Notes: Brewed on 9/1/2013. Strike water was 174 and hit right about 155F. Left for 10min and then recirculated about a gallon through to distribute evenly with preheated pyrex glass. The temp dropped it down to about 152F so I topped off with half gallon of boiling water which brought it to 153F. Stopped there because I didn't want to thin out the mash even more. I will have to figure out a way to prevent heat loss when recirculating. pH was 5.3 with the slightly thinned mash. Boil Kettle efficiency was 80%. Brew house efficiency was down this time. I am not sure why that would be but maybe it's because I had some wort left over in the kettle and thus didn't boil off enough. I did get my full wort volume without having to top off. I wonder if I should boil 8.25 gal in the future? Some hose water also got into the brew because I wasn't paying attention well enough to my hose attachments. Yeast took off within 8 hours. I looked at it and krausen has formed about 8 hours after. Temp was about 73F so I cooled it down to 68 as quickly as I could. It was about the same temp in the morning. I dropped some of the ice blocks in there in the middle of the night. At about mid afternoon on 9/2 it was at 66F. By the evening time it had climbed back up to 71F so I put some more ice packs in there and cooled it back down to 67F. I got a new tub insulator cover but I am not sure if it is actually doing all that much. I am hoping it isn't getting too crazy because of the temp fluctuation. Morning of 9/3 the beer had risen back up to 70F. I iced it back down to 68. I am wondering if the insulation is keeping the heat in too. Evening of 9/3 it had risen back up to 70F. Iced it down to about 67/68. 9/4 by morning the brew had creeped up to 70F again. I chilled it down to 68F. By evening it was back up to 70F so I dropped it to 67F. 9/5 let the temp go and by 9/7 it was up about 74F. Dry Hopped 9/8/2013. I realized that I swapped the yeast vials and used wlp001 instead of wlp051. Gravity reading on 9/16 put it at 1.014. Racked to keg on 9/18/13 after cold crashing for 2 days.

Notes: The Brown malt in this recipe is home roasted brown malt so the lovibond is really Unknown.

The crystal 120 is home roasted lovibond unknown.

Planning on decocting this grist after 20min sac rest and boiling till mash out is Finnished to add melanoidin and body to beer.

Notes: Use a vegetable peeler to get the peel of 1 and a half fresh sweet oranges and 1 fresh bitter orange. Be sure not to include any pith (white part). Zest 2 fresh lemons and 1 fresh grapefruit, also taking care to not include any pith. Crush whole coriander seeds until broken in halves. Be sure to filter out all citrus and spice remnants from the wort before pitching yeast.

Notes: Prior to pitching- wort was sweet (duh!), and the mouthfeel suitable. The smell was very tropical due to the low bittering hop schedule; Azaaca and Pekko hops reminded me of everything from mango, cucumber and mint. Used a 1 liter starter w/o stir plate (2 days prior to pitching). extremely bright yellow color, reminiscent of a banana peel. OG= 1.050. Fermentation is occurring at ambient room temperature, which during this time of year is between 74-76. A little on the high side for this yeast, but we'll see what happens.

Day 3 - high-krausen has subsided, but the yeast has produced enough CO2 that the sample I pulled was slightly carbonated. Gravity reading = 1.012 (4.99% ABV). At this point, I believe primary fermentation is suitably completed. Tasting notes- excellent mouthfeel; mild, creamy body. Taste like a tropical hefeweizen- subdue notes of banana and clove, but the taste from the boil addition of orange peel and grapefruit peel are present on the back end. I am resisting the temptation of pulling the beer out of primary and putting into secondary. I will leave the beer on the wort until day 7. Will pull a new gravity reading at day 5. Deciding on whether or not to use fining agents to make the beer clearer, like a kristalweizen, or to keep the traditional wheat haze present. Very pleased with the choice of yeast.

Day 5 - gravity has fallen to 1.006 (5.78% ABV). Evidently, I was clearly wrong about fermentation being done on day 3. Will monitor for atleast another 2 days to see if the gravity stabilizes. If it is stable on day 7, I will make to secondary on day 10 or 11. I don't want to rush this beer, but I am eager to pour a glass of it. The honey addition at flameout is now present. Still has the notes of orange peel and grapefruit peel, put I have to pull deep to tate any of the banana or clove characteristic. It is a bit sweeter on the pallet than I am used to tasting, but I have never brewed a beer with such a low IBU. The mouthfeel is still creamy and pleasant.

Notes: Add 3 sectioned and de-pithed grapfruits to 170 degree water, let sit for at least ten minutes. Drain, mash with a sanitized masher and add at flameout. Zest the grapefruits and make a tincture, add when dry-hopping.

Did my best to honor the more feasible Sculpin Clone recipes out there, but had to substitute a few hops as the LHBS was out of a few varieties...Liberty for Northern Brewer, Doubled up the Warrior to replace Tomahawk, Nugget may have replaced something else...

Notes: Brewed 3-28-15 with Briar and Nick
3.5 gal distilled strike water
Mashed at 150F for 60 min
3 batch sparges at 170F, used 3 more gal distilled and 5 gal San Jose tap water
First runnings 17.5P, 2nd runnings 9P, 3rd 5P.
80 minute boil
whirfloc at 15 min
yeast nutrient at 11min
Flameout...added hops
whirlpooled for 15 minutes due to wort chiller o-ring coming out of housing. Was only supposed to be a 10 min hop stand. Not too concerned.
Chilled to 80F, got it into 6-gal glass carboy and set in fridge. Took 1.5 hours to get from 80F to 62F pitching temp. Started re-hyrating yeast roughly 1.5 hours too early. Yeast sat in sanitized measuring cup with tin foil over the top for 40 minutes.
OG = 1.049 = right on
Oxygenate wort for 2 min with pure O2 and stone
Less than 5 gallons into fermentor. Maybe 4.5
It took 1.5 hours to get from 80F to 64F
Oxygenated for 2 min and pitched at 64F
Let beer free rise once US-05 was pitched from 64-67F and kept at 67F from 2 weeks. Cold crashed for 1 week at 35F, then bottled with 4oz priming sugar. Didn't taste beer before cold crashing. Tasted beer after 11 days in bottle and it taste like first IPA...little buttery and "homebrew" tasting. Not sure if yeast was underpitched. First IPA was US-05 as well.
