Notes: 3.5 oz sugar was calculated from PB fit ingredients (coconut palm sugar - 2g/serving x 50 servings)

I double milled the grains this time - O.G. was 1.080 (gained efficiency)!

Make 1.5L starter using 5 oz DME

Add second addition of PB fit according to flavor in gravity samples - still add cocoa nibs 3 days before bottling (maybe)

Notes: Recipe for a classic Bohemian Pilsener

This is a 38L batch. Two 5-gallon fermenters, not the FastFermenter. It's too much work to only yield 26L.

It's a decoction mash too, so you need to have a second burner and a s/s pot that will hold up to 10L or so. Try to organize it so that the 2nd burner is close to the mash tun. You will have to carry 10L of hot steaming mash back and forth!

I BOUGHT A NEW S/S pot, with about twice the capacity as my current one so I can do larger decoctions without worry. So consider modifying the steps to start with a larger volume in the mash tun, which would require larger decoctions.

BUY A 3.5 Kw Induction Heater instead of using the gas burner. Safer, easier, and probably faster.

**YEAST**

My preference is ESCARPMENT LABS CZECH LAGER LIQUID YEAST but any true lager yeast could be used.

Set up a starter two days before the brew. It should follow the "Pro Brewer 1.75 lager" setting on the BF Yeast Calculator. Normally a two-step starter is required.

Note: increasing efficiency for this recipe. 55% is too low. For SaltMines5, it predicted 1.049 and I got 1.060. I've set it to 60%
and dropped total grist by .5 Kg.
**GRIST**
Increased it a bunch with salt mines 4, but maybe too much so, as I just said above, I'm dropping it by .5 Kg. Looking to get around 1.052, but I'm still cheating on the high side. Dial it in closer in the future. (SALT MINES 7 was very close to 1.052.)

700g acid malt is what was required for SALT MINES 7 and I still didn't get to 5.2. I've set this master to 700g but monitor this too.

**DECOCTION MASH**

Use mash cheat sheet at google drive in my beer and brewing folder.

Dough in (protein rest) and first decoction
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Bring HLT to 134F and dough in 19L.
* - Strike temp = 122 °F (50 °C). Hold for 10 minutes (maintain until return of first decoction)
* Pull a thick decoction: one-third to one-half the mash; s/s pot is ~80% full and weighs ~ 9.4 (10.9 Kg minus tare of 1.5)
* Heat the decoction to 150°F; hold for 10 minutes
* Heat the decoction to 162°F; hold for 10 minutes
* Heat the decoction to a boil; boil for 20 minutes. ('boil' means visible boil plus 208F thoughout, with lots of stirring.)

Beta Amylase rest and second decoction
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Return the decoction to the mash, strike temp = 144–147°F ; hold 15 minutes (Maintain with HERMS, if necessary, until return of second decoction.)
* Pull a second thick decoction one-quarter of the mash; s/s pot is ~65% full and weighs ~7.5 (9.0 Kg minus tare of 1.5)
* Heat the decoction to 162°F; hold for 10 minutes.
* Heat the decoction to a boil; boil for 10 minutes.

Alpha Amylase rest and mashout
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Return the second decoction to the mash, strike temp = 158°F; hold for 30 minutes.
* Use HERMS to raise temp to mashout 170F
* get a sample before you sparge. (For SaltMines5, the gravity was 1.096 at this point!)
* Sparge and lauter as usual

**HOPS**

Use 450 alpha points (my system - g * AA%) or 16 AAU (BF system - ounces times AA%) or 30 IBU (BF-reported) of a noble hop. Normally Saaz or Hallertau. Ideally, all of those values should line up with the same values.

Do the first wort hopping thing (https://byo.com/article/first-wort-hopping-techniques):
Take a quarter of your bittering hops and toss them in the kettle as soon as there is wort heating in it. Don't wait for it to reach a boil. Throw the rest in when it reaches a boil, and boil for the usual 60 minutes.

**FERMENTATION**
This recipe has occasionally had problems with sluggish fermentations. And DMS issues. Consider krausening in the future as a remedy for such problems. https://byo.com/mr-wizard/krausening-for-homebrewers/

Notes: The original version used buckwheat honey and the flavor didn't end up coming through at all so I'm not going to keep using it.

The last one used all MO for the base malt and it came out too bready. In the next one I'm going to split the base malt between MO and Golden Promise. That might reduce the breadiness some. People have reviewed Golden Promise as tasting a little more sweet and a little less bready so hopefully that change will get me where I'm hoping to be.

I didn't really taste or smell the typical English Yeast character so I'm going to use Windsor and Nottingham in the next one. Try to get some ester production out of Windsor before I pitch Nottingham in there to dry it out some.

Adding special b and pale chocolate should darken it and add some interesting flavor. I use that combo in my dark mild and I really like it a lot in that beer, hopefully it has the same affect in a barleywine.

I plan on skipping the simple sugars in the next one. I'm finding that over 11% abv is just not pleasant for me to drink. I can get between 10 and 11 on my gear so there's no reason to add the sugar to push it higher than that. It works better in a belgian quad or RIS, but I don't think it adds anything to an english barleywine. It's not supposed to be an aggressive beer, but a satisfying and comforting beer to drink by the fire when it's cold.

I might separate some of it out after fermentation to experiment some spices/oak/fruit etc...

Notes: trying to make hardywood singel but no attempts online! going off of this :
https://byo.com/component/k2/item/2827-belgian-blond-style-profile

adding the simple sugar to fermentor not during the boil but a couple days into fermentation. will probably dissolve in a little water.

meanwhile trying to hit the official hardywood singel stats : OG 1.056 ABV 6.2 SRM 4 IBU 30. I sense a little woodey or piney something in the beer so im adding a little more hops plus a flameout addition. adding decent amount of light crystal malt to try to achieve a little sweetness without sacrificing the color. probably gonna mash at 150 but try to stay on the cool side.

there is a kind of sour taste to the beer too so im not sure how to achieve that, but likely through yeast selection. still looking at yeasts...would oberon yeast be a candidate?

ogg tony suggests White Labs wlp500

aa on hallertau hersbuckler in this app was way different than german hallertau from the store so i bought too little hops. substituting east kent goldings a little in the bittering addition.

planning to add the sugar to minimal water (pint or two) bring to boil and boil down as much as possible. chill then add to fermentor on day 4 or 5.

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.
