Notes: Kettle Sour Procedure:
1) Mash at normal temp (67 C), boil for 15 min to sanitise.
2) Cool to 40 C, test pH and adjust to pH 4.5 with lactic.
3) Pitch yoghurt and purge with CO2, ferment at 40 C with heat wrap till pH 3.5

Batch #4 - 3/12/20 (Eff.: 68 %, Att.: %, ABV: %)
Made for the guys at Evolve Espresso
- Mash vol.: 31.5 L, Pre (sour)-boil vol.: 29 L, Batch vol.: 23 L
Substitutes:
- Gladfield Red Back (500g) in for Carared (550g)
- Wai-iti (finally got it) in for Riwaka, straight swap
- Everything else the same as previous
Pre-soured with 13 ml of Lactic acid (88%) and left for 48 hrs.
10/12/20 - SG: 1011 (Tilt), upped temp to 22 C
11/12/20 - SG: 1010 (Tilt)
12/12/20 - SG: 1009 (Tilt), added vanilla extract (Queen brand), rose water and frozen raspberries (1.5kg) before cold crashing.

Batch #3 - 19/01/20 (Eff.: 61 %, Att.: 75 %, ABV: 4.9 %)
- Mash vol.: 31.5 L, Pre-boil vol.: 28 L, Batch vol.: 23 L
Substitutes: Dropped pilsner malt down to 5 kg from 5.5 to bring ABV down a bit and make it a bit more 'sessionable'.
- pH 5.87 (still dropping slowly), added 10 ml (88%) lactic acid to pH 5.04, added another 3 ml to pH 4.89, added another 2 ml. (15 ml in total), pitched 2 table spoons of yoghurt, purged with CO2 and set temp to 39 C.
21/01/20 - Boiled at 10:30 AM, 27 L volume. Cooled slowly to 20 C as the day was fucking stinking hot and the pool and ground water were warm, dry pitched x2 US-05 into non-aerated wort (I'll see if this affects the beer)
24/01/20 - SG: 1021
27/01/20 - SG: 1014
28/01/20 - FG: 1013, 1.5 kg of frozen raspberries added, cold crashed.
01/02/20 - Kegged and carbed, PSI for 2:45 min.
Added: 15 ml of Rose water and 30 ml of vanilla extract
05/02/20 - This one is a banger, could be the tastiest one yet.

Batch #2 - 13/10/19 (Eff. 65%, Vol. 22.5, Att. 80%)
- Added potassium metabisulfite to this batch pre-mash.
- pH 5.87 (OG: 1051) - 12 ml Lactic acid to bring pH to 4.9
- Same heating set up and water profile as Batch #1
15/10/19 - After 48 hrs pH 3.79, tastes same as first batch (strangely) with a little funky peach, ferm. temp. sat around 37 C for that time.
- Had to cut the boil down to about 35 min as I was rushed to finish, dry pitched x2 yeast to aerated wort.
25/10/19 - FG: 1011, added 1.5 kg frozen raspberries, tasting quite sour but nothing crazy.
1/11/19 - Cold crashed
3/11/19 - Kegged and carbed through purged line and keg. Seems to taste a little 'heavier' than the first but probably just confirmation bias on the higher ABV. Cafe boys tasted slight biscuit malt finish.

Procedure - https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/funkwerks-5-tips-kettle-sours/

Batch #1 - 30/06/19 (Eff. 61%, Vol. 21 L, Att. ??%)
- OG: 1050 after 15 min sanitise boil, pH 5.42, added 5 ml Lactic acid 88% (drops to pH 5.00), added another 4 ml Lactic (drops to pH 4.80)
- Used heat wrap and temp controller set to max. (39 C) and left covered in lounge room.
1/7/19 - pH 3.75 at 5 PM (26 hrs) mildly sour with a fruity (maybe peach sweet tea) flavour, not bad at all, left it carry on for a few more hours.
2/7/19 - pH 3.57 at 8 AM, tasting still of peach tea and smells like wet malt and damp dog. Boil started at 8:15 AM, boil shortened to 50 min, chilled and aerated, x2 packs of yeast dry pitched and aerated again after 40 min.
10/7/19 - SG: 1019 (hyd.) 1034 (refract.), tastes pretty sour, added 1.5 kg of raspberries loose and it started bubbling again pretty hard overnight.
11/7/19 - Cold crashed to 1.5 C
13/7/19 - Added 30 ml Vanilla extract and 15 ml of Rose water, kegged and carbed at 30 psi for 2:30 min. Tastes of raspberry up front with subtle vanilla and a hint of rose water. Terrible idea to add the raspberries without a hop sock, they are wreaking havoc with the keg poppets and taps.

Substitutes
- Gladfield Pilsner instead of Pale Malt
- Gladfield Dark Crystal & Gladfield Shepards Delight (50/50 mix) instead of Simpsons DRC
- US 05 instead of Belle Saison (I hate saison yeast flavours)
Notes (see photo of recipe)
- Riwaka instead of Wai-iti hops.
- Live yogurt to add lacto. only, couldn't get only Lacto yogurt at Woolies, went with Vaalia (as per photos).
- Suggested water profile: CaCl (110ppm) & CaSO4 (55ppm)
- CO2 purge the fermenter and bubble CO2 through it as it sours to drive off 02.

Notes: 2 Ziarenka Tonki na 18l, zalane bourbonem na tydzien.
Ziarna kakaowca ok 0,5kg podpieczone 10-12min w piekarniku. Laktozy ok 0.2-0.3kg(Słabo odfermentowało, więc poszło mało laktozy).
Laktoza dodana przy rozlewie.
Drożdze FM52 gęstwa, ale US-05 tez by sie nadały.
Świetna faktura, gęste, oleiste, słodkie. Troche sie moze ułożyc.

Notes: This is a "shell" recipe I use as a reminder/copied template for the typical stepped mash profiles used with the Speidel Braumeister and the effect on final product. Also useful for Grainfathers or any other programmable stepped mash system.

DocD

44 (30-52) 0-20 min.
Beta Gluconase - DO NOT SKIP for wheat beers or if many (20%) adjuncts (oats, rye, raw barley, wheat). Beta glucan can otherwise turn wort to jelly. Also, necessary if classic European malts with only moderate modification. If actually trying to use this step to lower pH >>>30 minutes.
-Deactivated at 50C

52 (50-55) 20 min.
Protease - Breaks up large proteins, decreased haze. Smaller proteins good for head and body. Many modern malts have this step completed during the malting, do not skip with very traditional old style malts. However, can also result in the loss of characteristics from modern malts where a specific protein profile is created by the malter for head retention, mouthfeel, etc ...
Peptidase - Produces free amino nitrogen, FAN can help fermentation, too much can produce off flavors. Often deactivated with kilning.
-Deactivated at 66C/72C

58 (55-60) rare step
Limit Dextrinase - For dry dry lagers, this enzyme is one reason for classic two step mashed Lagers. Will breakdown sugars not manageable by Beta and Alpha. Will remove much of the body from Dextrin malts.
-Deactivated at 60C

63 (60-65) 20-40 min.
Beta Amylase - Produces maltose. Long here means highly fermentable sugars, therefore dryer beer. Some malts with dextrin can add body even when long maltose stage is used: Carapils, DextraPils.
Low 60-61C, and long 40 min all fermentable wort resulting in dryer beer.
Higher 65C, and shorter 20 min for full body beers where many non-fermentable sugars remain in the wort.
-Deactivated at 72C

72 (68-72) 35 min.
Alpha Amylase - Produces a variety of sugars, including maltose and some unfermentable sugars.
Low for light all fermentable - 69.
Higher for full body unfermentable - 72 (increasing deactivation of Beta)
-Deactivated at 79C

Mash out 78C no more than 10 min, if sparge, no higher than 78C or risk bitterness from tannin extraction.

SINGLE TEMP WINDOW for my "SMaSTaSH" trials : 64-70
Single Malt @ Single Temp & Single Hop

Copy paste from web in Fahrenheit for non SI folks:
* Phytase (86-126 F) – Lowers the pH of the mash. Lowering the mash pH has a number of benefits, though a Phytase rest is rarely used by modern brewers.
* Debranching (95-112 F) – Helps to increase the solubility of starches resulting in increased extraction for certain malts.
* Beta Glucanese (95-113F) – Breaks down the gummy heavy starches, which can help improve stability and extraction, particularly for mashes high in proteins and adjuncts such as wheat.
* Pepidase (113-131F) – Produces free amino nitrogen, which can aid in fermentation.
* Beta Amylase (131-150F) – Produces maltose, the main sugar fermented in beer.
* Alpha Amylase (154-162F) – Produces a variety of sugars, including maltose and also some unfermentable sugars. Mashing at the higher end of this range produces more unfermentables and therefore more body in the finished beer.
