Notes: 1. American Amber (Red) Ale with a sharp bite of citrusy hops.
2. American 2-row pale ale malt, American Crystal 60L and Victory malt rounds out the grain bill. Mash temperatures in the range of 152°F to 154°F create a wort with a nice balance of fermentable and non-fermentable sugars. Sorachi Ace hops add a uniquely lemony bitterness, homegrown Cascade hops add grapefruit flavor and Citra whole leave hops added during the cool down add unique aroma. Yeast: White Labs WLP001(California Ale).
3. Sword of Saint Peter is the first of 12 brews in the Twelve Apostles beer line. Each of the 12 brews are American Amber Ales. Experimentation with water profile, temperature variations including ambient temp., grain bill, hops varieties and yeast strains provide endless opportunity to evolve and improve this beer over the year.
4. Cascade hops Alpha Acid was age adjusted in this recipe since the details of storage and pick date are a known variable.
5. Yeast Lot # 1021675 Manufactured Nov. 23, 2015. QC cell count 1.49e9/ml |

30 gr. Cascade in primary.
NO CHILL
Primary Fermentation - The hops are missing as bitterness - add 1.5 kg.(+1.3-1.4% abv) brewing sugar in 5 l. of water and 15 g. of Cascade hops boil for 15 min. put in primary.
Dry hop with 15 g. cascade in secondary.
The expected abv is 6.5%.
American - Pale 2-Row is BG Malt.
German Wheat Malt is instead of flaked oats.
Third hop addition is after boil( in primary) there was a lack of bitterness so I added a bit. |

Notes: Made 1.5 quart starter. Pitched at 70 F, and moved to cold fermenting chamber at 54 F. Left in primary for 4 weeks, and moved to secondary.
This has become one of my favorites to make and to drink, and is beautifully simple. I've varied things up in several subsequent batches, and made this as an ale, used other grains, played with fermentation temperatures, etc. Overall, this is a great go-to, simple base recipe for Oktoberfest. (I plan to harvest some Saint Arnold's Oktoberfest yeast to try another go at an ale batch some time soon as well... Should be fun.) |

Notes: Lightbulb is a modern pale ale full of bright hop flavours and mind sweetness that rounds out the whole beer and makes it more substantial. At only 4.5% this beer would give most 7% IPAs a run for their money.
Yeast: Use half pack of S-04 and US05
Fermentation temperature/steps: Ferment at 18, then diacetyl rest at 22c.
If using oats with husks the quantity of oats will need to be adjusted to account for the husks (e.g. use 1.5kg oats with husks if the ratio is 50/50). |

Notes: **Batch 1**
This was a delicious fruit beer. I had a hard time locating real passionfruit, so I used a 100% juice blend. The label on the juice said it was 100% juice, but also had pear listed as an ingredient, so I'm not sure what the ratio of pear to passionfruit was. The mango had more presence than the passionfruit, probably because of the use of juice. Need to find real passionfruit for the next brew, or possibly use real pear.
*I found out later that commercial breweries use powdered passionfruit, which is available online. I'll try this for my next batch
Use 1lb fruit per gallon of beer. I pureed the mango and placed it in hop bags in the secondary. For my 5 gallons, it ended up being 6 diced mangos.
**Batch 2**
Used the same recipe, but tried using powdered passionfruit. I learned a few good lessons from this beer. The powder is surprisingly effective and when hydrated it smelled amazing. I added it at kegging which was a mistake. Next batch needs to be only powder without the fresh mangos. I'd like to try powdered passionfruit and powdered mango. The only drawback to this is that the powder is expensive. I used one pouch of passionfruit powder and it was $9 plus shipping. The biggest lesson I learned is that I need to stop using fruit juice. Its sugars are fermenting out to the point where I don't think it's adding much flavor and is really drying the beer out. Lots of changes to be made on the next batch.
**Batch 3**
Again I used the same recipe, but in keeping with the last few years I wanted to try and experiment with the best result of getting the fruit flavor into the beer.
In January I went to a local brewer's convention and met some people from Amoretti flavoring company. I tried their passionfruit and it was what I was looking for, so I bought a 25.4oz bottle of the puree. I used half of it while kegging, along with one pouch of the passionfruit powder I had leftover from last year. I skipped the mango altogether this year (I know, I know....)
I tasted the beer while I was checking my FG, and the powder that I added at knockout had only imparted a mild flavor in beer. It tasted slightly tangy, but not bad. The puree that I added at kegging really brought this beer to where I wanted it to be.
This beer is delicious, and finally fruity and light! Perfect summer beer! |
