Notes: The grain bill and ingredients are easy, but it's important to pay attention to your process when making a Sour. This recipe uses a Kettle Souring method. It's simple but you need to have the right equipment to make it work.

Mash in and follow typical lautering procedures just like you would for any other beer. You want this beer to be light a crisp to accentuate the flavor of the yeast, so temps should be low. Around 150F.

This next step is what makes a Sour a Sour. Vorlauf (let about a gallon of beer to settle the grain bed

____________________________________________RMy review:
This beer is the shit. I am not sure if it is perle hops or the sweet love of the vienna or the victoy malt I love the most. It is so drinkable and very unique for a pale ale. I would make this 100 more times because it is that good.

Notes: This brew is an iteration of a few ciders using different grain bills (juice to honey ratios) with various yeasts.

Notes:
5lbs = 5 Gal. Apple Juice (if this is your first cider, use organic juice without potassium sorbate; it will kill the yeast and not ferment). Don't think I used maltodextrin here.

The rest of the grain bill is accurate. If a little less kick is needed, try one of the alternates below. I'm using WLP001 this time because of its tolerance for high alcohol, higher fermenting temp and because it finishes sweater (personally I prefer the dryness of the EC-1118 but then it's closer to Cyser territory).

I'm thinking ABV should be close to 10%. Also, because OG will be relatively high I'm using a starter. One could also double pitch with decent results. I've pitched one yeast pack before and still not had any problems.

Basic steps: Boil 2 gal. apple juice and add honey stirring constantly. (Honey is heavy and will sink to the bottom. It burns easily like candi syrup.) Boil juice, honey and sugar together for at least 20 minutes. Combine wort with remaining juice once temps drop to pitching levels.

HISTORIC
YEAST / OG / FG
WLP775 / 1.073 / 1.012 -5 gal. juice to 3 lbs honey
WLP005 / 1.087 / 1.030 -6 gal. juice to 6 lbs honey(4 gal. split)
EC-1118 / 1.087 / 1.011 -6 gal. juice to 6 lbs honey (2 gal. split)

dissolve cocoa powder with 5 oz sugar
in 1 qt hot water to make syrup.Add syrup
45 minutes into the boil.

Update 3/30/14
This beer finished at 1.026 due to the
unfermentables and high mash temp.
Too chocolatey, so I decreased cocoa from 6 oz to 3 oz.

Notes: This is a "shell" recipe I use as a reminder/copied template for the typical stepped mash profiles used with the Speidel Braumeister and the effect on final product. Also useful for Grainfathers or any other programmable stepped mash system.

DocD

44 (30-52) 0-20 min.
Beta Gluconase - DO NOT SKIP for wheat beers or if many (20%) adjuncts (oats, rye, raw barley, wheat). Beta glucan can otherwise turn wort to jelly. Also, necessary if classic European malts with only moderate modification. If actually trying to use this step to lower pH >>>30 minutes.
-Deactivated at 50C

52 (50-55) 20 min.
Protease - Breaks up large proteins, decreased haze. Smaller proteins good for head and body. Many modern malts have this step completed during the malting, do not skip with very traditional old style malts. However, can also result in the loss of characteristics from modern malts where a specific protein profile is created by the malter for head retention, mouthfeel, etc ...
Peptidase - Produces free amino nitrogen, FAN can help fermentation, too much can produce off flavors. Often deactivated with kilning.
-Deactivated at 66C/72C

58 (55-60) rare step
Limit Dextrinase - For dry dry lagers, this enzyme is one reason for classic two step mashed Lagers. Will breakdown sugars not manageable by Beta and Alpha. Will remove much of the body from Dextrin malts.
-Deactivated at 60C

63 (60-65) 20-40 min.
Beta Amylase - Produces maltose. Long here means highly fermentable sugars, therefore dryer beer. Some malts with dextrin can add body even when long maltose stage is used: Carapils, DextraPils.
Low 60-61C, and long 40 min all fermentable wort resulting in dryer beer.
Higher 65C, and shorter 20 min for full body beers where many non-fermentable sugars remain in the wort.
-Deactivated at 72C

72 (68-72) 35 min.
Alpha Amylase - Produces a variety of sugars, including maltose and some unfermentable sugars.
Low for light all fermentable - 69.
Higher for full body unfermentable - 72 (increasing deactivation of Beta)
-Deactivated at 79C

Mash out 78C no more than 10 min, if sparge, no higher than 78C or risk bitterness from tannin extraction.

SINGLE TEMP WINDOW for my "SMaSTaSH" trials : 64-70
Single Malt @ Single Temp & Single Hop

Copy paste from web in Fahrenheit for non SI folks:
* Phytase (86-126 F) – Lowers the pH of the mash. Lowering the mash pH has a number of benefits, though a Phytase rest is rarely used by modern brewers.
* Debranching (95-112 F) – Helps to increase the solubility of starches resulting in increased extraction for certain malts.
* Beta Glucanese (95-113F) – Breaks down the gummy heavy starches, which can help improve stability and extraction, particularly for mashes high in proteins and adjuncts such as wheat.
* Pepidase (113-131F) – Produces free amino nitrogen, which can aid in fermentation.
* Beta Amylase (131-150F) – Produces maltose, the main sugar fermented in beer.
* Alpha Amylase (154-162F) – Produces a variety of sugars, including maltose and also some unfermentable sugars. Mashing at the higher end of this range produces more unfermentables and therefore more body in the finished beer.
