Bought a sack of Avangard Pils so subbing Weyermann Barke for that. Also picked up WLP029 for the first time in a while. And going to add some ascorbic acid in the mash for canning protection later. Also dialing back the magnum addition to 10 from 12 grams for bittering. 28 IBU to 24 IBU.
Oct '23 - After the Mustange I went back to OYL-044 and we oxygenated (1 min on setting 1 Blichmann oxygen regulator). It hasn't cleared as of typing, but it finished drier than before which makes the bitterness stand out a bit more. I think it tastes like a "weak" german Pils with some kolsch-like esters rather than a kolsch. Went shopping for kolsch to compare and could only find Reissdorf. Reissdorf has a lingering bitterness but comes across initially as sweet and fruity. I prefer the Gaffel that I've been able to find, it's a little more hoppy, but still has the strong white wine/grape notes that I enjoy in a kolsch.
Previous batches:
3.5 kg Pils (Barke, used to use BoPils)
250 g Vienna
125 g Wheat
100 g Melanoidin
60 min
28 Tettnang
14 Perle
10 min
14 each Tett & Perle
Sep 2023 Last batch was really good with the Mustange. It took about a month, maybe 6 weeks for it to clear and then for the banana notes to subdue. Switching back to OYL-044 for batch 3 of v3 and keeping everything else the same.
Last batch was good, but the melanoiden was too much. Haze was definitely more in control than before and it wasn't nearly bitter enough. I wonder if the bitterness is dropping over time because the hops I've been using were from 2018. Kept frozen and vacuum sealed, but still "older". I've also been using a chloride heavy water chemistry and I'm going to shift more towards balanced. Gaffel has some sweetness, but finishes dry on the tongue.
New Tett 21 4.5%
Contessa 8% 1oz - pear and tea-like notes could be good late addition in future batch
Switching from OYL-044/WLP-029 to Mustange from BB for a go. "Lagerlike" suggests it might be cleaner than my usual, which is not ideal so will ferment on higher end.
I've made the original recipe about 13 times and it's been good to me. The last batch had a DMS issue due to a process problem, but I bought some Gaffel and Reissdorf and realized I was off more than I realized in terms of recipe.
Going to cut the wheat and vienna a bit, add some melanoiden to fake decoction a bit. Using WLP029/OYL-044, perle and tettnang for now. Keeping the ABV on the lower end, hoping for more clarity. Subbing out Barke for BoPils and watching my process more (collecting drips from the hood back in the kettle was the issue).
--- Notes carried over from 2.1
Going back to the original recipe more. The Lida Kviek was nice, but it wasn't the same. I've drifted away on the Yeast and the hops a bit.
Updating with more recent ingredients I have on hand. Using OYL-044 more nowadays due to lesser WLP availability nearby Seems like the same yeast so far. |

Notes: My mash tun is a 10 gallon size, and this brew has it about 35-40% full. It does very poorly at this volume, so the 2 mash 'infusion' steps that add about 1/2 gallon of boiling water are really just there to help it regulate a good mash temp over the 90 minutes.
It's really intended to be more of a single step mash @152 but these adjustments are just for my equipment.
Recommend bagging the strawberries to minimize the haziness.
All the salts/soda/acids pertain to my water profile.
When I added the strawberries (and they thawed) the gravity went up by about 3pts. My OG was more like 1.055 and 1.008 FG. |

Notes: This is the best homebrew I've made to date!
I made the following changes from the recipe found at: https://beerandbrewing.com/breakside-brewery-ipa-recipe/
-Increased 2-row from 8.75lb. to 10 lb.
-Increased "Light Crystal" from 1.125 lb. to 1.5 lb and used Caramel Malt 10L.
-Increased Light Munich from 12 oz. to 1 lb.
-Used 18g Cascade (6%AA) instead of Centennial at 10 min.
-Used Cascade instead of Chinook at whirlpool
-Used Cascade instead of Chinook at end of fermantation/dry hop. (I have 5 lbs of Cascade I need to use up!)
-Used 20g of SafeAle US-05 instead of WLP001.
-Finally, I made water adjustments listed under "Other Ingredients" based on my local water profile in order to reach the targets shown.
DIRECTIONS:
Add brewing tablets/salts/acids as needed to water and mix well until fully dissolved. Add grains. Mash at 153°F (67.2°C) for 30 minutes targeting a pH of 5.3, then mash out to 165°F (74°C). Add corn sugar at beginning of boil. Boil for 60 mins adding hops as specified. Add yeast nutrient with around 15-10 mins to ago. After flameout, add whirlpool hops when temp gets down to 170°F. Whirlpool for 20-30 mins. Cool wort to 66°F (19°C). Ferment at 68°F (20°C). Dry hop with the 50/50 mix of Citra and Cascade at the end of fermentation. Transfer off of the hops and yeast at day 11.
BREAKSIDE BREWER’S NOTES:
We target an 8:1 sulfate-to-chloride ratio for our hoppy beers. Use a moderate amount of gypsum, calcium chloride, and Epsom salts to Burtonize your water. You might try 4 g gypsum, 0.5–0.65 g calcium chloride, and 0.25 g Epsom salt as a starting point. |

Notes: Smooth, rich, velvety, not too roasty, not too dry! Coffee roast notes without a burnt flavor. GREAT beer.
Wyeast 1335 is an option, but the 1450 gives a luscious mouthfeel.
Finishes at 1.016-1.020, depending on yeast strain.
For dry yeast S04 would work, but keep it on the low temperature range, 62-65 if possible.
For Imperial, use A10.
