Notes: Brewed 8/31/14. Strike water was 172F and I hit 154F. Recirculated 2.5gal. It was still a bit high so I had to add about a quart of cold water and then a quart of hot water I hit 150F. Mash pH was 5.2 which is a bit lower than predicted, was supposed to be about 5.5 but should be fine. Hit 78% in kettle efficiency which might be a bit low, not sure. The mill was a bit difficult to use and I had adjusted the crush so maybe that was a factor. Everything went pretty well. Hit the predicted numbers and volume on the nose. Couldn't get it chilled past about 76F so I had to ice bath it for a minute before pitching but I don't think that was a big deal. Temp ended up being about 66/67F at pitching. 9/1 beer in the morining was sitting at about 62F. Evening time it was up to 66F. 9/2 I iced it down a bit last night and the temp was still at 66F this morning. Chilled it during the middle of the day and by night it was at 65F. 9/3 I chilled it a bit last night and it was 66F in the morning. By evening it had raised to about 68F. 9/4 it held at 68F but I decided to cool it a little bit and let it slowly rise throughout the day. By evening it was about 70F. 9/5 I took the beer out of the swamp bath and it was sitting at about 72F, might get a bit hotter as the ambient is around 75F. Dry hopped and took a gravity reading on 9/19/14. Racked to keg 9/26/14. Beer is quite tasty. Not as hop forward as I thought it would be, more "balanced" but for sure hoppy. Might be due to using older hops that there is a bit of a lack of aroma. |

Notes: Why? Why not? No one really makes a single hop DIPA and lives to the tale. The recipe is pretty standard. It's designed to be a study on Moutere hops. Everything is within spec for the BJCP guidelines. Moutere is brand new to the market. Characteristics of: grapefruit, tropical fruits, passionfruit, hay, pine, and baking spices. The hop has a massive oil content of 1.5-1.9. Furthermore, high alphas and low cohumulone make it good for bittering as well (hence no bittering addition). Could be fun to brew! |

Notes: Bridging the gap between the classic American Pale Ale
and West Coast IPA, Kama Citra is a deliciously decadent
session ale bursting with provocative flavors. Kama
Citra’s enticing and inviting appearance will open one’s
mind to prolonged sessions of sensual sipping pleasure.
Pouring a tantalizing golden-amber, the seductive
hop aroma gently gives way to a sturdy, yet flexible
malt backbone with a delicate touch of silky caramel that
supports the highly suggestive combination of juicy tropical
and citrus hop flavor that follows, leading to a satisfying
finish. With an O.G. of 1.050 there’s no need to deny
yourself what you know your heart truly desires: more
and more of this undeniably irresistible libation. Indulge
your wild side and experience the Kama Citra. |

Elendig utbytte på denne, 50%. Planen var 3,5-4%.
Aner ikke hvorfor, mulig innmeskinga starta ved for høy temp? Har ikke termometeret for øyeblikket, bruker kun termostaten på BB30.
24.sept. Deler opp batchen i to, 12/12 liter. Flasker den ene som den er. Tilsetter spraymalt på den andre for å øke Fg og OG. Vurderer også tørrhumling med hallertauer M. |

One boilover - my first!
OG was only 1.048, way below my estimate of min. 1.053...can't explain why. I was kind of drunk and pitched my yeast before extracting the sample for gravity measurement. Maybe that? Probably not? Did I remove too much yeast in my turkey baster? I'll find out if it doesn't ferment / ferment enough.
03/13: Vigorous fermentation!! The airlock I bought didn't have the bottom cut out so no CO2 wasn't escaping - it looked like it was about to blow. I considered a blow-off tube, but I had roughly 1.5 gallons of head-space and didn't think it was necessary. So I put a real airlock back in and the bubbling was very intense. Probably 2 bubbles a second!!
03/25: Bought 4.4 lbs of Canadian wild blueberries from Hartmans for $17. Pre-frozen. After much deliberation, I decided to heat them up for 15 mins at 170F. I let it cool to probably 35C and added it to secondary. I racked beer over top of it and inserted air lock. I probably lost about 0.2 lbs of berries during transfer (messy!). Im really excited to see how this turns out.
Expectations: Hopefully wheat extract pairs well with the blueberry, amber LME and crystal 40L will hopefully add some sweetness and colour, flowery and spicy notes from cascade hops, 3787 yeast will impart some complex fruity esters and phenolics as usually seen in Belgian dubbels or triples, finally 4.4 lbs of blueberries in secondary for two weeks should hopefully impart a subtle to moderate blueberry taste and colour.
Bottled on April 6, 2014. Forgot to take gravity reading - stupid me! I expect it will be 5.0% based on OG, but I can't be sure of the attenuation.
Final bottle on 07/20:
Last bottle is still overcarbed.
Appearance: Deep dark dirty purple. More brown than purple. Probably because of the crystal malt. Dont use next time. Long lasting head, very bubbly.
Aroma: Primarily fruity, slight blueberry.
Taste: Hard to get over the carbonation but notes of dark fruit. Very crisp as a result of the carb.
Mouthfeel: Very light body, very prickly.
Overall: Besides the overcarb, not a terribly bad beer. Ease up on the crystal next time. No amber next time either. Just wheat and 2-row. It makes it too complex, and not the good type. |
