Notes: Used Rye LME from Northern Brewer.

Am liking the Pacific Gem hops a lot-but they are aggressive and would not add any more than 2 oz. (Cedar/herbal/dark berry, and uncomplicated/clean bittering)

Should have used a blow off tube - the Kolsh yeast was very vigorous the first 2 days in primary.

Will be trying a chemical fining 3 days before bottling

Notes: This was my first all grain kit, purchased from Midwest Supplies. For ease of entry into all grain I decided to use the Brew In A Bag method. Since I decided to brew at more or less the last minute, I purchased a pair of 5 gal, nylon paint strainer bags and used those as my BIAB bags. They worked well, but it was a bit unwieldy wrangling 2 bags full of soaked grain out of my brew pot. I may try a larget bag next time, but have a feeling I may not be using the BIAB method for long, instead opting to make a mash tun.

Brewday actually went pretty smoothly. I used 3 gal of strike water at approximately 165* and surprisingly it gave me almost exactly 152* once everything was all mixed up in the brew pot. The brew pot did not hold temp very well, as I expected, but fortunately I had the foresight to immediately get a pot of water on the burner so that I could warm the mash as needed. I was able to keep it within a couple of degrees of the target mash temp the entire time and ended up using approximately 5 gallons of water total by the end of the mash.

One failing was that I did not tie off the tops of the bags, so I did get a small amount of grain spilled into the wort, but I was able to scoop it out with a small strainer as it was coming to the boil, along with some of the hot break.

The boil went well, but I think I had more evaporation than I expected, at the -15 min hop addition I checked my level and found I was about 1/2 gallon down, so I added some more water and kicked the burner into high gear to get it back to a boil quickly. This extended my overall boil time by about 5(ish) minutes.

This was my first time using a yeast smack pack. Followed the instructions on the back of the pack, and it had a good 5 hours to get going in the pack before I pitched. I spent a lot of time feeling the bag to ensure that I got the inner pack broken and shook it a ton to make sure it was mixed, but after nearly 5 hours there was was there ZERO additional bulging of the pack. The outside of the pouch got thoroughly sanitized prior to pitching so I'm not worried about contamination. Yeast was pitched at approximately 6pm yesterday (2013/01/13) but and as of 11am today (2013/01/14) there is absolutely zero fermentation activity. None. Concerning?

Hardware mod/improvement:
I took my Dremel with a cutting wheel to the lid of my brew pot and cut a notch for the chiller. It worked great and the hop bag did a nice job of filling the spaces in the notch, making for a pretty snug fit.
Also, I rigged a female hose fitting to a piece of hose for my chiller so that I could use hose water to chill. Did not want to purchase 2 bags of ice. I'm torn whether I want to keep using that method or go back to the 'recirculating chiller water through a cooler full of ice. Torn because I like using less water (ice) but don't like the additional cost of said ice and I'm too forgetful to make up a bunch of ice ahead of time.

Notes: 2nd attempt recipe. Doubled the hopping rate after 1st attempt was not very hoppy. In hindsight, should have kept the boil amount the same and used more later on. Will try dry hopping during lagering too.

Notes: Yuengling test recipe. Taken from two other Yuengling Lager clones and combined.
Edit - 3/17/20 - Brewed 2/22/20 as a scaled down batch ( supposed to be 1.1gal, excessive boil off resulted in 3 quarts into fermentor. Pre boil gravity 8 points low, but the high boil off resulted in hitting OG right on.) Initial tasting (before bottling) showed some kind of fruity esters? I dunno. We'll see what some bottle conditioning time does.
S-23 is SUPPOSED to give off fruity esters I found out, LOL. Perhaps I should have gone with S-189 yeast. Or better yet, the W-34/70 which is supposed to be virtually neutral. Bottled on 3/12/20. I also might try flip flopping the hops and use Cluster for the 60 minute addition.
Edit - July 6, 2020 - After I bottled this recipe, I brewed it again on 3/20/20 and flip flopped the hops. Kept everything else the same except I used some "mystery malt" that was given to me instead of the pilsner base malt. The guy said it was "just "2-row" " but didn't have the heart to tell him many grains are 2 row and that it could be anything LOL. In any case, the second batch I had a lot more volume in the mash and sparge (rinse) and ended up with about a gallon into bottles. 3 weeks carb and then into the fridge where they still are. I am planning to have two friends over to do a side by side with Yuengling Lager to see what's what.
Edit - Sept. 19, 2020, Taste tested these two side by side with Yuengling lager also and other tasters said the "mystery malt" one was preferred, I felt that that one was too "fruity" or something. I just don't care for that mystery malt I think. While tasting we mixed the two in the glass and it didn't taste too bad. So I brewed a third 1.1 gal test batch with half pilsner and half mystery malt in early August. It is still in the fermentation chamber. The first version (this recipe) was more malty IMO and tasted better. 9/19/2020 I have a starter of Fermentis W-34/70 German lager yeast going for tomorrow's brew of a proper 5.5 gallon batch of this. Hopefully this will become one of my staples.
Edit - 1/2/21 - Finally tapped the keg several weeks ago. Have been nursing this as it is so good. I don't want it to go empty. Purchased supplies to make another batch, the only change made was the main malt from Weyermann to Dingemans. I'll note any changes in flavor. Also, this tastes similar to Yuengling, but it is definitely its own lager. I'll leave the name on here "Yuengling Style Lager", but at home I'm calling it "My Pennsylvania Lager" since I changed the recipe enough and it's no longer really a clone, even though it's quite similar.

Notes: Note to all - this is an attempt at a CASKED type ale. It might work as bottled beer, it might not. It is EXPERIMENTAL.

This is an English Strong Bitter (old style cask ale taste profile) a Golden Strong Bitter with a Cask Malt flavor. Originally made by Sam Smith Brewery, one of my favorite UK Breweries.

Mash in with all grains at 140 initially, raising the temperature while stirring to 151 to hold for 90 minutes. Batch sparge with an additional 12 quarts of water to collect 6 gallons of sweet wort.

Bring the wort to a boil and add the hops. (Yes, this is in the recipe, but I initially tried the calculator at 30 minutes and I had a more sedate 43 IBUs. Thought about splitting it at 45 minutes...but it does have raw brown sugar introduced 7 days before bottling or kegging - this should provide a kind of "casked" taste as the yeast should re-ferment. Yeah - this can be a disaster...wondering if I might make a tiny little batch and see what happens if I secondary it in a minikeg - no gas, pinch of yeast - like you would for a REAL cask. I think I would need a spunding valve to offgas the excess CO2.)

The recipe calls to add the molasses and sugar, dissolved in a little wort, added "during the boil". I wouldn't add it until 15 minutes prior to the end, so it has less of a chance to scorch and burn. At the same time, add the whirlfloc tablet and yeast nutrient.

The modifications so far.
Recipe was for 20 quarts - I needed 5.5 in the fermentor so I can guarantee 5 gallons in the keg. So I raised the fermentables to:

7 lbs of 2 row from 5 lbs
12 ozs of Torrified Barley from 8 oz
10 ozs of light crystal from 6 oz

Used Windsor instead of "Brewer's Yeast" - suited the final gravity

Messed around with the hop schedule - if you put them all in for 90 minutes, you get 60+ IBUs which is way out of character for a strong bitter - 50 IBUs is about tops. So I changed the Fuggles to 2 oz from 2.5 after I made the fuggles go in at 60 minutes and the Goldings at 30. That gets you to 48 IBUs.
