Notes: 2017 version had all kinds of malts in there: c20, c120, brown, chocolate, black barley (pic)
2018 I'm simplifying and just using brown, c120 and black barley
- expect terrible efficiency in the 55% range. There's just so much grain to mash. Maybe try leaving it overnight next time for some extra grav points and better fermentability.
- Last time was 10kg of base malt for 24L. Mashed 1hr and got 1.078 pre-boil.
- added 500g sugar to get us up over 1.085; shooting for around 9% ABV
- Experimenting with adding 1/2 Bourbon-soaked oak spiral (and some of the oaked bourbon) to the keg.
- bumped up the black barley (+100g) as this one (2018) is a bit light once it clears. |

Notes: 0 min boil Hop = Post Boil Swirl Hops.
Mash at 150F. Kill the flame after the 90 min boil and Add the 0 min hops, swirl, cover and let sit for 60 minutes. After 60 min, drop the temp quickly, pitch and ferment at 66F for the first two days, then raise 4 degrees over the next two days to 70F and let sit for a total of 14-17 days. Cold crash to 37F before racking to secondary, then let the beer warm back up to pitching temperature before dry hopping. I like to rack to a layer of CO2 covered hops (in this case, sack full of whole hops) in secondary. Add the corn sugar to a cup of water and boil for 5 minutes, chill and pitch when ready to bottle. Bottle at 70F. |

Notes: kokosflingorna rostas:
rosta 200g åt gången i en teflonpanna på medelhög värme under omrörning tills kokosflingorna är gyllenbruna. Sprid ut dem på en bakplåt för att svalna. Tappa sedan om hela satsen till ett nytt kärl med de rostade kokosflingorna i botten och låt stå i två veckor innan buteljering.
Ananas
Ananasen måste vara färsk och rejält mogen för att ge smak. Mixa till en pure och pastörisera innan det tillsätts i jäskärlet.
Läggas i en nätpåse?? Beror väl på vilken konsistens puren har. |

Notes: Black malt added with second hop addition to copper (boil) definitely resulting in higher SRM than recipe states (target is 38 SRM.)
Mash in 2 gallon Igloo with paint strainer, adding 3/4 quart boiling water midway through mash. Boiled in Leyse 6 quart kettle. Target OG was 1.052, efficiency was higher than anticipated so actual was 1.056 / 70%. Next batch will need to be modified for closer OG to original.
Cooled to 63F, pitched 2 grams Safale S-04. Ferment at 63F for one week. |

Notes: The grain bill is Jamil's, the hops are changed a bit, mostly because I had 8oz of Simcoe in the freezer... I've made this before, it turns out very nice. be careful on your measurement of the chocolate malt, a little goes a long way, and a little more goes too far... |

Notes: For this beer, we're attempting to put together a spicy, smoky and robust Winter Warmer style ale that doesn't particularly conform to traditional style norms. Several varieties of wheat malt will hopefully contribute a neutral smoothness to the feel, and, at a hair over 50% of the grist being smoked malt (split 40/60 between cherrywood and beechwood), we're hoping there will be adequate campfire flavor without going overboard. We chose Chinook as an exclusive hop for this beer as it is described as having a distinct smoky aroma that is imparted towards the end of the boil, and it seemed neutral enough as a 60 minute addition instead of the generic Magnum that could be used for this non-hoppy beer.
We decided to steep some spices at five minutes to the end of the boil. The modest amounts of nutmeg, cinnamon sticks and crushed cardamom pods should yield a slight bit of pungent and appreciable spice to the base smoky yet balanced medium-dark beer.
Cheers!
11/9/14: Just bottled this one. Racked it to secondary on 10/26 and have been letting it sit until just now. Took another sample and final gravity reading... finished pretty much perfectly at 1.014-15; great! Flavor is very, very smoky and campfire-y with a lot of subtle spice notes and a bit of sweetness. Excited for it to carbonate.
12/11/14: Alright, been long enough without an update for this one. Pat and I have had it multiple times since bottling and we are very happy with it. Since I don't have a bottle on hand to write about now, I'll copy/paste what I wrote on Facebook when I first had a bottle three or so weeks back: "Smoked Winter Warmer is a go! Notes of bittersweet chocolate, chicory, cinnamon/nutmeg and, of course, a ton of campfire smokiness. A big yet smooth feel enhances the seasonal warming feeling of this one. Very proud of how this came out."
This is probably our first beer that we have planned through 100%, knew what we wanted (rather than just having a rough/weird sketch of an idea) and had it come out basically exactly like what we both assumed it'd be. As I said, I'm proud of it and I'm sure Pat is too. |
