Notes: Soaked the cocoa, pepper, cinnamon, vanilla and oak in 2 cups of white tequila for 7 days. After 7 days I strained the tincture and added the liquid to the secondary. After adding, let the beer sit in the secondary for 4 weeks.

Notes: Boil the 13# extract for 3 hours in 3 gallons of water. Add first 2 gallons of runoff to that. Sparge entire mash very slowly; it should take 90 minutes. Boil collected wort at hot, rolling boil entire time. When sufficient wort is collected, add the extract and first running to it. Then add hops and start 60 minute boil. Continue to collect wort until it falls below 1.40 or half hour, whichever comes first. Boil and concentrate that and add to kettle. Ferment wort as cool as ale yeast will allow. Mid to high 50's are ideal. Pitch a ton of yeast.

Update from "Cobbler Summer Ale - Cool Change":
- Switch from WLP320 American Hef to WLP090 San Diego Super to remove esters and add crispness
- Reduced whirlpool hopping utilisation from 5% (previous thumb-suck) to 1% for IBU calculations (rough alignment with Lyrebird_Cycles IBU spreadsheet), since previous version was well under-bittered
- Increase 20 minute hop addition to replace lost IBUs from the whirlpool
- Lowered mash temp from 67 to 65.5 deg to improve attenuation and increase dryness / crispness

Notes: Thursday 11th June 2015 - 200g DME + 2L water + 1.5mL 88% lactic acid (did not measure pH but intention was to lower to about 4.5). CO2 bubbled through to purge oxygen and 5 dl whole pilsner malt added at 45oC as lacto source. Oxygen purged again and added to insulated mash tun with 49oC water.

Friday 12th June - 8am = 37oC. Added fresh boiled water to raise water temp to 45oC. 4pm = 34oC. Added fresh boiled water to raise water temp to 49oC. Noticeable activity from the grain. Rewrapped with cling film to insulate as wont touch again till Sunday.

Sunday 14th June - 6pm = 22oC. Smells of ethyl acetate but didnt get much in the taste. Looks like acetobacter on top of the grain / liquid / air surface. pH = 3.5 but tastes much more intense than the last attempt... More "fruity" acid.
Strike at 75oC. Mash temp 70.6oC. Ooops.
Calcium Sulphate (Gypsum): 2g to strike water
Calcium Chloride 2g added to strike water as 33% solution (not as dihydrate) so scaling / correction factor = 110.98 g/mol (anhydrous) / 147.014 g/mol (dihydrate) * 3 = 2.26. 2g x 2.26 = 4.5 mL.
Lactic Acid (88%): 2.5 mL of 3.5 mL predicted added to strike water
Measured mash pH 5.5 (pH meter reading 0.1 unit high across the calibration range).
After mashing added more lactic acid to reduce the pH to <4.5. Ran out of acid at pH 4.8.
Mash OG = 1.043. Diluted with water to reach 48oC. Crappy thermometer read about 1.5oC lower than the actual temp. Added lacto starter after scooping as much of the surface scum off (strongly smelling ethyl acetate acetobacter scum?). Pitch temp = 46.5oC. Thermostat set to not get that warm this time.

Monday 15th June - 7am = 32oC so raised thermostat but forgot to keep an eye on it. came back and thermometer read 48.5 (so 50oC). Idiot. Turned thermostat back down. time to couple an stc1000 to this thing

Tuesday 16th June - 20L @ 1.045.

Mon 22nd June (Day 6) - 1.020. Brett blend still working very slowly... Fantastic fruit taste but a little light on the acid.

Sunday 28th June (Day 12) - 1.014. Dry hopped with 4 g/L DH.

Sunday 5th July (Day 19) - 1.011. 4.5% ABV. pH = 3.3. Tastes very promising. Clean, tangy dry hopped sour.

Monday 6th July (Day 20) - Added gelatine to the keg (chilled over night in the keezer after purging oxygen) and connected CO2 line at 2 bar.

Notes: 6/13/15: Brew day for this one. Was originally going to be aged on cedar but we decided to keep it simpler here. In fact, simplicity is the name of the entire game with this: single-hopped with Amarillo and with a basic 50/30/20 ratio grist, it should end up being light in color, light-medium in body and with a tropical, floral and spicy aroma and flavor.

We are brewing a counterpart single gallon version of this with 100% rye malt and the same hop schedule apart from a hefty dose of dry-hopping (also Amarillo). Should be interesting to see how differently they come out.

6/20/15: Pulled a sample to take a reading a week after fermentation began and we seem to have nailed this beer! Perfectly hit our terminal gravity. Nose is vibrant with floral and juicy Amarillo hops but also possesses a strongly spicy rye edge. On the tongue, it's light bodied with bright and flavorful hops that finishes with a quenching and surprisingly-dry earthy and malty note. Very well balanced and eminently drinkable. Excited for this to be bottled and track its evolution!

9/4/15: FINALLY opening one to write about. This was probably one of our simplest brew days and easiest, fastest ferments so far. It's been conditioning for a long time and, though I've had a few bottles and we've split them and discussed them before, I feel that it's come into its own after a few months in the bottle. Color is brilliant golden-yellow and the beer presents with a sparse ring of foam on the collar that sticks around indefinitely. Hazy surface with small clustered bubbles and heavy opacity when held up to the light. The nose is spicy and funky in a way that only rye can be, but it also has some distinct floral and hoppy notes from the Amarillo single-hopping. Crushable, distinct and with a nice, smooth and rather full body. No off flavors and nothing crazy... just a well-rounded, flavorful rye beer made for simple times. We're proud of this one and will probably tweak the recipe and brew some variations, as it could definitely be a good blank slate for interesting/deviant ideas. -A
