Notes: # Notes

## Water Chemistry

2:1 Chloride to Sulfate ratio

This was with RO from the first brew
7.5g Gypsum
50g CaCl
20g MgSO4
5g NaCl
8ml Lactic Acid in the mash

## Mash

Aim for 68c for a little more body, it's going to hop creep and drop so we want to start higher.

## Boil

No hops until the last 10 minutes.

## Whirlpool

Drop to 70c. Pretty important to be on target here, higher will increase IBUs which we don't want, lower may impact pasteurization of the big whirlpool hop charge. Should be okay, as it's a long whirlpool, but better to be safe.

Add 8ml lactic acid for the whirlpool, to minimize vegetal flavor from the whirlpool hop addition.

Run for 30 mins to 1 hr, just because that's what we did when we first brewed this beer.

## Fermenter

Don't forget the hop dropper.

Use London Ale III. 3x packs, or less and a starter.

Carb stone and oxygen would be a good idea. Oxygen at pitch, and 12-24 hours later.

## Dry hop

First round of dry hopping 2 or 3 days after pitching, high krausen biotransformation charge, also to encourage hop creep early.

## Fermentation

### Temperature

18c initially, up to 21 over a week. Start pressure fermenting when activity reduces, likely day 4 / 5.

### Cold Crash

Cold crash and dump when no Diacetyl is detected, generally day 14/15, wouldn't bother starting to check before day 12.

### Dry Hop 2

After cold crash/dump, raise the temp back to 16c or so. Add the final dry hop charge when it's back up to temp, and leave for 1 or 2 days, before cold crashing again.

### Cold Crash 2

Should be around day 17/18 now, cold crash for 24 hours, and then dump again. Leave for 24 hours, dump once more, and then package a few hours later.

Total time from brew day to packaging ~21 days.

## Initial Investigation: Hazy Research

### Reddit comment:

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBrewery/comments/b4e2vz/possible_dry_yeast_options_for_hazy_ipas/

In my experience, acidifying prior to adding whirlpool hops, using 1-1.5 lb/bbl in the whirlpool, and dry hopping with 3lb/bbl minimum will get you haze that never clears.

And that is without dry hopping during fermentation.

Dry hop during fermentation at that rate and your haze will turn into a milkier haze with the added biotransformation component.

Using higher percentages of oats has been proven to encourage haze to drop clear.

However, I've used 10-30% oats and did not notice a difference in appearance.

Certain yeasts can promote more haze than others but softness and flavor profile have always won over haze production for me.

## Malt:
2Row, Oats, Wheat and stuff.
https://blog.averybrewing.com/why-arent-our-ipas-crazy-hazy-47df540562fc
Note here about how oats and wheat could affect haze stability, encouraging fall out earlier.

http://brulosophy.com/2016/11/21/the-impact-of-flaked-oats-on-new-england-ipa-exbeeriment-results/
Note here about no effect of oats on anything but colour

## Yeast:

Supposedly yeast has, or should have nothing to do with the haze. But a fruitiness (stonefruit) from the yeast could be beneficial.

Dry.. s04?
Wyeast 1318 London III

https://beerandbrewing.com/finding-the-right-yeast-to-create-hazy-ipas/
-> These lads say juice is better for pressure & early hopping, London for hopping later during fermentation
Imperial Organic Yeast A38 Juice -> would need O2 system.

http://brulosophy.com/2017/02/09/brudragon-collaboration-2-wyeast-1318-london-ale-iii-vs-gigayeast-gy054-vermont-ale-conan-in-neipa-exbeeriment-results/
No difference, london stayed hazy apparently.

## Hops

stone fruit, melon, soft juicy..

El dorado, galaxy? Loral - stone fruit? I always get melon from simcoe...

Mosaic, El Dorado, Galaxy, Simcoe, Loral?

Definitely El Dorado, Galaxy, Mosaic.

Looking like a massive amount of hops... :/

20ish oz in xpa

9 - 10oz I see in a 5G recipe

S0: 27 - 30oz total.

1lb of El Doradao
1lb of Galaxy
1lb of Mosaic

## Schedule for hoppiness/haziness

Biotranformation is a thing?
https://www.lallemandbrewing.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/LAL-bestpractices-Biotransformation-digital-1.pdf

http://brulosophy.com/2017/01/23/biotransformation-vs-standard-dry-hop-exbeeriment-results/
Noted no significance in biotransformation as far as taste, but it did add haze...

http://brulosophy.com/2018/04/30/the-impact-of-various-fining-methods-on-new-england-ipa-exbeeriment-results/
Still hazed, even with finings. Seeing el dorado hops a lot

http://brulosophy.com/2019/06/10/the-impact-wheat-malt-protein-content-has-on-new-england-ipa-exbeeriment-results/
Wheat for haze: no.

## PH
Drop to less than 5 before whirlpool

## Salts
400ppm chloride?

# Raw notes from first brew

10:20:

Started heating the HLT. 28.5 gallons, or 107 litres of RO water.
Bringing up to 76c, wanna try mash hotter (at least 68c) for body.
Not sure if it'll have any effect other than more hop creep, as the hotter mash will be forming more dextrins that will probably break down anyway.

10:30:
Added 2x Metabisulfite, started working out water chemistry

11:11
Salts worked out and added.
2:1 Chloride to Sulfate ratio.

7.5g Gypsum

Notes: 2017:
Mash temp was 154º.
Boil was 90 minutes.
Spread one can of 100% pumpkin onto a pan lined with tin foil and baked for an hour at 350º.
Added 3 teaspoons of McCormick's pumpkin spice and half the baked pumpkin to the boil at knockout. Forgot to add the half pound of brown sugar. Cooled wort to 10º above pitching temp, and racked to primary. Left for a few hours, and pitched yeast when I got home.

Yeast used was Lallemand London ESB dry yeast.

Fermentation in the closet between 75-73º.
Fermentation began within a few hours of pitching yeast. 12 hours into pitching, fermentation was so strong I couldn't keep a stopper and blowoff tube on the fermenter.
By 48 hours, it appears that all fermentation has stopped, which is normal for this brand of yeast. It's best to add sugar to the kettle with this strain, which I forgot to do, so I'm hoping that it comes out okay.

Taste:
It tastes great! I'd like to tweak the recipe for 2018. Here's the feedback I've gotten so far: One friend said that it's the first pumpkin ale he's had where he can actually taste the pumpkin. It's a bit on the vegetabley side. Another friend said it's got a slight bit of a cider thing going on. My opinion is that it needs less pumpkin, and more body. Need to change the malt bill a little bit. Also I should consider sweetening it with a small amount of sugar in the keg before cold crashing.
Overall I'm happy with it. Friends enjoyed it and were coming back for seconds. I'm definitely in the ballpark with this one, but I'd like to continue to tweak the recipe.

Note: Add flaked oats next time. It needs more body

******************2018********************
By far the best Pumpkilla! yet. Nearly exactly what I wanted it to be. perfectly balanced, a good amount of sweetness, and a delicious taste with just the right amount of spices. The color was exactly what I think a pumpkin beer should look like.
This year, I changed the grain bill, the spices, and the pumpkin. The grain bill is as above. For the spices used 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice that I got from a spice store in Sarasota while I was on vacation. Spice was added at knockout. Their website is: www.spiceandtea.com. In the interest of time, I thought this to be a good compromise between using McCormick's and making your own, and it worked out very well.
Instead of using canned pumpkin, this year I took a butternut squash and peeled it, cubed it, and drizzled it in molasses before baking it in the oven for an hour at 350º. I then added it to the mash.

The only things that can be improved with this recipe is to possibly add a touch more bittering hops, as it it slightly cloying (it is a pumpkin ale after all), and a touch of vanilla. Use beans, not extract. This was a very, very good beer.

Notes: Our first Frog Marsh Brewing original recipe! Bought some amber LME and Wyeast 1272 and then went thru the fridge for leftovers. Checked our unused hops/grain inventory for remainder of ingredients. Looked thru our previous 23 batches and picked from things we liked. Used my homemade stir plate for the first time! Am also trying a Hop Stand after boil...love a strong hop nose! IBU contribution seems to be totally captured in Utilization Factor...chose a modest 7%. All a SWAG, but we'll see what happens! :) Here goes on Father's Day 2016!
