Notes: Brewday Notes:
4/7/19: Achieved target mash temp, rested for 1 hour. Vorlaufed until clear of particulate, partially hazy. Batch sparged and ended up with 6.9 G pre boil volume. Boiled 40 minutes (adjusted from original) to hit target gravity. Rapidly cooled with copper immersion chiller to 165 deg, whirpooled hops for 15 minutes. Continued rapid chill until 70 deg.
Transferred roughly 5.25 G of cooled wort to 6 G new glass carboy. Placed in temp controlled freezer set to 67 deg. Once stabilized at target temp pitched still active 1.2 L Amalgamation II starter.
4/10/19: Temp raised to 70 deg. Fermentation activity was not observed until day 5, approximately 3" krausen. Fermentor smells of stone fruit and tropical fruit punch.
4/26/19: Fermentation still ongoing. Plan to let ride for 4 weeks before pitching dry hops and packaging.
05/07/19: Took sample (no dry-hop). Confirmed FG is 1.008 (means we're higher ABV than I wanted). But flavor and appearance was incredible.
Hazy pale straw body, aroma of barnyard sweat/funk, stonefruit, tropical fruit juice, and cereal grain. Taste followed with mild sweetness, very smooth bitterness, stone fruit, and finishes clean/dry with dough and cereal grain.
05/08/19: Plan to dry hop tonight with 2 oz of Galaxy, and 1 oz each of Citra and El Dorado. Let sit for 3-4 days, and cold crash and bottle.
5/11: cold crashed for 2 days, bottled mostly clear beer (still hazy from the spelt), got 48 x 12oz bottles. Target 2.5 vol co2, batch primed in bottling bucket with dextrose, gently stirred to incorporate.
Smell was incredible, over ripde fruit funk, juicy stone fruit, taste followed with doughy grain, and smooth mild bitterness.

Notes:
Synes 800g gir en balansert smak av aprikos. Om man ønsker å komme enda nærmere originalen kan man øke til ca 1000g som man har laget til en pure.
Og dette skal tilsettes etter stormgjæring på dag 5
Etter dette skal ølet flaskes og det skal tilsettes 6.5 gram sukker per liter øl du har. Og denne blandingen lages med ca 4 DL vann som kokes og kjøles ned før dette tilsettes i vørteren. |

Notes: This is an experiment in using koji as a starch converter for rice. In this beer, I'm adding a koji-rice starter and some steamed rice to my wort during primary fermentation.
For the purpose of recipe design, I've used flaked rice as a stand-in ingredient.
I'm using cheap ingredients to save time.
I'll be measuring FG and Final Brix to determine ABV.
Apparent Attenuation end up above 100% due to continued sugar creation in the wort, courtesy of koji |

Notes: Mash at 156°F (69°C) for 60 minutes while constantly recirculating. Target 5.2 pH. Mash out at 168°F (76°C) for 10 minutes, then begin runoff and sparge. Boil for 60 minutes. With 15 minutes left in boil, add lactose and Oreo cookie pieces. Chill to 67°F (19°C), pitch yeast, and oxygenate for 90 seconds at a rate of 2 L/min. with pure O2. Ferment at 67°F (19°C) for 7 days, then raise temp to 70°F (21°C) and hold for 3 days. Cold crash to 33°F (1°C) and hold for 5 days. Force carbonate to 2.5 vol. (5 g/L) CO2.

Notes: Maple syrup added at flameout to provide subtle maple notes in the finished product. For more direct maple taste, add to secondary as well, but beware of spontaneous fermentation.
Bourbon, oak chips, and maple syrup are added into a mason jar on brew day to soak for a week during primary fermentation. Pitch into secondary, then rack on top.
10-14 days secondary, then cold crash. Gelatin during cold crash. |
