Notes: Basic Hefe. Hops are old. going over the ibu because of this.
Whitelabs Hefe Ale yeast.
Single step BIAB mash at 154.
Grains at 67f
1.5qt/lb strike volume of 9qt @ 167f.
3.9qt boiling water for mashout at 170f.
Brew notes.
-Nailed rest temp @ 154. Resting for one hour. Stirring at 30min. Adding boiling water if temp drops below 150.
- I watched it the first 5-10 minutes and the temp held. I checked it around 30 minutes and the heat was around 156. A good stir brought it back down. Smells pretty good. Very wheaty. That's the plan I guess. Frasiskaner clone next time (didn't have the yeast recommended this time).
- Digital temp probe took a shit at some point. Still think my numbers were good after checking with other thermometer.
- Way low efficiency. Rinsed grains more (Fuck BIAB). Lots of extra water. Going to boil a little while prior to adding hops and starting timer.
-Cooled, pitched yeast. Put in my basement at unknown temp (has been holding the same as my heater 68, I put it closer to the door to hopefully hit 65.)
-24 hours later no visible fermentation (the s airlock has the water pushed to one side though). Moved it deeper into my basement and gave it shake.
-48hr Put my thermometer aside of the carboy, read 60. Moved it closer to the heater, it brought it up to about 65
-62 hr brought it upstairs to around 68.
-chillin for a while.
-It is now Christmas Eve (2016). I forget when I brewed this(Im thinking around 2 weeks), I never noted it. I will figure it out at some point.
I just checked the gravity. I came down to 1011. It tasted good. A fairly good balance of esters. It had a slight sour note which was great. I am tempted to bottle some and play with the rest. I have an American Farmhouse from white labs. Might like to try some fruit. just not sure. Will report back.
- New years eve I bottled one gallon, and put ~1 1/2 gallons in 1 gallon glass jugs.
-one jug has a full gallon and the other less than half. I pitched 90% of the culture into the full gallon by accident and only a little in smaller one. That leaves me with a heavy overpitch and a slight underpitch im guessing. tasting in one month. Will probably blend them together at some point.
-2/18 - Overpitch has gotten quite a bit darker. Underpitch got lighter maybe. Both very clear. overpitch came down to 10.06 and underpitch was at 10.07. It was hard to discern much difference between the two otherwise. I used the underpitch to top off the gallon jug of the overpitch (I needed to free up that jug). Will allow to sit another few months before checking it out. |

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. |
