Notes: Brooklyn Brewshop's recipe for Apple Crisp Ale (5.5% ABV) was inspired by their Peach Cobbler Ale. Creators Erica Shea and Stephen Valand explain, "We wanted something light, slightly tart, and refreshing, more cider than sweet apple juice." They say the beer will take on the flavors of the apples you use and recommend choosing apples that you like to eat.

INGREDIENTS:

60-MINUTE MASH AT 152°F
2-1/4 quarts water, plus 1 gallon for sparging
2 pounds American 2-row malt
0.1 pound Caramel 60 malt
0.05 pound Chocolate malt
0.05 pound Aromatic malt
*all grains should be milled

60-MINUTE BOIL
0.3 ounce Fuggle hops
1 cinnamon stick
0.1 ounce Hallertau hops
2 apples, peeled and diced

FERMENT
1/2 packet English ale yeast, such as Wyeast LondonIII or Nottingham
3 tablespoons honey, for bottling

Step 1

MASH:
In a medium stockpot, heat the 2-1/4 quarts water over high heat to 160 F. Add all the malts and stir gently. The temperature should reduce to 150 F within 1 minute. Turn off the heat.

Steep the grains for 60 minutes between 144 F and 152 F.

Every 10 minutes, stir and take the temperature. If the grains get too cold, turn on the heat to high while stirring until the temperature rises to that range, then turn off the heat.

With 10 minutes left, in a second medium stockpot heat the 1 gallon water to 170 F. After the grains have steeped for 60 minutes, raise the heat of the grains-and-water mixture to high and stir until the temperature reaches 170 F.

Turn off the heat.

Step 2

SPARGE:
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a pot, and pour the grains into the strainer, reserving the liquid.

Pour the 1 gallon of 170 F water over the grains. Recirculate the collected liquid through the grains once.

Step 3

BOIL:
Return the pot with the liquid to the stove on high heat and bring to a boil. When it starts to foam, reduce the heat to a slow rolling boil and add the Fuggle hops and cinnamon stick.

Add the Hallertau hops after 59 minutes.

At the 60-minute mark, turn off the heat and add the apples. Steep for 20 minutes.

Prepare an ice bath by stopping the sink and filling it with 5 inches of water and ice.

Remove the apples with a sanitized slotted spoon and place the pot in the ice bath in the sink and cool to 70 F, about 20 minutes

Step 4

FERMENT:
Using a sanitized funnel and strainer, pour the liquid into a sanitized fermenter.

Add any water needed to fill the jug to the 1-gallon mark. Add the yeast, sanitize your hands, cover the mouth of the jug with one hand, and shake to distribute evenly. Attach a sanitized stopper and tubing to the fermenter and insert the other end of the tubing into a small bowl of sanitizing solution. The solution will begin to bubble as the yeast activates, pushing gas through the tube. Wait 2 to 3 days until the bubbling has slowed, then replace the tubing system with an airlock.

Wait 11 more days, then bottle, using the honey.

Notes: Brewdate: 12 February 2018. Captain Slog:

This brew close to Graham Wheeler recipe for relatively low-alcohol best bitter from Black Sheep. Followed recipe quite closely, upping Challenger hop dose from 21g to 25g to compensate for relatively low AA content. Otherwise identical.

Noticed during mash that Braumeister 'fly sparge' was uneven, showing preferred channels through the grain pipe. Not seen this before and wondered if the thinner mash was responsible (at 5.85L/kg, it was significantly thinner than we usually do, with a target of ABV 3.8%).

Measured OG after mash at 1.040, indicating 65% efficiency despite uneven flow through malt pipe. Volume into fermenter was 20L and OG 1.042, projected ABV 4.0%.

Fermentation set-point 19C, actual T will be close to 19.5C.

FG 1.006 - adjusted attenuation to 83%.

Notes: A no-boil sour base utilizing Lallemand Philly Sour.

Do not fear the no-boil. If you are concerned about infection, you can pasteurize the collected wort @ 180f for a few minutes.

This base is intended to ferment to terminal gravity + extra time for souring, then be kegged with flavorings or juice to 3.5vol

Strike: 6.25 @ 163.5f
Sparge 5 @ 180f

Split into 2 Corny Kegs @ 4.75 each

Notes: This beer has no hops in it, It is based off of medieval time ingredients with the modern way of brewing. I discovered this a couple years ago and was very interested. I like to sample all along the process and was very worried till it was carbonated. The Mugwort kept giving off a tree bark taste to the unfinished beer. Once it was done and ready to drink, it kinda has a tart Root Beer taste to it. And very enjoyable!!

Notes: Single infusion mash at 154 for 90 mins. Raise to 168 for mash out and hold for 10 mins.

Boil 60 mins. Cool to 66 after flameout and pitch yeast. Hold temp at 66-68 until gravity is 5 points from final (1024) and then let temp rise to 72 until finished.

Low level of carbonation.

Used Northern brewer @11.0 AA rather than Target for bitterness as shop didn’t have Target.

I tweaked the recipe to add 1 of challenger at 20 mins vs .5oz at 60 and 1 oz of north down at 10 vs. .5 oz at 15 as the AA on the hops I was using was a lot lower than standard and I wanted to get more aroma from them.
Gravity as start of boil was 1059. OG was 1063 after boil, so 72% efficiency. Pitched 250 ml of yeast from previous Pub beer that had finished fermenting. Cooked wort to 67 degrees from 71.

After 24 hours gravity dropped 25 points to 1038. After 48 hours it was 1023 and wort chilled to 63.
After 70 hours gravity 1021. Added 1 oz EKG and raised temp to 65.

Raised temp slowly to 69 by day 6 when gravity was 1018. Increased attenuation to 72% from 69 standard. Also added 2 tablespoons of yeast cake after 5 days when gravity was stuck at 1021.
