Notes: Used as guide: Old Rasputin Clone recipe found at https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/north-coast-old-rasputin-clone/
(10-6-2017) Activate smack-pack yeast ~3hr. Add yeast to cooled starter culture media (~iL water + 0.25 lb brown sugar + 0.25 DME; boiled and simmered 30min) in sterile 4L flask. Had ~7hr growth with occasional swirling before addition to cooled wort.
Steep grains at 66C for 30min, sparge with 77C water. Add Briess Golden Light DME (10.25 LB), bring to boil, add hops and gypsum at appropriate times. Cool wort, add to primary with remaining water, aerate, add yeast, and check with refractometer. Use one beer.net to convert Brix to OG.
Brix=17.5
OG=1.073 (lower than expected) =volume is may be closer to 6 gal than 5.5. Also not as black as I was shooting for. Next time don't steep in grain bag.
(10-11-17) Transfer to secondary. Brix = 11.8
(11-6-17) Brix =11.8 still. FG @ 1.031. ABV 5.5%. Fermentation stalled or original Brix not accurate due to insufficient mixing wort and remaining water. If OG was 1.087 (Brix of 20.6), then FG=1.023 and 8.4% ABV.
Bottled with ~1/2c corn sugar. Not enough room in carboy to fit all sugar solution I had planned (3/4c).
(1/14/18) ~9 weeks after bottling, it is now nicely carbonated with tan head. |

Notes: Opted for a light ginger forward summer ale using WLP 001. Fermentation aggressive for 72 hours at 73 degrees. Ginger is not overpowering but subtle enough to taste the spice. Taste test post fermentation and add remaining ginger in hop sack until desired taste attained. |

Notes: Rehydrated yeast but pitched hot (90f or so) as I did not have time to cool the wort as the yeast was already hydrated.
Straight into a swamp cooler to try and bring the temps down.
Fermented for 2 weeks in the mid 60s.
Overcarbonated resulting in harsh bitterness but this gets better all the time. After 2.5 weeks in the keg this is delicious |
