Notes: Heat 1 Gallon water to 110 F and mix with Honey in a 7 Gal fermenting bucket. Shake to thoroughly mix and aerate. Add yeast nutrient and additional water 1 Gallon at a time, aerating after each addition, to a total of 6 Gal.

Use 1/4 cup of must to rehydrate Lalvin D-47 yeast. Chop raisins and cranberries, and add to must. Add yeast; primary fermentation should take between 14-21 days.

Rack to secondary with 2 Lbs of cranberries, ginger, orange peel, and cinnamon in a sanitized mesh bag for 10-14 days.

Rack to tertiary with pectic enzyme and fining agent for 7 days. Cold Crash if necessary for clarity before bottling. Add Potassium Sorbate at bottling to kill yeast and backsweeten if necessary.

Notes: This is a clone of Sexual Chocolate by Foothills Brewing Co., as found on TastyBrew.com blog (http://www.tastybrew.com/forum/thread/154676); as the finalized with a few tweeks to the recipe.

1: The blog said to NOT add cocoa powder after trial due to graininess in the final beer and the need to chill and re-rack, but he used 6 oz at secondary, dry. I shall use 3 oz, mixed with 6 oz boiled water that will hopefully moisten the cocoa and reduce graininess in the final product and encourage settling during secondary.

2. I'm going to use homemade chocolate syrup in place of Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Syrup at kegging.

3. My Homebrew Supply Store did not sell Wyeast anymore; so while the original recipe uses Denny's Favorite 50, the closest strain by White Labs is California V. So, we'll see how this goes!

Consider small addition of acidulated malt (2-4 ounces).

One of the dry hops could go at the beginning of fermentation.

Ferment at 55.

High carbonation - 2.9 or so.

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: Harvested Blanche de Bruxelles from two bottles

OG: 1.049, may be slightly higher as the test was quite warm.

Wort tastes very neutral. No sign of orange or coriander, but it's probably too sweet to notice.

10 days: 1.006(wtf?), Horrific burned rubber flavor/scent. Absolutely undrinkable. Racked to a secondary.

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.
