♦ SESSION NOTES:
United Kingdom - Crystal 45L was changed out to US Crystal 40 (Phantom).
American Munich Light 10L was changed out to Best Malz (German) Munich Malt (Phantom).
Changed first addition hop from 0.9 to 1.0 oz.
Phantom didn't have WLP810 in stock so San Francisco WLP840 American Lager was used as substitute!
Started with 8.00 gallons of water. Too much water. 13.5 pds of grain did not seem to absorb as much after sparging. had to boil extra half hours to get it down to 5.5 gals final amount. 8.00 gallons will be the max. Changed again. End of Brew: left with 5 gallons. Had to add 1/2 gallons for 5.50.

♦♦ Use 3 Vials of San Francisco Lager Yeast WLP810 @ 62° CHANGE! 2 vials of WLP840 American Ale Yeast will be used.

WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast.
This yeast is used to produce the "California Common" style beer. A unique lager strain which has the ability to ferment up to 65 degrees while retaining lager characteristics. Can also be fermented down to 50 degrees for production of marzens, pilsners and other style lagers.
Optimum Ferment Temp. 58-65°F (14-18°C)

WLP840 American Lager This yeast is used to produce American style lagers. Dry and clean with a very slight apple fruitiness. Sulfur and diacetyl production is minimal. Attenuation: 75-80% Flocculation: Medium Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 50-55°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

♦ STANDARD BREWING NOTES:

♦ Northern Brewer Hops - Origin and Description
Northern Brewer Hops is an England native who is seeing its days live out mainly in Germany and the U.S. There is a separate U.S. hops variety that was bred in the United States that has similar properties. This dual use hops had a higher alpha acid content for the time, however super alphas have doubled, even tripled the content since back in the day. With that said Northern Brewer hops grown in Germany, sometimes referred to as Hallertau Northern Brewer if grown in the region, has made its mark and is used throughout beer styles such as European Ales, Lagers, and Pilsners. It is also synonymous with steam beers as in Anchor Steam.

Northern Brewer hops is used for both bittering and aroma additions in the kettle. It has an alpha acid content of 7.0%-10.0% and is a well rounded variety. The bitterness is moderate and the aroma comes off as plump. As one of Germany's main high alpha hops, Northern Brewer is both versatile yet refined.

Notes: Steep the grains in the mid 150s for 45-60 minutes.
It is assuming a 5 gallon batch,
3 gallon - 60 minute boil, and adding the extract at the beginning.

If you can do a full boil you probably wouldn't need the extra 1oz.Citra at 60 minutes.

Extract notes from the forum thread author:
As far as First Wort Hop / Steeping hops.... I would add them with around 10 min left in steep (before rinse), and put them in a different bag than the grain. Then you can leave them in for the whole boil.

Notes: Honey added 5 days after start of fermentation. Efffeciency may be higher with honey so expected OG will have to be guessed (Honey added later).

29 Litres
Original recipe OG = 1045
FG = 1016
ABV = 3.63%
SRM = 6-7
29Litres
After Honey.est OG = 1056
FG = 1017-19
ABV = 4.8%- 5.5

Returned to RT (22-04-15)-increase FG
Pushing FG to 1015 will give an ABV of 5.29

33L (25-04-15)
2.5L water added OG = 1049
FG = 1014
ABV = 4.65
IBU = 40.54
adding 2.5 L extra of Sterile water (now 33L after racking from hop matter)should bring down FG to 1014 and give ABV of 4.65% (FG 1012 on 3/5/15, ABV now 4.83%)

34.5L (03-05-15)
added 1.5 sterile water .. now 34.5L
OG = 1047
FG = 1012
ABV= 4.62
IBU = 38.78

Notes: from an all grain recipe in 2002, which had good comments from me on taste. halving the black patent malt. Also dropping the hops to 1.25 oz to put within dry stout specs. Also using my new favorite yeast strain, instead of Wyeast 1056. Also dropping mash temp down to 150. Will also try to reduce PH of mash water. We will want to see if we can improve on last time's efficiency, which was 58% for this recipe. shooting for a long sparge/lauter.
