Notes: This is the largest all grain mashing I have done to date. Almost 22 lbs of grain almost filled to capacity the mash tun. When the hot water was added I discovered pretty much the capacity of the cooler (22lbs) After 60 minutes and periodic checks to see the temperature stayed around 155, the concoction was drained, sparged, boiled for 60 minutes, adding hops and spices and lactose according to schedule. 6 gallon fermenting bucket was sanitized, filled and yeast was pitched around 6pm on 11/2/2014.
The grains were left in the mash tun for a small beer that followed approximately 15 minutes after the "Hazel's" wort was removed and sparged.
After 12 hours the bucket has not started to bubble. Moved bucket to kitchen counter.
Transferred to carboy after 1 week. Left for 10 additional days. Tranfered to the bottling bucket on the 19th and bottled 4 gallons of Aunt Hazel with final gravity at 1.023.

Notes: Not able to do a side-by-side tasting but from memory, although this is lower abv, it's very close on mouthfeel. This batch of hops (Mosaic and Citra 2016) are a bit more grapefruity and citrussy than tropical.
Very happy with how this turned out and the carapils seems to have stopped the body getting too thin without being too sweet.
Will tweak the hops next time (probably switch or add Amarillo and Galaxy) but some variation of this will be my house pale.
I think the most important improvement came from using my new pH meter and getting the mash pH (5.19) and sparge pH (4.8 - was scary low but seems to have worked) down. Finishing beer pH was ~4.4 when most of my latest have been 4.8-5.3.

Notes: The second German Smoked malt (10 oz) is actually Oak-smoked Wheat Malt. This brings the total wheat malt to 50% of the grist, and the total smoked malt to 50%, also (33.3% rauch malt and 16.7% smoked wheat malt).
Bring to 10 min boil after mashing, adding whirlfloc at 10 min. Then cool to 95-100°F, pre-acidify to 4.5 pH using Lactic acid, and then Kettle sour with one Goodbelly shot for 24 hours - pH dropped to 3.2. Then bring to a boil to kill off lacto, and add 60 min hops (any noble will work). Chill, then pitch yeast (Kolsch strain or German Ale would work well). Carbonate high.
Won third place in 2018 Cactus Challenge, Historical, Alternative, Speciality Beer category. |

Notes: every now and again I get down to the last part of all my bags of grain, this is a combined recipe of all of those ends, not sure how it will end up but I'm confident it will be good, always is
This couldn't have turned out better, with the ten day fermentation and 4 day cold crash and an inch of yeast in the secondary, this turned out very clear, has a very slight bitter taste at first and a Simcoe flavor and smell to it, if you ask me this was free since it was all the ends of bags, good pale ale
p.s. this yeast takes 2 to 3 days to start working then it explodes with a huge kroesen be patient and make sure you have room |

First time put this on a large yeast cake of nottingham from the Bateman's XXXB bitter. It didn't really finish that well so co-pitching S05 and Nottingham for second rep.
Swapping in HBC472 for Magnum bittering and EKG flavouring at 10.
Ran out of HBC472, switching back to Magnum and EKG. |
