Mash in at 152 °F (67 °C). Hold at 152 °F (67 °C) for 60 minutes. If possible heat mash to 168 °F (76 °C) and hold for 10 minutes for mash out. Sparge with 168 °F (76 °C) water and collect 7.5 gallons (28 L) of wort or collect runoff until Plato drops to 2.0 (1.008 SG) and add water to the 7.5-gallon (28-L) mark. Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops as indicated. Cool to 65–68 °F (18–20 °C) and pitch yeast. Ferment at 65–68 °F (18–20 °C) for 1 week. Transfer to secondary fermenter for 2 weeks. Crash cool at 36 °F (2.2 °C) for 1 to 2 weeks then keg or bottle. Carbonate to 2.3 to 2.5 volumes.

Notes: 2024-02-09
Bought a sack of Avangard Pils so subbing Weyermann Barke for that. Also picked up WLP029 for the first time in a while. And going to add some ascorbic acid in the mash for canning protection later. Also dialing back the magnum addition to 10 from 12 grams for bittering. 28 IBU to 24 IBU.
Oct '23 - After the Mustange I went back to OYL-044 and we oxygenated (1 min on setting 1 Blichmann oxygen regulator). It hasn't cleared as of typing, but it finished drier than before which makes the bitterness stand out a bit more. I think it tastes like a "weak" german Pils with some kolsch-like esters rather than a kolsch. Went shopping for kolsch to compare and could only find Reissdorf. Reissdorf has a lingering bitterness but comes across initially as sweet and fruity. I prefer the Gaffel that I've been able to find, it's a little more hoppy, but still has the strong white wine/grape notes that I enjoy in a kolsch.
Previous batches:
3.5 kg Pils (Barke, used to use BoPils)
250 g Vienna
125 g Wheat
100 g Melanoidin
60 min
28 Tettnang
14 Perle
10 min
14 each Tett & Perle
Sep 2023 Last batch was really good with the Mustange. It took about a month, maybe 6 weeks for it to clear and then for the banana notes to subdue. Switching back to OYL-044 for batch 3 of v3 and keeping everything else the same.
Last batch was good, but the melanoiden was too much. Haze was definitely more in control than before and it wasn't nearly bitter enough. I wonder if the bitterness is dropping over time because the hops I've been using were from 2018. Kept frozen and vacuum sealed, but still "older". I've also been using a chloride heavy water chemistry and I'm going to shift more towards balanced. Gaffel has some sweetness, but finishes dry on the tongue.
New Tett 21 4.5%
Contessa 8% 1oz - pear and tea-like notes could be good late addition in future batch
Switching from OYL-044/WLP-029 to Mustange from BB for a go. "Lagerlike" suggests it might be cleaner than my usual, which is not ideal so will ferment on higher end.
I've made the original recipe about 13 times and it's been good to me. The last batch had a DMS issue due to a process problem, but I bought some Gaffel and Reissdorf and realized I was off more than I realized in terms of recipe.
Going to cut the wheat and vienna a bit, add some melanoiden to fake decoction a bit. Using WLP029/OYL-044, perle and tettnang for now. Keeping the ABV on the lower end, hoping for more clarity. Subbing out Barke for BoPils and watching my process more (collecting drips from the hood back in the kettle was the issue).
--- Notes carried over from 2.1
Going back to the original recipe more. The Lida Kviek was nice, but it wasn't the same. I've drifted away on the Yeast and the hops a bit.
Updating with more recent ingredients I have on hand. Using OYL-044 more nowadays due to lesser WLP availability nearby Seems like the same yeast so far. |

Notes: In the brew pot add honey,corn sugar, 2 Temple orange peels, and 1 1/2 gallons water.Bring to a slow boil. As soon as boil starts, scoop out orange peel. Continue a slow boil for 30 minutes, skimming any "foam" that forms on the surface. After 30 minutes add 1tsp Irish Moss, continue to slow boil for 15 minutes. Add to primary and bring volume up to 5 gallons. Rehydrate 1 package of "Red Star Pasteur Champagne Yeast". Pitch yeast when temperature of must is 65F-75F. Secondary rack when necessary.
This is my late Fathers recipe. It has won many awards, both in the SCA and in the mundane world. We just opened the last bottle, 20 years old by the way, and it is wonderful! Hope you have fun brewing this one. |

Notes: A super juicy DIPA inspired by Tree House Brewing Co. Generously dry hopped with Citra and Idaho-7, it's a fruit bomb!
Brewer's note: watch your efficiencies and scale accordingly, we have a fairly low brew house efficiency so you may end up over shooting OG if left untouched!
