Notes: 12/29/20 chopped up the cranberries and mixed with honey, added Sodium Bisulfite and sorbate. 15 pounds cran. and 18 pounds honey, I altered above to match my OG reading.
12/30/20 Added two packs of Red Star Cote Des Blancs yeast stirred in then added Pectic Enzyme 1 ½ tsps. at 1/10 teaspoon per pound of fruit. Set up in brewroom at 60° in big blue tub with blow-off tube.
12/31/20 added 2nd Nutrient and ½gallon water.
Actual OG 1.129

Staggered Nutrient Additions (SNA): One teaspoon of Fermaid-K and two teaspoons DAP should be adequate for a 5 gallon batch. Mix them together for a stock blend and add them using the following schedule:
- Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix immediately after pitching yeast.
- Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix 24 hours after fermentation begins.
- Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix 48 hours after fermentation begins.
- Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix after 30% of the sugar has been depleted (usually 72 hours).
1/5/21 added 2½ teaspoons of yeast energizer
1/7/21 saw signs of yeast working
1/28/21 Gravity 1.021 Removed Cranberries squeezed the bag had almost 6 gallons left. Move mead to garage to drop particles.

Creation Date: 6/23/2019 12:19 AM

Notes: Bring 7 gallons of distilled water to 158F, then add BIAB bag.
Mash in grains, hold at 150F for 1 hour. pH = 5.4 @ 75F after 15 mins.
After 1 hour, increase to 168F over 20 mins, then lift bag and let drain.
Transfer bag to food-grade bucket and pour 1.5 gal of room temp distilled water over grains and allow to soak for 10 mins. Stir a bit, then lift bag and squeeze.
Add runoff from rinsed grains to kettle. Should now be 8 gal.
Bring to boil and add hops as indicated.
Add corn sugar and yeast nutrient with about 30 mins left in boil.
After boil end, add whirlpool hops when temps are 170F and circulate for 20-30 mins.
Cool to to 65F, then stop whirlpool, let settle for at least 30 mins.
Transfer to fermenter (approx. 5.5 gallons). Pitch yeast.
Ferment 2-3 days at 65F then allow to reach 68F over the rest of the fermentation period.
After 10 days, add dry hops.
Three to four days later (13-14 days in fermenter), cold crash for 1-2 days then rack to keg.

Notes: 2017 version of the 2015/2016 recipe.

changes :
* gonna do a mini mash for the specialty malts and change out the 2row for extract
* i have a bunch of pilsen extract that was planned for pilsner and belgian but i think i want to do AG for those so i will use the pilsen extract here
* swapping out half the citra for mosaic
* gonna do a 30 minute boil only, just use warrior in bittering
* adding some wheat to this. considered taking out some of the vienna but i think it will be ok for graininess and color

other notes :
* the high high IBU is alarming but if you change the whirlpool additions to flameout i bet it would go down

for mini mash procedure im starting with this :

Notes: Adding 1 oz fresh grapefruit zest to boil for 30 mins
OG measured 1.10

Took gravity reading on 3/21 - 1.032 - bitter hops and grapefruit shined.
Added 1lb 10 oz of orange blossom honey on 3/23 - hoping to mellow bitterness and tame grapefruit

Color seemed a little brown at bottling.
Bottled a little over one gallon: 6 bottles with 2:1 ratio of vanilla extract and natural orange flavor

Kegged 3 gal without any additions
Kegged 3 gal with roughly 2.5:1 vanilla extract and natural orange flavor.

Primed to hit 3.5 vol of co2

Notes: Hit OG of 1007; FG was 1002. Colour was very dark (perhaps too dark).

Left it in the fermenter for a week - was somewhat worried I might get an infection given the ABV is so low, but doesn't seem to have happened.

If you re-brew, I recommend reducing the IBU. It is too bitter for the low ABV.

Notes: - Based off of this recipe: https://mrsmallbatchbrewer.com/berliner-weisse-kettle-sour-recipe/
- Hops are the biggest deviation, using the Sorachi Ace we had on hand. They're substantially higher in alpha acids, so used a lesser amount, and later.

- For the lacto, I ordered this: https://smile.amazon.com/Vitamatic-Lactobacillus-Plantarum-Digestive-Prebiotic/dp/B0CJQLC9P5/
- L. plantarum seems a popular, fast-souring variety of lactobacillus.
- Pitch rate from here:
https://www.milkthefunk.com/wiki/Lactobacillus#Starters_and_Pitching_Rate
- Species comparison here (though it lacked l. acidophilus, a seemingly popular probiotic varierty we could get even cheaper):
https://byo.com/article/brewing-with-lactobacillus/
- Those caps have a second ingredient, "Inulin", but it's just a prebiotic starch, to promote bacterial growth, something that's present in wheat anyways, so it won't hurt or help our use case:
https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1048/inulin

- We used the 15 gal. sparge kettle for this batch, not the 20 gal. one, to limit the area we needed to insulate.

- We cooled the wort, after the first boil, down to ~97 F. and set the heatstick+inkbird combo to 95 F. Lots of stirring was required to keep the whole thing at an even-ish temperature as we cooled it.

- We did turn out to have some 88% lactic acid from one batch of 2nd-hand brew supplies, so we decided to attempt to adjust the PH down to 4.5 before pitching the lacto as the copied recipe recommended.
- To calculate that, we used the "Kettle pH" tab of this helpful spreadsheet: https://mashmadeeasy.yolasite.com/
- It's not _perfect_ for our purpose, so, when it told us to add ~23 ml., we started with 15 ml., which took us from a measured PH of 5.69 to 4.9, which we called good enough.

- We then Starsan'ed the lid (which was _way_ too much in the way during boiling, cooling, etc.) and rested it as best we could covering the kettle, sealing the gaps left because of various cords with foil.
- With it mostly sealed, we then applied some CO2, to hopefully blanket the wort and keep aerobic species out. Not sure how much that did, though, given the limited headspace between wort and the top of this kettle.
- That was then followed with wrapping the kettle, still on the stove, with a new, clean moving blanket.

- We wrapped that up around 9:45 PM.
