Notes: Dry hop method:
Per 1oz hops, soak in star san solution 1 muslin bag and 1.5oz glass marbles. Add marbles to muslin bag, then add hops. Tie an overhand knot as close to the opening as possible, and quickly & gently place in fermentation vessel.

Fermentation, dry hop, and bottling schedule:
Pitch into a sanitized 7gal plastic bucket for primary fermentation, ferment at room temperature, 67F to 72F.
1 or 2 days after peak fermentation, prepare and add first dry hops.
Once airlock bubbling dies down to about once every 20 seconds, add second dry hops to a sanitized 3gal glass carboy, then rack beer into carboy. The goal is to fill up the carboy as much as possible, leaving as little air space as possible. If beer doesn't quite reach carboy neck, carefully add sanitized marbles until it does.
After airlock bubbling has completely stopped, but no later than 12 days after racking, prepare to bottle beer by sanitizing bottles and adding 5 carb tabs and a pinch of CBC-1 bottling yeast to each. Use air filter and double-nozzle carboy cap to siphon beer to reduce contamination.

Notes: Earl Grey Tea addition: @kegging

These notes came directly from the recipe source at The Mad Fermentationist...

"Dosed (Keg) with 3 cups of tea brewed with 1 oz of Russian Earl Grey tea from PA Dutch General Store. Used a French press, dosed in stages, mixing and tasting until the flavor was where we wanted it."

Notes: Batch #12A-5A
American Amber(Red)Ale with a sharp bite of hops and a lemon kick in the tail
American 2-row pale ale malt, American Crystal 60L, Victory malt rounds out the grain bill. Mash temperatures in the range of 152°F to 154°F creating a wort with a nice balance of fermentable and non-fermentable sugars.
Magnum hops adds a balanced bitterness, homegrown whole leaf Cascade hops adds a distinctive grapefruit flavor and Lemon Drop hops during flameout adds a special aroma.
Yeast: White Labs California Ale WLP001 PurePitch Lot #1025150 Manuf. April 12, 2016. QC cell count 2.82e9/ml slurry.
Saint Philip the Serpent Killer is the 5th of 12 brews in the Twelve Apostles beer line. Each of these 12 brews are American Amber Ales. Experimentation with water profile, temperature variations including mash temp., grain bill, ambient temp., hops varieties and yeast strains provide endless opportunity to learn about and improve this beer over the year.
Homegrown Cascade hops Alpha Acid has been age adjusted in this recipe since details of storage and pick date are a known variable.
Bitterness to starting gravity ratio (IBU [32.3] divided by OG [52]) = [.62]. (0.5 to 0.7 for a balanced amber).
Actual Final Gravity (w/h calibrated precision hydrometer) = 1.008.
Actual ABV = 5.64%.
All test equipment calibrated prior to use.

Notes: If you haven't had a Classic American Pilsener yet, you're missing out! This is the first one I've brewed, and also even tried, but I'm extremely pleased with the way it turned out. One of my best beers yet. If you are asked to give a style example when asked to define just "beer", this is what comes to mind for me. Just a great, balanced, easy-drinking, flavorful beer (not too hoppy, not too malty, not too light, not to heavy, etc... A real "Goldilocks" beer - just right!). Give this one a try.

I've used both WLP833 and WLP838... But a pilsener yeast or any good lager yeast would probably work very well also.

Notes: 11L for strike water accounting for 2.2L of grain absorption. (Rule-0.6G for 6 lbs of grain). Assuming 8.8L after.

After grains were placed in strike water, it was 158F - way too high. Added cold water from tap to get it down to 151.3 @ 52 minutes. Then, 151.0 @ 40, 150.8 @ 30, 149.0 @ 20, 147.9 @ 10, 146.3 @ 5. Mashed out for 10 minutes @ 168. Dunk sparge for 10 minutes @ 170.

Estimated 6.2L for dunk sparge, but actually got 8L. This made 16.8 (4.4G) in pre-boil Wort. SG was 1.034 @ 126F which equates to 1.044 actual SG. Apparently this is 86.83% pre-boil efficiency. Really high if it is true. On second thought, maybe my grain absorption was much higher. If I correct my pre-boil wort to 4.0 gallons, I get 78.22% - pretty much spot on with post-boil efficiency.

Assuming typical boil off rate is 14% it makes more sense. 14% of 4 gallons is 0.56 gallons, which roughly comes to 3.5 gallons in the fermenter.

Post-boil OG was 1.050! Pitched yeast @ 22C @ 9pm and will begin adding ice bottles at 7am in the morning. Reading in the ice bath is 20C, so will assume +2 for the fermenter, plus the traditional 3C for 1.050 OG and for the increased temps from ferm.

With 3.5G (maybe 3.4) of post-boil wort @ 1.050 OG, I have a brewhouse efficiency of 77.78% (or 75.56%). Why is it less than pre-boil efficiency?

First bottle on 07/28. Lots of head, although it dissipates after some sips. First impression is that it is very carbonated and sweet. Aroma has huge banana notes which will hopefully die down with age. This is probably because of the high and variable ferm temps. Does this mainly affect the aroma and not the flavour? I should also check my carbing process next time...

Side-by-side: 08/03 (Granville Island Hefe)

App: Mine is a straw gold colour, GI has a distinct orange hue. Both have same level of haziness and mine shows greater signs of carbonation.

Smell: Mine smells predominately like rotten bananas with a little bubblegum. I can chalk this up to the higher and variable ferm temps. GI is much more pleasent - citrus and banana, also with bubblegum.

Taste: Mine tastes better than it smells. Sweet and carbonated. Light banana notes. Gi is also very sweet but less carbonated. Much more of a bubblegum taste. Both are quite different but good in their own ways.

MF: Both have light body with medium high levels of carbonation. However, GI is a little bit heavier on the tounge.

Overall: I have to side with GI, mainly because of the aroma, given everything else equal.
