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
50g CaCl
20g MgSO4
5g NaCl

8ml Lactic

11:50:
Overshot HLT temp
Cooling back down by circulating sanitiser through coil

Gravity into BK: 1.023

1:35:

MT: 45.5L
BK: 55L @ 90c ish.

1:40:
HLT: 2L, probably
MT: 44L
BK: 65.5L @ 90.2c

Gravity into BK: 1.018

1:42: HLT ran out

1:45:
HLT: 0L
MT: 37/38 -> Dropped below grain bed
BK: 73.5

Gravity into BK: 1.015

1:50:
BK: 77, and just starting to boil.

1.016 Final runnings.

Boil starting gravity: 1.047

2:40:
28g each of
El Dorado, Galaxy, Mosaic

2:45:
Added 8ml lactic acid to drop PH, for whirlpool.

2:50:
Boil complete
69L
PH: 4.8
Post Boil Gravity: 1.055
Started chilling.
sacrificed 300ml to sanitize hoses.

3:11:
Cooled to 70c,
added 2oz of each.

4:20:
1hr10m whirlpool. Long time.

Cooled to 53c over that time.

5:00. Transferred

2.5L gack
1.5L counterflow and hoses

4L losses. (stopped slightly earlier to stop picking up gack)

So. Probably 67 after Cooling.
So 63 into fermenter.

Notes: Getting ready to brew - comments appreciated. Will do a two stage fermentation then rack to a keg.

This is a great beer. So smooth, clean and crisp with a great mouth feel and creaminess from the oats. Brought this to a neighborhood gathering and it was a huge hit. Lost a lot with the irish moss so still have to figure it out.
