Notes: Another split batch: 5 gallons with T-58 and dry-hopped with 2 oz saaz; and 5 gallons with S-05 and dry-hopped with 2 oz of cascade.
Oats are toasted.
Brew Day Complete: Somehow ended up with more beer at a higher OG than planned. Efficiency up to 87% from 73% normally. First brewday since June - went very smoothly. Was trying for a mash temp of 156F to maintain some body in what was supposed to be a very low alcohol beer. Hit 152F but with a higher OG so maybe that will be ok. Will double the dry hop to 2 oz from the original 1 oz.
Day after brewing, T-58 has kicked in, S-05 has not. Sat on all ingredients for a month or more so am a little worried about viability. However, the T-58 was the yeast with the past best-by date.
Took a Refractometer reading 11/14 and got 5.1 for the S-05 and 6.3 for the T-58. The T-58 seems to be still working a little. Using the Brewer's Friend calculator that puts them at over 6% ABV. A little stronger than I originally planned, but that's ok. The small samples I pulled make me very optimistic these will both be great and quite different from each other. I am letting them ride for a couple more days but will keg on 11/19 at the latest to be ready to tap for Thanksgiving.

Notes: 1. Tratar 10 Litros de Água conforme target para Light Lager, favorecendo pouco corpo e pouco amargor.
2. Elevar os 10 litros para uma temperatura de 45ºC e então adicionar os maltes.
3. Manter a temperatura em 42ºC durante 10 minutos para a primeira rampa de temperatura, a beta-glucanase, cujo objetivo é diminuir a viscosidade do mosto devido a grande concentração de cereais não maltados.
4. Elevar a temperatura para 50ºC e manter durante 15 minutos, onde a ação das proteases estará ocorrendo na chamada parada proteica, cujo objetivo é quebrar as cadeias maiores de proteínas (devido a alta quantidade de trigo), diminuindo assim a viscosidade e corpo da cerveja.
5. Faltando pouco tempo para acabar a proxima etapa, tratar mais 13 litros de água e elevar eles a temperatura de 80ºC, preparação para a lavagem dos grãos após o mash-out. Nosso objetivo é utilizar 11 litros apenas, mas seguiremos adicionando até ter uma OG pré-boil de aproximadamente 1.031.
6. Elevar a temperatura para 64ºC e manter por, pelo menos, 50 minutos, sempre fazendo o teste do Iodo. Beta-Amilase irá transformar o amido em maltose, o alimento para as leveduras. Após os 50 minutos, ou o teste do iodo estar quase bom, subiremos a temperatura para 68 graus nessa reta final, para não deixar a cerveja totalmente sem corpo.
7. Uma vez passando pelo teste do Iodo, elevar a temperatura a 78ºC (não passando 79ºC de forma nenhuma) e manter por pelo menos 12 minutos, para a inativação das enzimas.
8. Realizar o sparge (caso não tenha feito fly-sparge) e então a lavagem dos grãos, adicionando agua tratada a 80ºC até atingir uma OG pré-boil de aproximadamente 1.031, o que nos dará uma OG de aproximadamente 1.046.
9. Realizar a fervura normalmente, 60 minutos devem bastar, onde a primeira adição de lupulos será aos 15 minutos de fervura, 45 minutos para a conclusão. A proxima adição de lupulos será faltando 30 minutos para o fim da fervura.
10. Faltando 10 minutos para o fim da fervura, adicionamos a semente de coentro, triturada.
11. Faltando 5 minutos para o fim da fervura, adicionamos em uma hop bag as raspas de lima e de limão, e o capim limão. Adicionamos também, fora da hop bag, 1/2 unidade de Whirfloc.
12. Ao desligar o fogo, aguardar 10 minutos com panela fechada antes de tirar a hop bag com as raspas e ervas. Após aguardar os 10 minutos, faremos um Whirpool vigoroso com o mosto ainda quente.
13. Após feito o Whirpool, aguardaremos pelo menos 10 minutos (com o mosto tampado) e então iniciaremos a resfriar o mosto utilizando um chiller de contra-fluxo + gelo com o intuito de baixar a temperatura o mais rapido possível, em menos de 10 minutos.
14. Após atingir nosso target de 23~26ºC (Iniciando fermentação em temperatura alta), inoculamos um fermento previamente hidratado (WB-06) e levaremos o fermentador a geladeira, regulada em 21ºC durante os primeiros dois dias.
15. No terceiro dia de fermentação, abaixaremos a temperatura para 20ºC e assim seguirá até o termino da fermentação primária (duas semanas, FG estabilizada).
16. Fermentação secundária a 25ºC durante 3 dias, incrementando 1,5ºC/dia.
17. Cold Crash, geladeira no máximo (limite de 0ºC, na pratica será algo em torno de 6ºC) por, pelo menos, duas semanas. Iniciado o processo de maturação + Cold Crash.
18. Passadas as duas semanas de maturação (minimo), a cerveja será envasada com uma quantidade de 8g/Litro de açucar para primming durante pelo menos 10 dias, a temperatura ambiente.
19. Passado os 10 dias, só gelar e aproveitar a Lemon Soul Witbier.

Obs.: A FG desta receita está abaixo do aceitável na categoria WitBier, porém isso resultará numa elevada Drinkability, que é o real target da receita.

Notes: Step by step:

Steep crushed malts in three gallons of water at 150º F for 30 min. Remove grains from wort, add malt syrup and powder and bring to a boil. Add Cascade and Nugget (bittering) hops, Irish moss and boil for 45 min. Add 0.25 ounce of Fuggle hops (flavor hops) for last 15 min. of the boil. Add 0.5 ounce of Fuggle (aroma) hops for the last two minutes of the boil.

When done boiling, strain out hops, add wort to two gallons cool water in a sanitary fermenter, and top off with cool water to 5.5 gallons. Cool the wort to 80º F, aerate the beer and pitch your yeast. Allow the beer to cool over the next few hours to 68-70º F, and ferment for 10-14 days. Bottle your beer, age for two to three weeks and enjoy!

Notes: Mash at 148F
Kill the flame, add the 0 min aroma hops, then run downstairs and chill quickly!
Drop the temp Pitch and Ferment at 66F for 10 days, then raise the temp to 70F (if you can) for the last 4-7 days.
Cold Crash to 44F for 2 days before racking to secondary to knock the yeast down. Rack to secondary and raise temp to 68F, then add dry hop.
First three days: 2oz dry hop
Second three days: 3oz dry hop addition
FYI these hops offer the highest percentage of cohumulone levels by weight. . .zowie!

1) Warm the dry yeast to room temperature
2) In a sanitized container, prepare 1/2 cup of sterile water at 95-105°F
3) Sprinkle the dry yeast on top of the water, trying to avoid setting up large, dry clumps.
4) Let sit 15 minutes, then gently stir.
5) When the yeast has reconstituted, gently stir again to form a cream and let sit another 5 minutes.
6) Carefully and slowly, adjust the temperature of the yeast to within 15°F of the wort temperature.
7) Pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel, ideally as soon as possible.

Notes: The last attempt of this recipe was really good, so as usual I'll have to throw a spanner in the works and try to mix it up a bit.

Instead of wheat malt, I subbed in Triticale Malt which apparently is like a characterful wheat malt (we'll see!) and instead of doing a kettle sour, I'm trying the Phiily Sour yeast that creates lactic acid during fermentation.

Mashing low to try and get more glucose in the wort to make the Philly Sour produce more sourness.

I'm also trying to see if a 30 min mash and boil still makes a good beer.

Update: It was way too sour at the low mash temp (64) so I put two small cans (400g each) of tinned apricots and a small tin of apricot nectar after the cold crash and let it sit for a day or two before racking into the keg. I don't normally like sweet beers but it turned out really good.
