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: Need to fine tune this one a bit more. Prolly will have room in the kegerator but will a 6.5 even fit in there? Might have to reduce the size of the batch a bit. Also, decoction mash might be necessary?

Notes: Immerse the oak cubes in a bourbon of your choice and set aside while the beer is in primary. When primary is finished, put the cubes in your secondary vessel and rack on top. Let sit for at least a month, and then sample every few weeks until the oak flavor is to your liking. Now prepare the vanilla beans.

Cut the vanilla beans into one-inch long pieces and cut in half lengthwise. Scrape out the gunk inside and discard. Soak the beans in bourbon for a day or so to sanitize. Add to the secondary and let sit for two weeks, then bottle or keg.

This beer really benefits from long-term bottle-conditioning. Immediate tastings were positive, but six-month old bottles were outstanding. Time really allows the flavors to meld with the vanilla.

Notes: An IPA with primarily Galaxy hops (citrus, peach, passion fruit), backed up by some El Dorado (tropical fruit, pear, watermelon, citrus). Simple light LME base, with 4% vienna malt steeped to add a touch more malt flavour to offset the hops. No crystal or caramel malt, to allow the hops to shine through. Almost all hopes added 10 minutes, whirplool or dry hopped.

Notes: Notes: Would not use wheat malt again, this left a haze I didn't appreciate and made it fall out of a guideline that I feel isn't a Kolsch.

Tasting Notes - 10-27-2014 - This is still a very young beer right now. Getting the banana/isoamyl acetate flavor off the head of the beer and only slightly off the palate. I used boifine on this to help clear it up will see how it works, as of now there is a haze. Very clean hops flavor and very light. Seems like a few tweaks and this is football season drinking beer.

More notes 2 days later; A few days drinking this I am getting grapefruit and fruit notes.

Notes: Will decide dry hopping hops and amounts once the beer is tasted in the secondary.

45 min hop stand

Will dry hop with 3 oz of Nelson and 3 oz of Rakau. Hop aroma so far is magnificent.
