Notes: This was a weird one. Just wanted to see how much sugar I could extract from oats. I used basic rolled oats from the store--only plugged in the New Zealand oats because that's about the PPG I was able to achieve from this mash.
The Ceremix Flex is pretty amazing stuff. It allows you to do low-temp cereal mashes without a decoction step. It would have been better with a more temperature-stable glucoamylase because the sweet spot for Ceremix is around 144F (62C). Amigase Mega L for a glucoamylase would be ideal because it can handle above 140F (60C) temps.
Didn't get a stuck mash or anything, but the oats sucked up a ton of mash water. Mashed in with 6.25gal, but only had a pre-boil volume of 4.5gal. Although with 20lbs of grain I guess that's pretty good.
I added all the LME in order to get the preboil grav to 1.073. Would really love to figure this out without resorting to the LME. Next time I'll try a decoction mash with a slightly different liquefaction enzyme.
Racked to secondary after 2 weeks. Aged on oak (WineStix Light Toast American Oak) for one week. Another 3 weeks in secondary, then cold crashed and bottled. |

| Notes: Add grain to 14 gallons water at 164°F for a target mash of 154°F. Hold mash temp for 90 minutes. Recirculate mash until wort is free from large amounts of grain. Drain off wort into boil kettle for approximately 11 gallons (sparge as needed for a boil gravity of 1.075). Boil for 240 minutes, adding hops at 60 minutes (IMPORTANT: please be aware of your boil-off rate, as you should finish your boil with 5.5 gallons and aim to get 5 gallons into your fermenter). Pitch yeast at 90-95°F (a 1L starter is highly recommended). |

Notes: Yeast: 2 - 5g packets of Lalvin EC-1118, bought from https://www.amazon.com/Lalvin-Dried-Wine-Yeast-1118/dp/B003TOEEFG/
Combine 15 lb of honey and top up to get 6 gal total volume.
Used this honey again, same as the two other batches: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/monarchs-choice-wildflower-honey-5-lb/789HONWILD5.html
We're doing the same nutrient schedule as this batch, and generally following the same process: https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/638699/mead
There were two differences, cause more by not noticing the details on the last recipe, rather than conscious choices. We added only half a campden tablet to roughly 7 gallons of water, instead of a full one, and used only two packets of yeast, instead of 4. |

Notes: Lalvin 71B-1122 Dry Yeast
1tsp per gallon Lalvin Fermaid-K*
Staggered Nutrients:
Day 0: After pitching the yeast, add 4.5 g of Fermaid-K and 2 g Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)
Day 1, 3, 5, 7, 8: Degas mead by gently stirring, twirling the carboy carefully, or using a wine degasser
Day 2, 4, 6: Gently stir and add 4.5 g Fermaid-K and 2 g of DAP
NOTE: When degassing and/or adding nutrients, do so very slowly to avoid foam ups reminiscent of an elementary school volcano in the science fair.
