Notes: Note, if using this recipe, that the mash/sparge volumes accommodate about 1/2 gallon of cherry puree added at the end of primary fermentation. My target was to keg 5 gallons.
Add cocoa powder at flameout. A little worried about 8 oz of cocoa, may add 1/2, test and add more if needed, just in case.
Update here, added all 8oz @ whirlpool. It seemed like all the cocoa dissolved, but after the kettle drain the trub cone was very chocolatey. I added another maybe 1oz or so directly into the fermenter. Just in case.
Adding yeast directly onto wort, might rehydrate one pack and sprinkle the other. Rehydrated both packs of yeast because my fermenter volume was a little low, so rehydrated in 1/2L of H20.
Plan to ferment somewhere in the low 60s. Started at 62.
Add cherry purée as primary fermentation ending. Adding the cherry brought the gravity from 1.014 back up to 1.027, and then very quickly started fermenting back down.
The ABV on this is closer to like 5.2-5.8% (depending on the sugar in the cherry purée used). The recipe builder doesn’t calculate it because it’s a fermenter addition.
As I was kegging this up from the fermenter, about the last 1/2 gallon, or top 1/2 inch, was just sludge. I only ended up getting about 4.5 gallons into the keg to try to avoid getting most of the sludge in the keg. I guess next time I would add another 1/2 gallon of volume overall to yield closer to 5 gallons in the end.
Brewing this for local beer club Dec competition. |

Notes: This is an attempt at a historic London brown ale for a local brew club competition.
Using my local tap water profile, and adjusting to the ‘London’ profile result in the gypsum/chalk/baking soda additions. These would vary for other water profiles.
Going with dry yeast because I had to order too far prior to brewing this for a liquid yeast to work.
Mash for 90. Infusions listed are to accommodate temp loss in my MLT. Start mash at ~1.15 qts/lb, end at ~1.7 qts/lb
Boil for 90. Expect about 1.5 gallons of boil off for my equipment.
Used a small 1L starter with the yeast to ensure good pitch rate.
Target fermentation around 65-66F.

Mash grains and rice hulls (if using) at 122° F (50° C) and allow to rest 20 minutes for a protein rest. Pull 9 qt. (8.5 L) thick mash and slowly heat to bring to a boil over 20 minutes. Boil 15 minutes, and then blend into main mash. Adjust main mash temperature to 150° F (66° C) if necessary and hold 30 minutes. Mash out at 168° F (76° C). Sparge at 168° F (76° C).
Bring full wort volume to a boil; boil 90 minutes adding hops at stated intervals. Chill to 64° F (18° C) and oxygenate. Decant and pitch 64° F (18° C) yeast starter. Fit fermenter with blow-off device or allow at least 5 gal. (18.9 L) of headspace and/or use Fermcap to control foaming. Ferment at 64° F (18° C) until terminal gravity is reached. Rack, bottle with 1 cup (237 mL) dextrose or the appropriate amount of gyle, and warm condition bottles at 70–74° F (21–23° C) for one week. When full carbonation has been reached, store at cellar temperatures for at least one month.

| Notes: Going for a complex Irish stout. Hopefully the caramel malts will add some sweetness, body and flavour complexity along with the Irish ale yeast and the Columbus hops. First time using caramel malts, this yeast and Columbus hops. |

Notes: 90:10 German Beer rule idea: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=24627.msg325294#msg325294
Diacetyl test: https://beerandbrewing.com/make-your-best-helles/
From kai (http://braukaiser.com/wiki/index.php/Edel_Hell):
Propagate about 5 - 6 gram of dense sediment for every liter of wort that will be pitched. This will result in a pitching rate of about 25 Million cells per ml.
(18 l pitched wort will require about 100 g dense yeast sediment)
If this beer is brewed with lactic acid additions to both mash and boil, the pre-boil pH should be lowered to 5.3 - 5.4 through the use of lactic acid. I used about 0.08 ml 88% lactic acid per liter of pre-boil wort (2 ml for a pre boil volume of 25 l) which dropped the pH from 5.55 to 5.35. A lower boil pH softens the bitterness that is extracted from the hops.
Add hops after 10 min boil and boil for another 60 min. The total evaporation should be kept to 10 - 15% of the pre-boil volume. Chill to pitching temperature of 6 *C (43 *F). Aerate wort well to reach an oxygen level of 10 - 12 mg/l. In a 18 l batch this requires 90s pure O2 through a sintered stone for me.
Take a sample of wort for a Fast Ferment Test. This is very important for monitoring the fermentation.
Allow the beer temperature to rise to 8 C (46-47 F) and let the beer ferment at this temperature for 10 to 14 days. Transfer the beer to a lagering vessel while carrying over some yeast. Raise the temperature to 20 - 22 C (68 - 72 F) for 3-5 days for a maturation rest or until its attenuation is within 1 - 2 % of the attenuation limit determined by the fast ferment test.
Cool the beer to a cold conditioning temperature of 0 C (32 F) and hold it there for 4 - 6 weeks before transfering it to a serving keg or filling it into bottles. The cold conditioning time, if done in cornelius kegs, can also be used to carbonate the beer if that has not already been done during the maturation rest. If the beer is going to be bottle conditioned fresh yeast should be added. |
