Notes: Very short boil (20min) to leave proteins for the wild yeast to eat.

Week 1: Primary fermentation with ale/lager yeast (plastic carboy or whatever).

Week 2: Rack to secondary, still ale/lager yeast (plastic or whatever).

Week 3: Rack to a glass or PET container (air tight, glass is better to sanitise the wild yeast when finished). Add wild yeast. Leave for at least 6 months or more (years?). Put in a cool place, although some say room temp is ok. I leave mine in room temp during summer and it could reach above 25c.

3 months before bottling: Add fruit. 200 grams pr liter beer. My fruit has been frozen, then pasteurised in a kettle at 80c for half an hour.

Add oak chips for the last 2 weeks.

Ale yeast: Whatever, but a Belgian ale yeast is preferred (because of esters). Or Lager yeast. 1 vial is good, no starter.
Wild yeast: WYEAST 3278 BELGIAN LAMBIC BLEND, or whatever brett.

Notes: Based on a dopple bock with modified recipe to target a lower ABV (can drink more) whilst retaining the flavour. The malt profile is supported by the use of German Bock Lager Yeast (WLP833). FG = 1.009, ABV = 6.3%

Won best in class at Gisborne (NZ) 2020 home brew competition - Lager.

Notes: Modern Times - Fortunate Islands clone

https://www.brewersfriend.com/mash-chemistry-and-brewing-water-calculator/?id=Z4XL4Z0

Ferment 64F for four to five days, bump to 68F till fermentation completes.
-----------------------
Notes for future brews:
(lower the amount of GP) Try with 3 lb Golden promise and 3 lb pale malt
Raise the Mash temp 152-154
Try WLP095 or WLP001
----------------
Was able to compare to a can of Fortunate Islands. The actual fortunate islands from the can was definitely more bitter.

Notes: Slightly disaster filled first ever partial-mash brew-day. Intended to brew Sara Carter's Bombay IPA. Accidentally brewed this instead. Got lower than expected efficiency. Correctly calculated how much DME to add - but then inadvertently added 1Kg too much giving a much higher than expected OG.

This recipe was very bitter at the lower OG, so hopefully it will turn out reasonably well anyway. Even in the worst case scenario, I'm pretty sure I made beer.

90% attenuation based on what I actually got. Notty is amazin'.

Notes: Lower efficiency than desired. New homebrew shop so milling might have affected it. Also, pH may have been too high (5.5+) since I did not have proper acidification, although I got same 65% efficiency on my porter brewed the same day, which did not need any acid to achieve 5.3-5.4 pH because of the darker grains.

2L Starter with 8 oz DME. Decanted about 1 L before adding to ~68F wort. Took off right away and within 2 days krausen has filled up headspace of 8 gallon fermentor. Maintaining around 71F wort temperature (ambient in chest freezer is set at 66F).

On day 3 of ferment, gravity sample read ~1.020. Tasted great but still very sweet. Thick 3-4" krausen. Internal temperature dropped from 71F to 69-70F (ambient set at 69F), suggesting fermentation activity slowing down. Removed fermentor from chest freezer to ambient room temps of approximately 77F for natural rise to hopefully achieve full attenuation (I heard 3522 will drop out if temperature drops ). Will check internal temperature after 12 hours.

On day 4 of ferment, gravity sample read 1.014 at 76F internal wort temp (~1.016 adjusted, which would be the average attenuation for the strain; however, I hope to get lower). Ambient temperature is around ~80F in the laundry room. Will likely transfer to 68F temp chamber again on day 6.

On day 5 of ferment, gravity sample read 1.011 at 77F internal wort temp (~1.013 adjusted. I am hoping to get 1.009-1.011 by the end of fermentation). Has a very sweet flavor (honey? sweet orange peel?). Almost tastes underhopped. Do not detect the spices. Still intend on transferring back to temp chamber tomorrow (day 6)

Day 7 - transferred to 66F fermentor.

Day 8 - gravity sample read 1.009. Sitting at 68F. Need to transfer to keg before leaving for Thanksgiving break for 10 days.
