Notes: Equipment Evolution
Blichmann 50l is the mash tun, with the new original false bottom, because the malt bill is too big for the Robobrew. We can also do a step mash with Blichmann 50l.
Robobrew is our boil kettle because his capacity is 30 litres and that is our wort volume going into the kettle AND he fits perfectly under the Blichmann 50l for a gravity transfer.
Mash water just clears the false bottom at 19 litres, so we are adjusting the mash water to 20 + 3 x #kg in mash = 44 litres.
We will adjust sparge water accordingly to get 30 litres for the boil.
Left over last runnings can be used for a low alcohol beer second beer with another yeast (Session IPA??).
I will be surprised if my final gravity is 1.015 since I have very high attenuation in most of my beers and I really want a dry finish to follow the Trappist style exactly. So, I am OK with with the ABV estimate of less than 9% because I will probably hit that in the final product.
Mash schedule following Duvel model from "The Secrets of the Master Brewers", p. 151. |

Notes: Mash In: Heat 3.5 gallons (13 liters) of water to 104°F (40°C). Add all the crushed malts and stir thoroughly to avoid clumps. Allow the temperature to rise to 122°F (50°C) for protein rest. Hold this temperature for 20 minutes.
First Decoction: Take a thick portion of the mash (about one-third) and transfer it to another pot. Heat it up to 158°F (70°C) and hold for 10 minutes. Then, raise the temperature to 168°F (76°C) for mash-out. Return the decoction back to the main mash, raising the temperature to 154°F (68°C) for saccharification rest.
Second Decoction: Take another thick portion of the mash (about one-third) and transfer it to the other pot. Heat it up to 168°F (76°C) for mash-out. Return the decoction back to the main mash, raising the temperature to 162°F (72°C) for the second saccharification rest.
Third Decoction (optional): Repeat the process for a third decoction, if desired, to achieve a rich malt profile.
Lautering: After completing the decoction steps, begin the lautering process. Sparge with 170°F (77°C) water to extract the sugars fully. |

| Notes: On brew day, I decided to use yeast slurry from last batch of Herm’s Amber Ale. This slurry originated as White Labs 090 - San Diego Super Yeast, which should deliver a nice clean fermentation character. Using the yeast calculator on this site determined to use 0.125 +/- liter of slurry, which should be a strong pitch. |

Notes: SMaSH beer. The orange/citrus from the Amarillo REALLY comes through nicely and matches the color from the M.O. malt.
Overall, it's a really nicely balanced beer.
I increased the dry hops from 2oz to 4oz. to try to add a little more hop aroma. (4/22/2023) |

Notes: Ferm temp 64 degrees. Let warm once fermentation is well underway.
Starter 1.5 liters.
Batch 01 did not meet gravity (undershot by 6 points). As a result, hops became dominant. Not bad but I want the malty balance. Will adjust next batch to get proper gravity. I could sell this batch as an altbier. Base recipe adjusted, ensure gravity target (1.056) met. |

Notes: Mighty Duck! is an attempt at an extract Kwak clone.
Aiming to produce 40x330ml bottles from this brew so I need at least 13.2l available at bottling time. I'd need an estimated 15-16l going in to the primary fermenter.
Actually got 17l going in to the primary, topped up a little, to 18.5l, to bring the OG down from 1.078 to 1.070.
If I'd left the OG at 1.078 and fermentation ends at the anticipated 1.016 then the ABV would be 8.14% - closer to Kwak's actual 8.4%.
FG reading is 1.010 giving an ABV of 7.88%
Moved 15.5l to a secondary FV after primary completed. Is clearing nicely after the first week.
Bottled 46 x 330ml bottles from the secondary. Very little sediment and a good, clear, beer going in to the bottles.
Beer at bottling was sitting at 11C hence the lower volume of brewing sugar (corn sugar) than I'd normally expect for a target CO2 volume of 2.2.
1st photo is Kwak on the left, Mighty Duck on the right after 1 week in the secondary. Has the banana hit you get from Kwak.
The flavour development in the bottle has been interesting.
For the first month of bottle conditioning I tasted a bottle at week 1 and 2 and the banana flavour was reducing with bitterness increasing. I waiting until it had a full month in the bottle before tasting again and it was the same change - even less banana and more bitterness.
Zero carbonation at the end of month 1.
Waiting until month 2 and a big change - banana flavour is starting to re-appear and that rich Belgian Dubbel flavour is starting to appear. The bitterness has almost completely dissipated.
End of month 2 and the carbonation is starting to appear, a good hiss when the bottle opens but overall carbonation is light.
The beer is almost completely clear now too.
Now waiting for month 3... |

Notes: Mengden meske- og skyllevann du bør bruke kommer an på utstyret og metoden du brygger med. Som et anslag kan vi si at du kan bruke 20 l meskevann og 14,5 l skyllevann til dette ølet. Noen bryggemaskiner (f.eks. Speidel Braumeister) kan kreve større mengder meskevann. Sjekk alltid manualen på utstyret du bruker.
Mesking på 67 grader i 60 min. Utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min hvis du har mulighet til å øke temperatur i mesken.
Kjøl ned til 17 grader før pitching av gjær.
Gjæring på 18 grader til stormgjæring begynner å avta (typisk etter 3-5 dager). Øk deretter til 20 grader og hold resten av gjæringsperioden (totalt 14 dager).
Gjæralternativer: WLP004, WLP007, WLP013, WLP051, Danstar Nottingham, Safale S-04 |

Notes: "Crystal malt" is malted buckwheat.
It was prepared by wetting the buckwheat groats (purchased form a co-op health food store) grain in strainer for approximately 2 days, rinsing about every 8-12 hours, until the rootlets/sprouts are about slightly shorter than the length of the groat. This keeps the grains moist, and also rinses away any molds that may also be growing.
I air dried the groats on a cookie sheet for a day before oven drying at "warm" heat for 6-8 hours, then increasing heat to 250 for 2-4 hours to caramelize the sugars in the dried groats.
They taste mildly sweet, like grape-nuts cereal, and have the same texture. |
