Notes: Mill the grains and mash at 156°F (69°C) for 30 minutes (or as long it takes to pass the iodine test). Vorlauf until your runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge the grains with 168°F (76°C) water and top up as necessary to get about 6.6 gallons (25 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 75 minutes, following the schedule for the boil hops.

After the boil, chill the wort to about 64–66°F (18–19°C). Aerate well, add the yeast nutrient, and pitch plenty of healthy yeast. Ferment at 68°F (20°C) until it reaches final gravity, then give it 2 more days to clear diacetyl. Chill to 42°F (6°C) if possible (if not, proceed at 68°F (20°C), but reduce the oak chips by half). Prepare and sanitize a secondary fermentor and place the oak chips and whole-cone hops in a weighted hop bag. Purge the secondary fermentor with CO2 before racking beer into it and adding the first round of dry hops. If possible (i.e., using a conical), dump the cone after the first 3 days, then add the second round of dry hops. After 3 more days (if possible), dump the hops again. Allow up to 2 weeks to clear diacetyl (see below), then crash, package, and carbonate.

BREWER’S NOTES
Very important: On the day of the first dry hop, take a gravity reading of the beer and note this in your brew log. This exercise will be particularly helpful as it relates to hop creep. Three days after the second dry hop, take a gravity reading and note it. Do the same the following day. Once you go 2 days in a row where your gravity has not dropped from the secondary fermentation from hop creep, you can proceed with bottling or kegging. Depending on your conditions, you might have to wait up to 2 weeks to clear the diacetyl from hop creep. (For more about hop creep and testing for diacetyl, see Brewing with Hops: Don’t Get Creeped Out and Hunting for Diacetyl.)

About those bittering hops: There is a limit to how much alpha acid can be isomerized in beer and also to how much can be perceived. While the calculated IBUs for this recipe might be about 195, a spectrometer reading measured them closer to 80. (The yeast also take up a large portion of isomerized alpha acids, which is why the yeast from an IPA fermentation tastes so bitter.)

Notes: Official NORTHERN BREWER Instructional Document
The perfect pint after a hard day’s work, Gaarden Hoe is
an ode to the historic and refreshing Belgian wit. Classic
wheat is expertly tilled into a traditional pilsner malt bill
and modest, grounded hop profile. Coriander and bitter
orange peel offer slightly tart and citrusy undertones to
quench even the most parched palate.

to your starter kit instructions for specific instructions
on use of equipment and common procedures such as
siphoning, sanitizing, bottling, etc.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN ...
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
- Homebrewing starter kit for brewing 5 gallon batches
- Boiling kettle of at least 3.5 gallons capacity
- A 5 gallon glass carboy, with bung and airlock, to use as a
secondary fermenter
- Approximately two cases of either 12 oz or 22 oz pry-off
style beer bottles
UNPACK THE KIT
- Refrigerate the yeast upon arrival
- Locate the Kit Inventory (above) – this is the recipe for your
beer, so keep it handy
- Doublecheck the box contents vs. the Kit Inventory
- Contact us immediately if you have any
questions or concerns!
PROCEDURE
A FEW DAYS BEFORE BREWING DAY
1. Remove the liquid Wyeast pack from the refrigerator,
and “smack” as shown on the back of the yeast package.
Leave it in a warm place (70–80° F) to incubate until the
pack begins to inflate. Allow at least 3 hours for inflation;
some packs may take up to several days to show inflation.
Do not brew with inactive yeast — we can replace the
yeast, but not a batch that fails to ferment properly. If
you are using dry yeast, no action is needed.
ON BREWING DAY
2. Collect and heat 2.5 gallons of water.
3. Bring to a boil and add 4 lbs Wheat DME. Remove the
kettle from the burner and stir in the Wheat DME.
4. Return wort to boil. The mixture is now called “wort”,
the brewer’s term for unfermented beer.
- Add 1 oz Saaz hops, and boil for 60 minutes.
- Add 2 lbs Pilsen DME and 1 oz Saaz 15 minutes before the
end of the boil.
- Add 1 oz Coriander and 1 oz Bitter Orange Peel 5 minutes
before the end of the boil. You may crush the seeds before
adding if you wish.
5. Cool the wort. When the 60-minute boil is finished,
cool the wort to approximately 100° F as rapidly as
possible. Use a wort chiller, or put the kettle in an ice
bath in your sink.
6. Sanitize fermenting equipment and yeast pack. While
the wort cools, sanitize the fermenting equipment –
fermenter, lid or stopper, fermentation lock, funnel, etc –
along with the yeast pack and a pair of scissors.
7. Fill primary fermenter with 2 gallons of cold water,
then pour in the cooled wort. Leave any thick sludge in
the bottom of the kettle.
8. Add more cold water as needed to bring the
volume to 5 gallons.
9. Aerate the wort. Seal the fermenter and rock back
and forth to splash for a few minutes, or use an aeration
system and diffusion stone.
10. OPTIONAL: if you have our Mad Brewer Upgrade or
Gravity Testing kits, measure specific gravity of the wort
with a hydrometer and record.
11. Add yeast once the temperature of the wort is 78°F or
lower (not warm to the touch). Use the sanitized scissors
to cut off a corner of the yeast pack, and carefully pour
the yeast into the primary fermenter.
12. Seal the fermenter. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of
water to the sanitized fermentation lock. Insert the lock
into rubber stopper or lid, and seal the fermenter.
13. Move the fermenter to a warm, dark, quiet spot until
fermentation begins.
GAARDEN HOE
BEYOND BREWING DAY, WEEKS 1–2
14. Active fermentation begins. Within approximately
48 hours of Brewing Day, active fermentation will
begin – there will be a cap of foam on the surface of
the beer, and you may see bubbles come through the
fermentation lock.
15. Active fermentation ends. Approximately 1–2 weeks
after brewing day, active fermentation will end: the cap
of foam falls back into the new beer, bubbling in the
fermentation lock slows down or stops.
16. Transfer beer to secondary fermenter. Sanitize
siphoning equipment and an airlock and carboy bung or
stopper. Siphon the beer from the primary fermenter into
the secondary.
BEYOND BREWING DAY—
SECONDARY FERMENTATION
17. Secondary fermentation. Allow the beer to condition in
the secondary fermenter for 2 weeks before proceeding
with the next step. Timing now is somewhat flexible.
BOTTLING DAY—ABOUT 4 WEEKS
AFTER BREWING DAY
18. Sanitize siphoning and bottling equipment.
19. Mix a priming solution (a measured amount of sugar
dissolved in water to carbonate the bottled beer) of 2/3
cup priming sugar in 16 oz water. Bring the solution to a
boil and pour into the bottling bucket.
20. Siphon beer into bottling bucket and mix with priming
solution. Stir gently to mix—don’t splash.
21. Fill and cap bottles.
1–2 WEEKS AFTER BOTTLING DAY
22. Condition bottles at room temperature for 1–2 weeks.
After this point, the bottles can be stored cool or cold.
23. Serving. Pour into a clean glass, being careful to leave
the layer of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Cheers!

Notes: Wanted to brew a belgianish sort of beer with my wild yeast. The cascade hops (I know, not Belgian) were from my yard and I 'aged' them by baking at 170F for something like 10 hours.
