Notes: Brewed on April 3rd, 2022 via the BIAB Method

Shooting for a light, crushable lawnmower beer.

Using Lutra Kveik yeast by Omega Labs and will ferment at ~95F.

Strike volume = 8.5 gallons at 154F to reach mash temp = 150F.

Mash time = 60 minutes

Final vol = 6 gallons

SG = 5.4 brix = 1.021 g/L
OG = 7.7 brix = 1.0306 g/L
Final gravity = 3.4 Brix = 1.003 g/L

Kegged on 4/14/2022

recipe: Snark Lord kit from Great Fermentations. This version is a modification of the GF kit based on my side by side comparison of 8 month keg aged GF kit and Dark Lord 2017
----------------------
Starter
WLP001 and WLP002: separate 1.5L starters 30 hrs before anticipated yeast pitch

Water chemistry / mash notes:
1/2 total minerals added to each strike. 2.5 mL LA into strike water mash #1 and ??2.0 mL??? LA for mash #2.
Acidify each 1.5 gal sparge with 0.1 mL lactic acid 88%.
Reiterated mash with split pale malts at 157F (pale, munich, flaked oats, flaked barley). Mash cap with 1/2 dark/roast malts after each mash.
Pale/flaked = 24.0 lbs
Roast/dark = 5.5 lbs
Sugars = 2.0 jaggery
Total = 31.5 lbs
Mash #1 = 2.5 mL of LA. 12.0 lbs pale/flaked into 5.9 gallons x 60-90 min. Mash cap with 2.5 lbs dark/roast malts x 20-30 min. After mash, sparge with ~1.5 gal to achieve a volume of 6.0 gal for 2nd mash.
Mash #2 = Measure pH! Adjust with LA or baking soda to pH of 5.4. 12.0 lbs pale/flaked into 6.0 gallons. Mash for 60-90 min or until SG stabilizes. Mash cap with remaining 3.0 lbs dark/roast/crystal malts for 20-30 min. Sparge with ~1.8 gal to hit 6.5 gal pre-boil volume

Boil notes:
Jaggery at 20 minutes left in boil
Add 1 oz coarsely ground coffee beans, cocao nibs, and 2 cut/scraped vanilla beans in bag at 5 min from end of boil, steep for 5 minutes after flame out, then remove.

Fermentation:
Make 1.5 L starters for each yeast 30 hrs in advance.
Brew day morning - chill in fridge, decant wort to 500 mL each
Chill to 65F, pitch yeast slurry x 2
Ferment at 66F x 7-10 days (favors WLP002) then raise to 70F over 3 days (favors WLP001), complete fermentation an additional 5-7 days at 70F (favors WLP001 for attenuation).

Once at FG, cold crash x 24 hours.

Dry beaning:
After fermentation complete and yeast crashed, add 2 oz Sumatra whole beans beans (in bag) to primary for 12-48 hours (taste every 12 hrs). Remove coffee and cold crash x 48 hrs.

Clarification:
After coffee removed from primary and cold crashed x 48 hours, add gelatin followed by additional 48 hrs chilling.

Packaging/clarification part 2:
Make tincture of 1 vanilla bean 5-7 days in advance
Once kegged, add 5 mL Biofine clear through gas port and vanilla bean tincture through lid opening. Quickly seal and CO2 purge headspace.
Seal and keg condition x 6 months before sampling

Notes: This is a first attempt at a Brown Ale. I am aiming at malt complexity with this malt forward ale. So, I have deliberately kept the hops simple and low.

Yeast is rehydrated at 30c for 10-15 mins before pitching.

Sampled at 10 days gravity was 1.024. At three weeks it was 1.022. I bottled it. Samples tasted good with no diacetyl. One more week to proper tasting. Expecting this to improve greatly with age.

After two weeks in the bottle this tastes great. It is very similar to a 'Ruby Ale' that is sold in Aldi supermarkets called 'Medusa'. Very happy with it. I think the high FG is related to higher than planned for mashing temps with new equipment.

Tasting notes 18/02/2019. Wow. This is fantastic. I tried a bottle of Mann's Brown Ale last week, which was a lot weaker and nowhere near as tasty...but there were similarities. So, I'd call this a London-style brown ale. Mann's was a lot closer than the previously mentioned Medusa ale.

With age this turned out to be spectacular. I got into brewing my own beer because I was drawn to the challenge of brewing beer as good as you can buy in the pub. Well, this ale proved this beyond doubt. I tried a few pints in a famous pub chain and I honestly could not say mine was worse. Some were very, very similar.
