Notes: Yummy! Extra hoppy, which is fine, was thinking as good as the previous year's Honey Pale Ale was, it was a bit on the low side for hop flavor.

This batch is more assertive in the hops, nice golden color. OG and FG were within a hundredth of a point of predicted...WOOHOO!!

The Safale S-04 generated an interesting yeast cake on the bottom of the fermenting bucket. It was thick and more solid than any other I can remember, and it looked almost like a pancake with a spongy (pock-marked) appearance. It stayed intact for the longest time during the bottling process.

Fermented for 14 days at 71° the entire time, in a 6.5 gal plastic bucket. OG was 1.073 and FG was 1.017 for 7.35% calculated ABV. Right on target! This was the first time I tried bottling with shrink-wrap labels and they worked beautifully.

Notes: The Mash
• Heat 2 quarts (1.9 liters) of water to 160°F (71°C).
• Add grain (This is called “mashing in.” Take note of jargon. Or don’t).
• Mix gently with spoon or spatula until mash has consistency of oatmeal.
Add water if too dry or hot. Temperature will drop to ~150°F (66°C).
• Cook for 60 minutes at 144-152°F (63-68°C). Stir every 10 minutes, and use
your thermometer to take temperature readings from multiple locations.
• You likely don’t need to apply heat constantly. Get it up to temperature,
then turn the heat off. Monitor, stir, and adjust accordingly to keep in range.
• After 60 minutes, heat to 170°F (77°C) while stirring constantly (“Mashing
Out”).

The Sparge
• Heat additional 4 quarts (3.8 liters) of water to 170°F (77°C).
• Set up your “lauter tun” (a strainer over a pot).
• Carefully add the hot grain mash to the strainer, collecting the liquid that
passes through.
• This liquid is called “wort” (pronounced “wert”). It will be your beer.
• Slowly and evenly pour 170°F (77°C) water over the mash to extract the
grain’s sugars.
• You want to collect 5 quarts (4.75 liters) of wort. You will lose about 20%
to evaporation later on, so you want to start with a bit more than you’ll end
with.
• Re-circulate wort through grain once.

The Boil
• In a pot, heat wort until it boils.
• Keep boiling until you’ve hit the “hot break” (Wort will foam - you may
need to reduce heat slightly so it doesn’t boil over.)
• Stir occasionally. All you want is a light boil – too hot and you lose
fermentable sugars and volume.
• The boil will last 60 minutes. Start your timer and add in the rest of the
ingredients at these times:
- Add 1/6 Northern Brewer Hops at start of boil.
- Add 1/6 Northern Brewer Hops at 15 minutes.
- Add 1/6 Northern Brewer Hops at 30 minutes.
- Add 1/6 Northern Brewer Hops at 45 minutes.
- Add 1/6 Northern Brewer Hops at 55 minutes.
- At 60 minutes turn off heat, add remaining Northern Brewer Hops.
• Twenty percent of the wort will have evaporated in this step leaving you
with 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of wort. If your boil was a bit high, the surface area
of your pot extra large, or you brewed on a really hot day, you may have
less than the full amount. Don’t worry – you just reduced your beer a bit
too much, but you can add more water in the next step.

Fermentation
• Place brew pot in an ice bath until it cools to 70°F (21°C).
• Once cooled, place strainer over funnel and pour your beer into the
glass fermenter. Yeast needs oxygen. The strainer helps aerate your wort
and clarify your beer (as well as catch any sediment from going into the
fermenter). Add tap water to bring wort up to 1 Gallon mark if level is low.
• “Pitch” yeast. (Toss half of the packet in.)
• Shake aggressively. You’re basically waking up the yeast and getting more
air into the wort.
• Attach sanitized screw-top stopper to bottle. Slide rubber tubing no more
than 1” (2.5 cm) into the stopper and place the other end in small bowl of
sanitizer. You’ve just made a “blow-off tube”. It allows CO2 to escape.
• Let sit for two or three days or until vigorous bubbling subsides. This is
when fermentation is highest. You may notice bubbles and foam at the
top of the beer. After bubbling calms down, clean tubing and ready your
airlock.
• Sanitize, then re-assemble airlock, filling up to line with sanitizer.
• Insert airlock into hole in stopper.
• Keep in a dark place for two weeks without disturbing other than to show
off to friends. (If beer is still bubbling, leave sitting until it stops.)
• In the meantime, drink beer with self-closing swing tops, or ask for empties
at a bar that has some. If you have a bottle capper and caps, you can save
two six packs of non-twistoff beers instead.

Two Weeks Later: Bottling
• Thoroughly rinse bottles with water, removing any sediment.
• Mix remaining sanitizer with water.
• Fill each bottle with a little sanitizer and shake. Empty after two minutes,
rinse with cold water and dry upside down.
• Dissolve 3 tablespoons honey with 1/2 cup water. Pour into a sanitized pot.
You will be siphoning your beer into the same pot in the next steps.
- Carbonation comes from adding sugar when bottling, so if you filled
your jug with less than the full gallon in the last step, use less honey
when bottling. Using the full amount can result in your beer being
over-carbonated.
• Siphoning (It all happens pretty fast. You may want to practice on a pot of
water a few times.) To see it in action first, watch the How to Bottle video at
brooklynbrewshop.com/instructions.
A. Attach open tubing clamp to tubing.
B. Fill tubing with sanitizer.
C. Attach sanitized tubing to the short curved end of your sanitized
racking cane. Attach the black tip to the other end - it will help
prevent sediment from getting sucked up. It will probably be a snug
fit, but you can get it on there.
D. Pinch tubing clamp closed.
E. Remove screw-cap stopper and place racking cane into jug, just
above the sediment at the bottom (“trub”).
F. Lower end of tubing not connected to racking cane into sink.
Suction will force beer up and through the racking cane and tubing.
Open tubing clamp, let sanitizer flow into sink until beer just starts
to flow out of the tubing, then clamp shut. Open clamp on tubing,
allowing beer to flow into pot with sugar solution. Tilt jug when beer
level is getting low, but be careful in not sucking up the trub.
• Siphon beer from pot into bottles, pinching tube clamp to stop flow after
each bottle.
• Close bottles.
• Store in a dark place for 2 weeks.

Two Weeks Later: Enjoying
• Put beers in the fridge the night before you drink them.
• Drink. Share with friends if you’re the sharing type

Notes: Made some tweaks recently to my batch #1.

Compared to 2016 Heady Topper mine was coming out slightly too dark by 1 or 2 SRM and was also slightly too candy-ish, which I attribute to both the Caramalt and the Amarillo hops %s. I reduced both in this batch. Actually subbed Comet for Amarillo. I also swapped Turbinado (Sugar in the Raw) with plain old corn sugar (Dextrose) to eliminate even more darkness/residual sweetness. Finally I upped the Columbus and lowered the Simcoe.

For the Malt Bill use the following brands:
Thomas Fawcett Pearl Malt
Thomas Fawcett CaraMalt
Canada Malting White Wheat Malt

Primary fermentation target 68*ambient. Allow to rise to the low 70s as primary fermentation nears completion.

"Conan" yeast is essential for this recipe to turn out correctly. I use the Yeast Bay's "Vermont Ale." There are a few other brands that are based on the Conan strain. Harvesting Conan from cans of Heady Topper would be best. If you can't get Conan, you could try English strains Wyeast 1968, White Labs 007, or Safale US-04, but they may not attenuate low enough and could result in too much sweetness.

For the bittering hop addition use 10 ml of HopShot at 90 minutes (boil). This should add 117 IBUs.

Allow wort to cool to around 180 degrees and add whirlpool hop addition.

Split the Dry Hop into 2 additions over 8 days (4 days each.

Note: Shooting for 130 IBUs total, mostly from the hopshot. The very late additions should not have noticeable utilization (maybe 10%).

Notes: For the vanilla bean, open the bean, scrape the seeds, chop up the husk and add everything to the tincture jar.
For the cinnamon stick, break up the stick so that you can cover with 1-2 Tbsp of rum.
Make a Tincture using 2 Tbsp of light Puerto Rican rum or a Coconut Rum, adding a scraped vanilla bean & cinnamon stick.

1 week after brew day, prepare to rack to a secondary.
Preheat oven to 150° F, toast coconut until golden brown (about 40 minutes). Turn the coconut every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting. Rack beer onto the toasted coconut & your rum tincture.

Notes: This is basically the NB recipe for St. Paul Porter, but swapping Chinook and Vanguard hops for the kit's Cascade and Cluster. I was going for more of a Troeg's Dead Reckoning and it worked. Brewed 5 gallons, had a dinner party with 3 couples and pretty much finished the whole batch in a night. Needless to say, a good time was had by all. Will brew this every October for December drinking.

Notes: MASH INFO: Single infusion/Batch Sparge/Full Body Mash in with 14.38 quarts of water at 174. Should equalize to 156 degrees. Mash at 156 for 60 minutes. Batch Sparge twice with 2.5 gallons of water at 175 degrees. Boil for 60 minutes using the hop schedule listed in the ingredients section. Add Nibs to primary after fermentation has ended, do not rack beer to a secondary. Just add the nibs to the primary fermentor. 2-3 days before adding them, soak the nibs in just enough Vodka to cover the nibs. Then dump them in, vodka and all, let sit on the nibs for 7-10 days max, 3 to 4 days seems about right.
