Notes: Recipe changes:
Maris Otter subbed for American 2-row
Columbus used for bittering instead of Magnum
Galaxy used in the whirlpool instead of Cascade
WY1318 used instead of Chico yeast.

Friday 8th January 2016 - 1.6 L starter onto stirplate. WY1318 captured from blow off of last batch (6th generation).

Sunday 10th January 2016 - Added starter to keezer to settle yeast (decanted off 0.5 L for future use).

Sunday 10th January 2016 - Brewday. Heated 29L strike water to 69oC. Mashed in at 15:50. Mash temp = 64.5oC. Aiming for mash pH of 5.4 (adjusted with gypsum, CaCl2 and 80% lactic acid). Added 2/3 of lactic acid before mashing in.

Calibrated pH meter (had drifted by +0.06). Tap water pH = 7.75.

15 mins. Stirred the mash. Mash temp = 63.8oC. Mash pH = 5.45.

30 mins. Stirred the mash. Mash temp = 63oC. Mash pH = 5.40.

45 mins. Stirred the mash. Mash temp = 62.2oC. Turned on the induction plate. Mash pH = 5.41.

60 mins. Stirred the mash. Mash temp 63.7oC. pH = 5.40.

"Sparged" by pouring 4L of 55oC water (no water adjustment) over the grain bag whilst it drained and squeezing the bag.

Approx 28.5L of wort collected from the mash. Preboil gravity = 1.052.

Whirlpool 1. Cooled wort to 80oC and transferred 13L to a sanitised plastic bucket. Added hops to the kettle at 77oC. 69oC after 10 mins. 63oC after 30 mins. Stirred every 5-10 mins.

Whirlpool 2. Chilled in bucket to 51oC and added hops at 49oC. After 15 mins = 45oC. Stirred every 5-10 mins.

Chilled both batches using immersion chiller to about 30oC and then transferred to PET carboys. Left outside at -2oC (covered with foil) to reach pitching temp. Split the starter between each carboy (pitched at 18oC).

OG = 1.058. Post boil pH = 5.3. Each batch approx 12L.

Saturday 16th January (Day 7) - Crash chilled in fermentation fridge at -1oC. Ferm temp has been low on this one as fridge was busy with a lager so these beers were fermented at an ambient 15oC in our basement storage room.

Sunday 17th January 2017 (Day 8) - Kegged with gelatine (carboy to liquid outpost siphon into oxygen purged kegs). FG = 1.016. ABV = 5.5%.

Notes: From the Brewer's Best Recipe Sheet:

IBUs: 80 - 85
ABV: 5.5% - 6.0%
OG: 1.056 - 1.060
FG: 1.014 - 1.016
Color: Black

This American style Black IPA, also known as Cascadian Dark Ale, balances moderate roast character with medium-high hop bitterness. Briess Special Dark extract, Victory® and 80L provide a moderate degree of caramel malt character. The distinct citrus, grapefruit and slight pine characteristics of the hops complement
the roasted malt flavor and aroma of this Black IPA creating all the attributes you would expect in an American Style IPA.

Notes: First beer made using our newly-put-together HERMS system, the first major update we've made to our brewing equipment since starting in late 2013. For this one, we're doing a strong English style ale aged for (probably) 6 weeks in our Damnation Alley bourbon barrel.

3/15/15: Brew day for this one. Things are going somewhat strangely (lots of spilling water and some wort loss, but overall we've corrected everything well all things considered) given our lack of experience with the new system, and we don't have our PID controller to electronically control the temperatures, so we have been having to manually track temperatures and fire the burners on the stove at discretionary times to keep things going smoothly. The recirculation part is working very well so far. -AP

3-21-15: switched from blow-off assembly to airlock. Has been sitting at 70 degrees for one week, krausen has already died down. I don't think it's a stall -- just not a very aggressive ferm. Took a whiff of the carboy and everything smelled good; solid nose of english hops and maris otter (no shit, eh?). Looking forward to racking this into barrel next weekend. -PG

3/27/15: Just transferred to bourbon barrel. Hydrometer reading was a bit higher on FG than we wanted (only reached about 72% attenuation, finishing at 1.025 instead of the expected 1.022). Not really gonna complain because it still comes out almost 9.5%. The sample before conditioning and aging tasted really good, but pretty mild. Very genuine "British" style strong ale flavor; subtle caramel/toffee with some slight fruity esters; rather dry though it leads off sweet. No heat from the rather high alcohol either, which was nice. Extended barrel-aging (six weeks at minimum for this one) should make this one awesome. -AP

5/10/15: Just took this from barrel to bottles last night. Conditioning with a slurry of the same a yeast used for primary (WLP007). Tasted really good from the small sample we pulled from the barrel; slightly fruity, very woody and bourbon forward with a long, dry yet full-bodied finish. Excited to see how it conditions in several weeks.

5/29/15: Tasting from a bottle that was opened 5/27 and re-sealed with about half of the beer remaining. It's been in bottles about 3 weeks at this point and it actually has, according to Pat, already carbonated pretty decently. The several ounces I pulled were slightly oxidized because the bottle had been re-sealed, however. Scent is hefty English toffee, light stone fruit (cherry/plum in particular) and bourbon. The spirit character is nicely noticeable, likely due to the six weeks of aging the beer underwent in our Damnation Alley barrel. Flavor is pretty incredible actually; I'm getting a lot of tannic notes from the barrel, slight tart cherry, bourbon, caramel and the aforementioned toffee all in a really complex yet approachable package. Very excited with how this one continues to develop. It's pretty perfect right now; almost exactly what I feel like we wanted to get out of it. Very cool. -AP

Notes: Multi-step infusion; more work than I like, missed the 158 target, over corrected to 159... which increased pre-boil volume to 12.5 gallons and pushed boil out to 90 minutes to get to post-boil volume.
2 weeks in primary, 4 weeks in secondary @ 55 degrees. FG 1.012
