Notes: This batch of Adirondack Cream Ale is being brewed on 1/18/2016 with two changes from last years brewing of Adirondack Cream Ale on 3/5/2015.

Original Gravity where I buy the ingredients was out of 6 row so I substituted 2 row for 6 row in the original recipe from March 2015. This change in grain concentration and grain type may affect the flavor of the final beer. Who knows.

The second change is using another .50 ounce of Cluster in the last 20 minutes. Lets see if this makes a difference in the final product.

I was going to use a yeast started but opted not to due to the projected OG to be below the limit of when Whitelab says to use a starter (OG 1.070) I don't get to use my cool Erlenmeyer flask this go around.

1/25/16:
Racked off into glass carboy. Gravity an unbelievable 1.008. Checked hydrometer for accuracy at room temp tap water was 1.00 gm/ml. But it should not go that low given the grain bill. Last year the same thing happened I checked calibrations then too. All was well.

Current ABV calculations are coming out above 8 ABV

Set Carboy on kitchen counter for a day to check for activity and then into a cold closet to rest.

* After two hours the decanted beer showed no signs of restart so I added a low dose of LD Carlson;s Yeast Energizer (Nutrient Booster). Normal dose would be 2.5 teaspoons. I had only 1 1/2 teaspoons on hand so I used it.

Checked gravity on 2/4/2016 and found it to be 1.006 g/ml. I may soon.

Making the ABV 8.93 % Alcohol

Attenuation was 91% I think it is done.

2/7/16 - Fermentation not done. Witnessed airlock movement this morning. Keeping the Cream Ale in the glass carboy another week.
Projected bottling: Feb 15th
Projected aging in fermenters total: 4 weeks. 1 week in Primary and three in secondary carboy

2/14/16 - Racked off beer from glass carboy to bottling bucket. I have 5 gallons of beer to bottle. Checked gravity
OG - 1.74
FG - 1.002
Calc ABV - 9.45%

Used 3/4 cup Extra light DME boiled then put on an ice bath.

4.9 Gallons bottled.
6, 22oz Craft Brew bottles
36, 12 oz
1, Grolsh bottle
1 12 oz pour for the brewmiester
1 busted bottle

= 4.9 gallons

9.45% is kicking my ass, but I don't know it yet.

Current notes as a raw beer without carbonation.

Smells like a Cream Ale and a Saison.
Nice even finish maybe leaning dry but currently well balanced.

Notes: This is a slightly modified version of one of my older recipes that I have decided to share. Not a lot of "Really good" Cherry Wheat beers out there but this one is the best one I have found thus far. Citra Hops really makes the difference here especially in the dry hop, for this recipe I went light but for those true hop heads out there you can go more but remember you also have the equivalent of 2 gallons of tart cherry juice in this batch.

Keep in primary for at least 7 (recommend 10 or more) days, then add you cherry juice concentrate and dry hops to the bottom of your secondary before transferring. Remember that dry hopping plus the added cherry concentrate may slow the fermentation process down so be ready for that and don't rush it. It should take about 3 weeks to complete but any time your working with fruit juice in beer it is a good idea to check it with a refractometer or hydrometer to make sure fermentation is complete.

Bottle/keg and carbonate to your liking and enjoy...

Notes: Really clear right from the fermentor, nice tasting and very clean, as about as good as you can get without a lager yeast, defiantly a winner beer

now in order to get this right I used the ramping up method, start cold at 59, let it set for 5 days then ramp to 65 go three days then 70 and go three more days without opening then keg and let the beer sit at 34 while carbing slowly at 12....after 5 days on co2 it was Hell of a Kolsch

Notes: Brewed using the 20L Braumeister.

Great body with nice mouth feel. Perfect lacing on the glass, slightly sweet with caramel notes from the amber malt. Good balance from the hops, they work well together. Not bitter but lovely hoppy after notes on the tongue. Not much on the noise which is weird.

Notes:
Size: 6 gal (post-boil)

Original Gravity: 1.066 (1.056 - 1.075)
Terminal Gravity: 1.012 (1.010 - 1.018)
Color: 5.0 (6.0 - 15.0)
Alcohol: 6.6% (5.5% - 7.5%)
Bitterness: 55 (40.0 - 70.0)

Boil for 60 minutes. Lid on at flameout, start chilling immediately.
Cool wort to 66F and aerate well. Ferment at 66-68F until complete.
Add dry hops once fermentation is nearing completion (ie: below 1.015). Dry hop for 7-10 days total.
Rack to brite tank (secondary), crash chill to near freezing (if possible), add 1 tsp of unflavoured gelatin dissolved in a cup of hot distilled water per 5 gallons of beer, and let clear for 2-3 days.
Package as you would normally. I keg and carbonate on the low side (around 2 to 2.2 volumes of C02) to minimize carbonic bite and let the hop/malt flavour come through.

Notes: Bn podcast.
Adapted, by using non-belgian yeast etc.
100% wheat or 50/50 wheat/pilsner.
Fermentation temp and O2 are crutical.
Start with 2lb fruit per gallon and adjust up by taste.

Ideally wild yeast and aged in barrels.

For wild yeast, leave open to air while cooling. If done after "2 nights of frost" there will be a better ratio of wild yeast to bacteria in air.
