Notes: Brewed 7/20/14. Strike water was 174F and it was about 152F. Recirculated about a gallon and a half down to 150F. I added 1lb rice hulls because when recirculating it got a bit stuck. I adjusted my mill gap recently so that might be a factor. Ph reading was 5.2 which was what was supposed to be predicted. Mash was very thick and could have maybe used more water. Vorlaugh was a bit slow maybe due to a lot of grains. Sparge was under by about a half gallon so I heated a half gallon more and sparged with that. Boil OG was 1.068 which puts the kettle efficiency at 73% which is a bit low. I believe I actually had about 8.75 or 9 gal pre-boil which probably wasn't that good. Efficiency was way down again. I didn't boil off enough so maybe that is why. Had about a half gallon extra in the boil. The huge drop in efficiency might be because of that. Pitch was about 72F and I cooled it to drop it a bit more. Ended up being about 64F and fermentation. 7/21 morning, fermentation has started and is sitting at about 65F. By evening it had drifted up to 69F so I cooled it back to 66F. I also added 6oz of turbinado to kick the OG and alcohol up a bit more. 7/22 the brew heated up to about 70F by morning so I cooled it down to about 66F. Might have cooled down lower than 66F, but by night time it was at 67F. 7/23 morning the brew had heated up to 70F cooled it to 68F. Was still sitting at 68F by evening. 7/24 out of swamp today, temp about 71F. It finished fermenting at about 75F as it has been quite hot. Took a gravity reading on 8/20/14. Fermented a bit more than expected but it tastes awesome. FG is a bit lower than I wanted but we shall see how the body holds up with a bit of age and carbonation. Prolly from the extra sugar. Kegged 8/22/14. Force carbed it and bottled all of it on 2/3/15, bottle code RS3. Beer had a very nice coffee and dark chocolate notes. Very smooth and balanced with a nice body despite it fermenting down more than desired.

Notes: Pre-boil gravity 10.25 brix.
Post boil gravity

Hot break at beginning of boil largely skimmed off.

Brew day Wednesday October 2. Target OG of 1.047, actual was 1.052 (68% vs 63% efficiency).

Pitch 1/2 packet Nottingham rehydrated for 20 minutes in 4 oz cooled boiled water (partial tap) on Wed. October 9. Fridge set at 60F, ferment at 67-68 according to Carboy strip. Raise by 2 degrees Friday October 11 2013.

Transfer from primary to keg with 1.25 oz. Corn sugar on Saturday October 19 2013.

This beer turned out very nice and I'm still enjoying in mid December. One to make again for sure, perhaps with the WLP007 Dry English Ale yeast to compare.

Notes: this recipe seems to be wonderful, we used Grainfather and a very high HCO3 water (1123!!)
We are located in Italy, after secondary fermentation switch it tasted very good: fruity with a round taste, we can't imagine how it will come out! Keep you informed

Notes: On brew day...

Mash #1
Mill 7Kg of pale ale and dough in with 21.1L hot water, targeting a mash at 70.6C.
Hold until enzymatic conversion is complete.
If your system allows raise the mash temperature to 76C and recirculate the wort until clear.
Sparge with 77C water to collect 25L of wort.
If your boil off volume is greater than 10% / hour adjust the amount of wort you collect accordingly.
Take a specific gravity reading and, if needed, add light DME to reach a specific grav of 1.065.
Heat to a boil and add the hop extract. Boil for 4 hours.

Time Mash #2 so that the wort from Mash #1 has boiled for at least 4 hours before you begin to collect the first runnings from Mash #2 into the boil kettle.

Mash #2
Mill 3Kg of pale ale malt along with the remaining grain and dough-in with 21.1L of hot water, targeting a mash at 70.6C.
Hold until enzymatic conversion is complete.
If your system allows raise the mash temperature to 76C and recirculate the wort until clear.
Collect 13.2L of first runnings wort in the boil kettle to reach a total of 25L.
If necessary, sparge with 77C water to bring the volume up to 25L of wort.
The specific gravity of the wort in the kettle at this point should be about1 1.124
Boil for 90 minutes adding Whirlfloc, yeast nutrient and sugar at 10 minutes.
Before cooling take a specific gracity reading and, if needed, add light DME to reach a specific gravity of 1.169 and a final volume of 20.7L

Chill the wort to 16.7C
Oxygenate with pure oxygen for 90 seconds before pitching the yeast starter (decanting the spent wort first).
Ferment at 16.7-17.8C
After 12-24 hours of fermentation, oxygenate with pure oxygen for 60 seconds.
Hold the fermentation temperature at 16.7-17.8C for 7 to 10 days b.
Raise temperature up to 21.1C for 7 days to perform a diacetyl rest and ensure a complete fermentation (FG of 1.055)
Rack to secondary fermenter and leave for 1 to 3 weeks. (Due to extreme viscosity, racking this beer can take an incredibly long time).

Before or after racking the beer to the secondary, prepare a vanilla bean tincture.
Cut open 2 Mexican vanilla seeds and pods into just enough neutral spirit (like vodka) to cover, and age for 5 days before adding it to seconday.

age for 8 days minimum
(optional to barrel age, add another vanilla bean tincture for ~six months or to taste)
Before bottling add 2.5-5oz of whole bean coffee in a muslin bag to secondary
1. Intelligentsia black cat (pre-2014 Dark Lord)
or
2. Dark Matter Unicorn Blood (2014-2015 Dark Lord)

age for 24-48 hrs at 38 degrees then bottle as normal but add additional yeast (US-05) at bottling

When kegging, shoot for 2-2.25 volumes CO2
Add above described coffee beans to empty keg in a muslin bag and remove after 24-48 hours of aging at 38 degrees

Once carbonated condition at cellar temperature for several months

Notes: Similar notes to chocolate orange candy, but much more subtle. Desired outcome is a Dry Stout with smoothness and improved mouthfeel from oats matched by chocolate flavors, then impart a floral, bitter aftertaste followed by lingering sweet orange citrus flavor and aroma.

Notes: Really delicious Rosemary IPA, perfect with a roast lamb.

I normally dont bother with secondary, usually just throw in my dry hop addition about 3-4days into primary fermentation and let it do its thing for another 5 days.

make sure you thoroughly wash all of your rosemary, and even sanitize the dry hop addition for safety.

could also consider throwing in some lemon rind during fermentation or possibly even do it at flameout.

Notes: Steep three juniper branch ends (6inches, no berries) at no higher than 176*F over night. Use this water in the mash.

Use beech smoked malt.

I picked this recipe up while traveling around Norway. My host and fellow homebrewer, said that this is probably the most authentic Norwegian style ale that is still produced. Inspiration for this recipe came from Voss Brewery, Norway.

Notes: Add 2 tsp of Gypsum to water, based off starting with DC water.

The recipe released from the White House has an error, they mention 1.5 oz of Fuggle in the list of ingredients, but then only 0.5 oz in the instructions. I went with 1.5 oz here.

The instructions are also a little weird in terms of the boil times. They say 'add the honey and boil for 5 more minutes'. So, actually it is a 50 minute boil, not a 45 minute boil.

Other than that, it is a straight forward extract batch.

To get it to qualify as an Amber Ale, had to set the IBU equation to Rager, and the SRM equation to Daniels. I'm open to suggestions on the style (haven't tasted it).
