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: 5 Gallons of Cider.

Dissolved the sugar in half a gallon of cider at 180deg. Added the spices and orange at this time.

Used Lavilin 71B - 1122 white wine yeast.

Added one cranberry juice concentrate at kegging (after stabilization).

FG was actually .995

This is pretty dry. If you want it sweeter, add more cranberry concentrate or add some apple juice concentrate.

KY COMMON RESEARCH:
Historical Beer: Kentucky Common
Aroma: Low to medium grainy, corn-like or sweet maltiness with a low toast, biscuity-grainy, bready, or caramel malt accent. Medium to moderately-low hop aroma, usually floral or spicy in character. Clean fermentation character, with possible faint berry ester. Low levels of DMS are acceptable. No sourness. Malt-forward in the balance.
Appearance: Amber-orange to light brown in color. Typically clear, but may have some light haze due to limited conditioning. Foam stand may not be long lasting, and is usually white to beige in color.

Flavor: Moderate grainy-sweet maltiness with low to medium-low caramel, toffee, bready, and/or biscuity notes. Generally light
palate flavors typical of adjunct beers; a low grainy, corn-like sweetness is common. Medium to low floral or spicy hop flavor. Medium to low hop bitterness, which should neither be coarse nor have a harsh aftertaste. May exhibit light fruitiness. Balance in the finish is towards the malt. May have a lightly flinty or minerally-sulfate flavor in the finish. The finish is fairly dry, including the contributions of roasted grains and minerals. No sourness.

Mouthfeel: Medium to medium-light body with a relatively soft mouthfeel. Highly carbonated. Can have a creamy texture.

Overall Impression: A darker-colored, light-flavored, malt-accented beer with a dry finish and interesting character malt flavors.

Refreshing due to its high carbonation and mild flavors, and highly sessionable due to being served very fresh and with restrained alcohol levels.

Comments: Modern characterizations of the style often mention a lactic sourness or sour mashing, but extensive brewing records from the larger breweries at the turn of the century have no indication of long acid rests, sour mashing, or extensive conditioning.

This is likely a modern home brewer invention, based on the supposition that since indigenous Bourbon distillers used a sour mash, beer brewers must also have used this process. No contemporaneous records indicate sour mashing or that the beer had a
sour profile; rather the opposite, that the beer was brewed as an inexpensive, present-use ale.

History: A true American original style, Kentucky Common was almost exclusively produced and sold around the Louisville Kentucky metropolitan area from some time after the Civil War up to Prohibition. Its hallmark was that it was inexpensive and
quickly produced, typically 6 to 8 days from mash to delivery. The beer was racked into barrels while actively fermenting (1.020– 1.022) and tightly bunged to allow carbonation in the saloon cellar. There is some speculation that it was a variant of the lighter common or cream ale produced throughout much of the East prior to the Civil War and that the darker grains were added by the mostly Germanic brewers to help acidify the typical carbonate water of the Louisville area. Up until the late 19th century,
Kentucky Common was not brewed in the summer months unless cellars, usually used for malting, were used for fermentation. With the advent of ice machines, the larger breweries were able to brew year round. In the period from 1900 to prohibition, about 75% of the beer sold in the Louisville area was Kentucky Common. With prohibition, the style died completely as the few larger breweries that survived were almost exclusively lager producers.

Characteristic Ingredients: Six-row barley malt was used with 35% corn grits to dilute the excessive protein levels along with 1 to 2% each caramel and black malt. Native American hops, usually about .2 pounds per barrel of Western hops for bittering and a similar amount of New York hops (such as Clusters) for flavor (15 minutes prior to knock out). Imported continental Saazer-type hops (.1 pounds per barrel) were added at knock out for aroma. Water in the Louisville area was typically moderate to high in carbonates. Mash water was often pre-boiled to precipitate the carbonate and Gypsum was commonly added. Considering the time from mash in to kegging for delivery was typically 6 to 8 days, clearly aggressive top-fermenting yeasts was used.

Style Comparison: Like a darker-colored cream ale emphasizing corn, but with some light character malt flavor. Malt flavors and balance are probably closest to modern adjunct-driven international amber or dark lagers, Irish red ales, or Belgian pale ales.

Vital Statistics: OG: 1.044 – 1.055
IBUs: 15 – 25 FG: 1.014 – 1.018
SRM: 11 – 20 ABV: 4.0 – 4.4%

Commercial Examples: Occasional brewpub and microbrewery specials

Notes: Mengden meske- og skyllevann du bør bruke kommer an på utstyret og metoden du brygger med. Som et anslag kan vi si at du kan bruke 20 l meskevann og 14 l skyllevann til dette ølet. Noen bryggemaskiner (f.eks. Speidel Braumeister) kan kreve større mengder meskevann. Sjekk alltid manualen på utstyret du bruker.

Mesking på 64 grader i 75 min. Utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min hvis du har mulighet til å øke temperatur i mesken.

Kjøl ned til 17 grader før pitching av gjær.

La gjæringstemperaturen stige fritt til 20 grader ila. 2 dager. La deretter stige fritt til 24 grader og hold til gjæringen har stoppet og du evt. måler at FG er stabil. WLP565 kan jobbe tregere enn andre gjærstammer ned mot de siste SG-poengene, og om man bruker denne gjæren kan det være lurt å la ølet få stå på gjærkaken 1-2 uker lengre før tapping enn man normalt praktiserer med andre gjærstammer, altså totalt 3-4 uker.

Gjæralternativer: WLP566, WLP590, Danstar Belle Saison, Safbrew BE-134

Med denne mengden primingsukker vil alkoholkonsentrasjonen i ølet øke med ca. 0,4% etter karbonering.
