will lose that amazing color! The pigment betanin is temperature sensitive and will drop out in a semi-reversable reaction; meaning you may see some pigment recovery after the wort cools, but not much." https://www.reddit.com/r/Homebrewing/comments/96hpla/fact_beers_eat_beets/)

CHOOSING CRYSTAL not sure what to do for hops. is all we want is bittering? are there any faint flavors from hops that will add to this beer? maybe steal something from stouts, but stouts have all that roast so the play is different. maybe whatever might be in a fruited blonde ale. not sure comparing to sours or saisons either is a good idea.
* clawhammer uses nelson sauvin - i think too funky and fruity
* some of my previous stouts i use northern brewer - described as slightly minty which i never got but may be more evident in this kind of beer
* hallertau blanc, hersbrucker
* cluster is mild, blackcurrant aroma. used in NB chocolate milk stout
* liberty - mild spice and floral. basically any noble hop might do the job here
* crystal - strongest of these noble style hops, cinnamon nutmeg black pepper
* mt hood - also noble. slight honey like, mild herbal floral , lemoney

for hop schedule. im choosing warrior to do some bittering work and crystal for some noble flavor balance. this compared to purple drank blueberry blonde is the exact same OG and FG on paper and that one was 27IBU and came out way too sweet (and thin...i suspect it mightve been lower FG than that and i just didnt measure it and adjust the recipe). So for this I'm pumping up into the 50s.

using 5 oz. saw a "chocolate blonde" on BF that used this much. some websites say start with 3 or 4oz as a starting point.

Notes: So much shitty stuff is happening... terrorism, extinction, global warming, zika... and now Donald Trump is now elected President! America and the World needs to cheer up and have a homebrew!

Make a big 1.2L yeast starter with my a homemade stir plate!

Added 300g of the honey for 10 minute boil only.

Smell of zesty orange peel. Delightful fresh taste with with good body. Copper colour, with taste notes of freshly crushed coriander seeds. Head is aggressive on the pour due to high carbonation, but settles comfortably after a few minutes.

>malt extract can be light or extra light
>yeast should be Belgian Wit (wheat) beer type
>use light honey

Directions for 5gal batch:
O.G.: 1.056-1.060
F.G.: 1.008-1.010
Bitterness: 18BU
Colour: 4SRM (8 EBC)
Alcohol: 6.3% by volume

Add malt extract, honey, and boiling hops to 7.5L water and boil for 60 mins. Add the Irish moss, flavour hops, and half the ground coriander for 10 mins. Add the remaining ground coriander and orange peel for the final 5 minutes. Add the aroma hops for the final 1-2 minutes of boiling. Strain, sparge, and transfer immediately to 7.5L of cold water in the fermenter. Top off with additional water to make 19L. Aaerate the wort very well. Pitch the yeast when the temperature of the wort is about 21C. Ferment at about 21C for about 1 week or when fermentatino shows signs of calming and stopping.
Prime with sugar and bottle or keg when fermentation is complete. For added attraction add one whole coriander seed to each bottle when bottling (microwave them if worried).
