Notes: Adapted from http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/grimm-brothers-brewhouse-snowdrop-kottbusser-recipe/
Strike temp 157.5 F with 7 gals and all grain. Starting mash temp 153.2. 152.0 F at 15 min, pH 4.9, added 1/2 tsp CaCO3. Temp boost at 30 min. Total mash time 60 min. Raise temp to 165F and remove spent grain.
Starting boil volume ~6.2 gal. Boil 75 min. Finishing hops added after flameout and whirlpool, ~10 min.
Final volume in fermenter 4.75 gal. Siphon did not hold draining the boiling kettle, dumped everything into the fermenter (SS brew bucket). Cooled with immersion coil in fermenter.
Oxygenate and pitch yeast at 64F. Original gravity 1.058.
Bottled after 2 weeks in fermenter. Yeast settles slowly in the bottle. Must bottle condition for 2 weeks, then add a week with bottles in fridge to lager in the bottle. Decant carefully, yeast sentiment is settled loosely at bottom of bottle.
With a clean pour, the beer is very clear and clean with light noble hop aroma and character. Oats add a unique dimension to the malt character.

Notes: Batch #1- 26/5/19 - Eff. 54% - Vol. 21L
Finger lime IPA, based on a Session IPA (4.6%) but upped ABV to around 5%
Substitutes;
- Gladfield Light Crystal for Caramalt
- Didn't get Mand. Bav. hops, Magnum was sent instead.
5/6/19 - SG: 1013, dry hopped.
9/6/19 - Added 120g of frozen/thawed finger lime pearls, looks very juicy and cloudy, SG: 1013.
12/6/19 - Cold crashed.
16/6/19 - Kegged, added 120g of frozen/thawed finger lime pearls. Tasting slightly of lime and very clean.
17/6/19 - Force carbed at 30psi for 2min 45 sec, pretty full keg with limited head space.
2/6/19 - Tastes of bitter lime, especially on the back, not too strong but next time I'll use more in season finger limes for a sweeter finish. This is quite well received and should do again.

Notes: 2.5 gallons of bottled spring water into sanitized fermenter. added 10lbs Kirkland Clover Honey and topped off water to ~ 3.75 gallons or Original gravity of 1.100. rehydrated 2 packets of lalvin ec-1118 with 95* bottled water. Pitched yeast along with 1 tsp of DAP and 1/2 tsp of fermaid K. temp initially 78* but cooled indoors to 70* and began fermentation within 8 hours. fermenter transferred to garage where temp dropped to 65*.
fermaid K additions
at pitch: 1/2tsp
24hrs: 1/2tsp
48hrs:1/2tsp
@ ~1.055:1/2tsp
Degassed twice a day for the first 3 days
stalled fermentation after 9 days at 1.060 for a few days. ferm temp dropped to 60* and pH was 2.9. added 2.5 grams of potassium carbonate, 1/2 tsp DAP, raised temp to 66* and re pitched. New pH 3.5 and fermentation has restarted. stppped fermentation with campden tabs and potassium sorabate at 1.010.
12/9/2018- back sweetened with 12 oz by weight of clover honey which made the final gravity 1.012. this gravity reading leads me to believe thatmy last gravtiy reading was wrong or fermentation is still going slowly somehow. will check gravity again in a month or so to determine is it is still fermenting. strong cardamom flavor and aroma needs age and more sweetnes |

| Notes: Should be ready fermented within 3 weeks. Secondary on Cornelius, 14 days without carbonation. 21 days carbonated to 2.5 Vol Co2. First attempt fermented to FG 1,014 in 3 weeks 10-12 degrees Celsius. The BC hop give the beer more body, and a long lasting, not to hoppy aftertaste. Next time I will use Irish Moss or Whirlfloc because it took a long time to clear it completely. Good luck:) |
