Notes: this turned out very well, you can use any yeast you want, the chico strain will work,like US05, I like high flocculating yeast and I ferment at 60 so was trying several brands out.
I whirl-pooled at 0 until the temp reached 170ish. I strongly recommend both the first wort and the whirlpool, I actually put the hops in the mash right when I started the recirculation, the first wort will give it a clean smooth bite for the bitterness so the beer is slightly more on the bitter side that the ibu's say, I give it a 65 IBU for taste and the whirlpool will meld the hops for the very good finish, it can seem a bit strong flavored at first but after conditioning this is a darn good beer, I Like it :), keep in mind that this is a higher alcohol beer :) |

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. |

Making for Oktoberfest???
8/5 first attempt used this hop series; 1. Centennial 0.5 oz, mosaic 1 oz. @10 min remain, mosaic 1 oz. whirlpool 30 min, mosaic 1.5 oz dry hop right after Krausen falls 7 days. Real IBU closer to 60. Attempting to get heavier citrus aroma through dry hop, first attempt. |

Notes: 1) New Kegco 6 gallon - Started with 5 gallons of spring water and added minerals. Mash landed at 151 after putting in the bag from a strike temp of 158. The mash then fell to 147 towards then end. Had some issues with the thermometer (digital) so I'll be replacing it with a dial thermometer.
PH - 5.4
2) Boil was uneventful, hopped as planned, immersion chilled to 160 to hopstand. After 30 mins, continued chilling and transferred 3 gallons to my fermenter.
OG - 1.060 - missed by a lot. Maybe just the new equipment, too much starting water, or temp issues. Pretty sure because i started with too much water, so I now I have a better idea of boil off. I lowered my efficiency in the recipe to reflect.
3) Put in temp controlled chamber and stabilized at 67 before aerating for 30 mins and pitching sanitized yeast packet. 48 hours in and fermentation is going strong.
4) Fermentation slowing at 4 days in, added first dry hop charge and pulled a sample. I get lots of awesome fruit flavors and a little bit of alcohol/yeast flavor with should clear up after full attenuation. Really looking forward to this one.
Gravity: 1.010 - lower than expected even with updating to show starting efficiency.
5) Transferred to Keg at 7 days, over 2nd dry-hop, and finished fermentation under pressure at 10psi.
6) At 10 days, I force carbonated at 30 psi for about 12 hours, then lowered to serving pressure for about a week.
7) Overall, the beer is decent but definitely very thin considering the low starting gravity. I also finished very low at 1.008. Another issue I've consistently noticed is that, despite using different hops, my beers all taste really similar. I think this may be yeast temp and I'm getting a lot of the fruity esters overtaking my hops. Next time I'll try a lower ferm temp. |

Notes: 5g de folhas de limão kaffir para 23 litros de cerveja (na outra receita, o cara usou 15g e achou demais)..........5min
Capim-limão..........5min
Gengibre..........5min
Opcional: 8g de Sementes de Coentro......5min (1,5g/litro é ideal pra qq coisa em qq receita)
Fermentar a 15-18 graus
Aerar, mas não precisa de starter
Rampas
As rampas de mosturação foram:
20 mins a 42C no fundo da panela
15 mins a 53C no fundo da panela
50 mins a 63C
10 mins a 76C
Para o sabor de cravo:
Fazer uma parada na temperatura do ácido ferúlico durante a mosturação ajuda a criar mais precursores do aroma de cravo também.
Parada de 45 ºC para ativar o ácido ferúlico que vai dar origem ao sabor de cravo (fenólico) |
