Notes: Before starting sanitize all equipment that will come in contact with the mead. If you are concerned about wild yeast in your honey, pasteurize or use campden tablets.
Steps are illustrated here: http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/mead/mead-making-tips/
1. Warm up the honey to make it viscous (80F) for easier pouring. Do not heat over 160F.
2. Blend honey and cider with cold water; Top off carboy to 5.25 gallons. For smaller batches, use a 75% water and 25% honey mixture.
3. Add yeast nutrient and stir to oxygenate.
4. Add yeast and ferment at 68F. Use WLP775 English Cider (use a starter) yeast or Lalvin 71B yeast.
5. For the first three days, degas by shaking or stirring with sanitized spoon and add yeast nutrient every 24 hours.
6. Once fermentation is complete (~14-21 days) rack from primary fermenter to secondary and let rest for 2 months to a year.
Add vanilla bean and cinnamon to carboy for optional flavor a few days before bottling.
Bottle when certain fermentation has ceased and let age minimum of two months. |

Notes: Kentucky Common is a pre-Prohibition style popular in northern Kentucky and southern Indiana. It's currently kept alive by two brew pubs and homebrewers. The beer is one of three uniquely American beer styles. Since no one really knows what this tasted like, I'll just experiment until I get a beer I like. 8/28/16. I have a beer I really like, freezing the recipe.
Target bitterness is 20 IBU
Ferment at 68 degrees.
8/28/16: Renamed to "Hilltopper's Pride", scaled to 6 gallons. Targeting 20 IBU in next batch.
GABF silver award in Historical category, 2017, Ironworks Brewing.
Gold Medal, Historical, Arapahoe Co. Fair Homebrew Comp 2018. 3rd Place, Craft Beer Competition (professional), Colorado State Fair.
Use 1liter starter based on fresh yeast.
1/29/19: Reverting to 2017 recipe. 1.5 liter starter.
12/30/19: Added 1 oz of Crystal 80, changed flavor hop to Hallertau, note: DO NOT USE BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES. Use a milder form such as Brer Rabbit or Grandma's.
4/8/2021: Very minor tweaks: Molasses to 3 oz, Crystal 80 to 4, IBUs lowered to 20. Water recalculated to RO. |

Notes: Earlier tastings were extremely oaky(bottling + 2 weeks), the oak has now mellowed a bit (Bottling + 55 days), but is still a little overpowering. I'll consider halving the amount of oak in next year's batch (1oz instead of 2 for 2 gal), as it is difficult to detect any of the peatier notes from the peated malt with all that oak. Otherwise, very tasty, friends were shocked that it was home-made. |

Notes: This recipe was inspired by Ross Harms and a Fruity Pebbles Brew. It's part of a "Cereal Killer Challenge" within the brew club and just a fun "Raw Beer" recipe to play with. Below are the notes and guidelines I am using for this brew day as well.
(This recipe uses 3 box's @ 580g/each)
Notes from Ross Harms Fruity Pebbles Brew
-mix crushed grain, hops, cereal, and rice hulls in a bucket.
-I mashed at 149°f for 1 hour with 1.25qt per lb
-I heated the full volume of sparge water to 185°f
-Instead of doing a traditional mash, I actually treat the sparge water like a giant mash out and add add the full volume to the mash tun.
-It is important that the contents of the mash tun hit a temperature between 161°and 170°. If you are less than this the wort will likely not be pasteurized. If you are higher than this you may start to produce DMS. I shoot for 166°.
-Hold this temp for 15 minutes
-I sanitize my kettle and chiller during this time.
-Transfer and chill to pitching temp in your sanitized fermenter.
-Pitch yeast |

Notes: Very complex hops schedule.
Warrior as the primary bittering hop
Cascade
Chinook and
Simcoe as the flavor and aroma hops
I think this has the potential to be a great IPA, especially with the dry hopping with three different hops. The aroma should be intense and the flavor should have delicious citrus and pine.
The addition of simcoe, cascade, and chinook resulted in a very pronounced tangerine flavor in the young IPA. The beer is very well balanced, exhibiting pine only in the aroma, not so much in the flavor.
