Notes: 1. Fill your kettle with 3 gallons of water and turn on heat
2. When the water is hot, before it boils, carefully add your Dry Malt Extract (DME), stirring to avoid clumps. You liquid in your kettle is now wort (malt liquid).
3. Bring your wort to a boil
4. When the wort is at full boil, add 1oz Willamette hops to the boil and start a 60 minute timer
5. After 45 minutes, with 15 minutes remaining, add 1oz Willamette hops to the boil
6. Finish boiling for the remaining 15 minutes.
7. Turn off heat. Cool wort by placing kettle in an ice bath in your sink.
8. When it reaches about room temperature, rack your wort into your fermentation vessel.
9. Top off the your fermentation vessel with cool water to reach 5 gallons of wort.
10. Use your hydrometer to find your original gravity and record
11. Pitch your yeast and place airlock (and lid) on your fermentation vessel.
12. When visible signs of fermentation have disappeared for several days, at least 14 days, rack your beer into your bottling bucket.
13. Add 5 oz priming sugar to 1 cup water and bring to a simmer. Allow to cool some, then add to bottling bucket. Stir gently with sanitized bottling wand.
14. Fill bottles and cap.
15. Store bottles at room temperature for 14 days.
16. Refrigerate overnight
17. Enjoy!!!

Notes: On the day I got grains from Windsor, my preferred yeast (WLP500) was not available, so another “Switch” was made. I chose WLP550 Belgian Ale Yeast.
A fellow home brewer suggested using some Special B malt in place of some of the Crystal 80 to bring out some raisiny character. This version drops Crystal 80 to 4 ounces (from 6), while adding in 2 ounces of Special B.
Another alteration is the hops. Added a couple grams of Warrior to Celeia for 60 minute bittering, and subbed Hersbrucker at 15 and 5 for flavor and aroma, dropping Cascade and Northern Brewer.

Since I switched out 1/2 of Maris Otter for an equal amount of Belgian Pilsner, I opted to do a 90 minute boil.
Another switch from original recipe is to drop Amber malt below 20% of grain bill, and to use American Crystal 80 in place of UK Crystal 90.
Late Addition sugar (Belgian Candi Syrup D-45 Amber) is added at the 10 minutes to go mark. Stirred in very well to avoid it sticking to the kettle. Better still dissolve the sugar in some of the wort before adding to the kettle.

Notes: Extract Kit for a kettle sour base. Style aligns with Berliner Weisse but is too high alcohol to be naturally considered one. Great base for kettle sours brewed to be fruited/spiced later.

Step 1: Add 3 gallons of Non-chlorinated water to kettle. Bring heat of water to 165F. At 165, add muslin bag full of steeping grains to water and shut off heat.

Step 2: Allow steeping bag to diffuse for 30 minutes, bobbing gently. After 30 minutes has passed, discard steeping grains and muslin bag. Remove kettle from burner.

Step 3: Stir in malt extracts. Be sure to fully diffuse malt extract into wort, otherwise scorching may occur when heat is reapplied. Once malt extract is fully dissolved, return kettle to burner.

Step 4: Reapply heat to kettle, bringing kettle to rolling boil.

NOTE: this is where the recipe will deviate from standard extract recipes. Please be aware of changes to methodology.

Step 5: Boil wort for 15 minutes. DO NOT add any hops.

Step 6: After 15 minutes has passed, cut heat to kettle and cool to 100F. Leave wort in kettle, do not transfer to fermenter.

(Optional, Recommended): Pre-acidify wort to 4.5pH. Can be done using small amounts of lactic or phosphoric acid sold at local homebrew store. Can use pH meter or strips, meter recommended.
(Optional, Recommended): Purge oxygen out of wort by running CO2 from CO2 tank through wort for a couple minutes. Prevents unwanted microbes from growing.

Step 7: Add vial of Lactobacillus or shot of GoodBelly probiotics to wort. Place lid on kettle & wrap kettle around lid with kitchen stretch-wrap to create air-tight seal in kettle.

Step 8: Allow kettle to sit in warm area of house for 48 to 72 hours. (Optional, Recommended: check pH of wort with pH meter or strips. pH should get to ~3.5pH)

Step 9: Once 48-72 hours has passed, remove stretch wrap and lid from kettle (wort will smell very funky, may show pellicle). Return kettle to burner. Heat back to boil.

Step 10: Once boil has begun, allow 15 minutes to pass. Once 15 minutes has passed, 1oz of Tettnanger (or whichever hop/hop amounts desired).

Step 11: Allow boil to continue for 55 minutes. With 5 minutes remaining, add tsp of Irish Moss (optional). Once boil has ran for a total of 75 minutes, shut off heat.

Step 12: Cool wort to 80F using ice-bath or wort chiller. Add non-chlorinated cold water to hit 5 gallons of post-boil volume (can be done before chilling if your kettle is large enough.

All lactobacillus has been boiled off; the wort is now safe to go into your fermenter.

(Optional, Recommended): Steal small sample of wort to check gravity using hydrometer.

Step 13: Transfer to fermenter, aerate by splashing wort or carefully shaking fermenter.

Allow to ferment as normal, bottle when beer hits final gravity.

Notes: Mashed steeping grain at 158º F for 50 minutes, Sparged with 1 quart 175º water.

Pre-Boil volume was 3 gallons.

1/2 pound of LME was added to the start of boil. The remainder of the LME & DME was added at 60 minutes into the boil. Fermentables were boiled 10 minutes to sterilize for a total boil time of 70 minutes.

Yeast was re-hydrated and pitched when into 80º wort. Wort was aerated for 15 minutes using aquarium pump, HEPA filter and 5 micron stone.

Fermentation bucket was placed in 68º room at 1:30 PM. Bubbles were flowing trough air-lock at 3:15 PM

Notes: Instructions:

Boiled 14 litres of water.

Took out around 3 litres of water at 65c - used this for steeping the aromatic grains - for 30 minutes - brew in a bag

On rolling boil - added 2 Kg of DME + Solution of brew in a bag - extracted solution

Wait for reaching rolling boil again and then started one hour counter

1) Added 28 gm - Brewers gold - @ 45 min remaining
2) Added 12 gm - cascade - @ 15 min remaining
3) Added half whirlock tab with 5 min remaining

Prepared sink with ice and water. Placed vessel into the sink, Tried cooling. Took more than 30 min to cool down.

Syphoned the wort into the ferementer @ around 45 degree - could not wait longer - hoping the syphoning will reduce the temperatures quicker.

Pitched the yeast in
Gave it a good shake, bottled up and placed air lock

Placed in a bucket of water for maintaining ambient temperatures.
Keep replenishing ice when ever possible
Possibly getting around 22 to 25 ambient average temperatures.
