United Kingdom - Crystal 45L was changed out to US Crystal 40 (Phantom).
American Munich Light 10L was changed out to Best Malz (German) Munich Malt (Phantom).
Changed first addition hop from 0.9 to 1.0 oz.

Started with 8 gallons of water. Too much water. 13.5 pds of grain did not seem to absorb as much after sparging. had to boil extra half hours to get it down to 5.5 gals final amount. 7 gallons will be the max.

♦♦ Use 3 Vials of San Francisco Lager Yeast WLP810 @ 62°

WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast.
This yeast is used to produce the "California Common" style beer. A unique lager strain which has the ability to ferment up to 65 degrees while retaining lager characteristics. Can also be fermented down to 50 degrees for production of marzens, pilsners and other style lagers.
Optimum Ferment Temp. 58-65°F (14-18°C)

♦ STANDARD BREWING NOTES:
Created 8 gallons sparge water. NEVER AGAIN Bring to 154° strike temperature
Prime pump. Push water through hose.
60 minutes – Add tablespoon 5.2 pH balancer
Add grain – Sparge at 152° for ___ minutes (Minimum 60)
(One gallon loss during sparge process)
Water burn rate: 1-1/2 gallon per hour.
Drain GRAIN from kettle. Adjust water height of ___ (7 gallons)
Boil clean water for end of boil session adjustment
Mash Option dark beers – Add x tablespoon Calcium Carbonate
60 minutes – Add 2 drops Fermcap
60 minutes – Add 5 tablespoon Gypsum for IPA (Optional)
WAKE UP!!!!!!
15 minutes – Add immersion chiller
15 minutes - Add Whirlfloc
10 minutes – Add 1 teaspoon Yeast Nutrient last 10 minutes
♦ Check to see if nozzle is pointed upwards

♦ KEGGING NOTES:
Purge oxygen with CO2
Chill keg 24 hours before force carbonation.
Force Carbonation Calculator: 20 psi 4 days
Volumes of CO2 2.5 at 36°F = 10.2 psi American Ales

♥ DRINKABILITY: What did you like about it. 06.22.15 Perfect beer. Tested side by side with the original. Remarkable close.

♦ Northern Brewer Hops - Origin and Description
Northern Brewer Hops is an England native who is seeing its days live out mainly in Germany and the U.S. There is a separate U.S. hops variety that was bred in the United States that has similar properties. This dual use hops had a higher alpha acid content for the time, however super alphas have doubled, even tripled the content since back in the day. With that said Northern Brewer hops grown in Germany, sometimes referred to as Hallertau Northern Brewer if grown in the region, has made its mark and is used throughout beer styles such as European Ales, Lagers, and Pilsners. It is also synonymous with steam beers as in Anchor Steam.

Northern Brewer hops is used for both bittering and aroma additions in the kettle. It has an alpha acid content of 7.0%-10.0% and is a well rounded variety. The bitterness is moderate and the aroma comes off as plump. As one of Germany's main high alpha hops, Northern Brewer is both versatile yet refined.

Notes: Yeast Alternatives: White Labs WLP001 (California Ale) or Wyeast 1056 (American Ale)

Malt Specifics:
9.5 lbs of Maris Otter Liquid Malt Extract
8 oz Fawcett Dark Crystal Malt (120°L)
8 oz Muntons Crystal Malt (60°L)
8 oz Weyermann Caraamber Malt (28°L)

Place your crushed grains in a bag and soak in one gallon (4L) 160 °F water for 20 minutes. Rinse the grains with 2 qts (2L) hot water.

Add water until there is about 7.5 gallons in the kettle. Bring to a boil, remove the kettle from heat and stir in the malt extract.

Add the first wort hop additions and return the wort to heat. Boil for 90 minutes adding kettle hops at the times indicated.

Chill the wort to 150 °F, then add the hop stands. After 50 minutes chill to 68 °F.

Pitch the yeast, then aerate. Ferment at 68 °F.
Transfer the beer onto the dry hops in the secondary vessel. Dry hop for two weeks.

Prime to 2.5 volumes of CO2.

Planning to add a yet-to-be-determined quantity of macerated rhubarb to secondary vessel once primary is complete.

8/15/15: It's official, we're bad at wheat beers. To elaborate, we just can't seem to reach our OG or get even a little bit close any time we use more than 30 or 40% wheat in the grist. We'll spare the gory details, but we're gonna want to make a note to dial down efficiency to between 50-65% depending on the percentage and what we're going for. We added some DME to compensate, obviously.

8/29/15: The blowoff assembly on this one stopped bubbling a few days ago. Combined with the krausen fading for the most part, we figured this would end up being just about done. As suspected, it finished at exactly 1.012, and it looks, smells and tastes absolutely awesome from the small hydrometer sample we thieved. This is good because, as one might recall, we sucked really badly at actually brewing this due to poor conversion of wheat using our HERMS system (we got like 45-50% efficiency). We'll eventually figure this out, but we had to toss some DME in to hit target gravity. Anyway, upon tasting this guy, we noticed that the Nelson aroma hopping actually comes through, lending a nice musty white grape funk to the proceedings along with some bright berry notes. We'll probably be adding rhubarb soon, but this one can sit in primary for a little while until we figure out exactly what we're doing. No point racking it to secondary without also adding the rhubarb, really.
