Notes: 1.75 L starter made w/ 3 vials whitelabs munich helles 860.
Actual OG 1.051
Cooled w/ wort chiller to 65, racked to carboy and chilled further in chest freezer to 45 (achieved 7 hours later). Aerated and pitched the decanted (chilled) starter. Let temp slowly rise. Krausen activity 24-30 hours later @ 48 degrees. Hit 50 degrees about 36 hours after pitching. Hold at 50.
Down to 1.023 on day 5. Bumped temp up a degree.
Day 6 bumped temp to 53.
1.016 on day 8 and bumped up to 60. sample tasted good. No diacetyl as far as I can tell. Still planning to keep it at 60 for a couple days before lagering, just to be safe.
Transferred to secondary and dropped temp a couple degrees a day until it hit 34. Kept it there 4 weeks, then bottled w/ corn sugar and a bit of washed yeast (probably not necessary).
06/13/14 (4 weeks in bottle) - The beer lacks the maltiness that I was expecting from a munich helles. It's actually pretty fruity, especially in a side by side comparison w/ Andechs Vollbier Hell. Not sure why. Maybe I didn't aerate it well enough, or perhaps I didn't lager it long enough. I enjoy drinking it, but it definitely has a more American flavor profile than I was hoping for. I thought the sample at bottling time was more malty, but can't be certain. KEEP BETTER NOTES!!! |

Notes: Brewed on New Years' Day 2022.
A little bit thinner mouth feel, not as creamy as I was going for.
I will be brewing this again on New Years' Day 2023. I have changed a few things... added 1 pound of flaked oats and boosted the coffee malt from .75 lbs to 1 lb. also switched the whisky from Glenleit to Jaimasons cask mates(stout) and added 2 vanilla beans. The coffee and vanilla will soak in the whisky for 2 weeks and it will all go into the secondary.
Update 2023: Pending
This beer took 3rd place in BOS in the Chico Homebrew competition. I feel like I can still do better. I think it was still a little lite on the body, could have been sweeter, and had more vanilla. I am going to up the lactose and the vanilla beans.
Update 2024: Pending |

Notes: Base Recipe based of Boulevard's Harvest Dance. Recipe came straight from Boulevard.
Aged in 30 gallon used Dark horse Rye Whiskey barrel that was previously used by McCoys for Ursa Major. Some whiskey aroma and stout aroma.
After a month in the barrel pellicle started forming. Aroma was fruity and barnyard. Started to feed dregs of brett and sour beers for the next 4 months.
Beer thinned out but Brett flavor and aroma dominates in a great way. Has some lacto tartness |

Notes: This is a quick kettle sour. It's ideal for anyone who doesn't want to risk "contaminating" their brewing equipment with bacteria.
Make up a lacto starter (*); I use Water Kiefer as the source.
Mash as normal and bring to the boil, then flameout immediately and allow to cool down 38 C. Pitch lacto starter and purge kettle headspace with CO2. Maintain temp. Sample every 12 hrs or so to monitor lacto progress. Once it's sour enough, bring the kettle back up to the boil and continue your brewing process as normal.
* Lactobacillus Starter Method
Combine the following ingredients to a liter of filtered water and boil for 15 minutes:
90 grams Dry Malt Extract
20 grams Dextrose (Glucose)
10 grams Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3 / chalk)
1 gram Yeast Nutrient or DAP (diammonium phosphate)
- Cool this starter solution down to around 38 C and add 100 ml of filtered water kefir.
- Seal the flask with a rubber stopper and airlock to prevent additional oxygen from entering the starter solution.
- Let it stand (covered) until pH reaches about 3.4 (5 days in my case), it will vary a lot depending on room temp.
- If you have a means of providing a temperature controlled environment, optimal growth is typically between 30 and 40 C. |
