Notes: Original gravity: 1.075 (18.2ºP)
Final gravity: 1.018 (4.6ºP)
Alcohol by volume: 7.5 %
IBU: 10
Malts:
4.9 kg Pilsner malt (75 % of malt)
1.6 kg wood smoked malt (25 %)
10–12 liters of juniper branches, or 2–4 liters of spruce or fir tips
20–40 g of medium-alpha hops for 10 IBU (hop tea)
Kveik or ale yeast
Make an infusion from the juniper branches, spruce tips or fir tips with enough water for the mash. Let the branches or tips infuse for 2–3 hours. Before mashing in, heat the infusion high enough to arrive at a mash temperature of 66–68°C (151–154°F). Keep the mash at this temperature for 45 minutes.
Once you have mashed in, add more hot water onto the spent branches or tips to make an infusion for sparging. At this point, prepare the hop tea: Boil the hops in a small amount of water for one hour, and then dump the whole tea into the mash. Use around one liter of water per 30 grams of hops (quart per ounce). Note: this method gives roughly half of the bitterness of a typical wort boil.
Raise the mash to 70–72°C (158–162°F), and hold at this temperature for half an hour. Then raise to 75–78°C (167–172°F) for the final 30 minutes. Begin lautering, and recirculate until the wort runs clear. Sparge with 75–78°C (167–172°F) juniper infusion until 20 liters is collected. |

Notes: 3/1/15 – Brewed by myself. Mash came in a little low at 144F so I added a quart of boiling water to bring it up to 146F. Added 4 grams of Gypsum and 1 gram of CaCl to the mash along with 4.7mL lactic acid, 1.5 grams of CaCl and 5.8 grams of Gypsum to the sparge. I used fly sparging for the first time and noticed an increase in my efficiency so I added half a gallon to bring the gravity down to my target pre-boil. Chilled to 68F and aerated with pure O2 for 45 seconds.
3/2/15 – Fermentation has started and is bubbling up through the air lock.
3/5/15 – Fermentation has calmed down, I’m assuming 3724 is starting to go dormant.
4/3/15 - Gravity down to 1.008. Racked beer to purged secondary for conditioning and to get the yeast cake free for the barrel.
4/23/15 - Placed in the chest freezer at 35F to cold crash.
4/25/15 - Bottled half as unblended Bernice with 85 grams of table sugar targeting 2.75 volumes of CO2. Racked the rest of the beer onto 3lbs 1 ounce of apricot puree to make it West Ashley-ish.
5/21/15 - Gravity down to 1.011 for the West Ashley half. I'll check again later to see if its stable.
6/29/15 - Bottled the West Ashley with 86 grams of table sugar.
7/27/15 - First tasting. I needed to add 3711
8/30/15 - First tasting of the West Ashley half.
About two days before I made a low gravity starter for my yeast (3724) to get it going and refresh it because it had been in my fridge for over a month. After a day I cold crashed then made a 1.040 starter to top up the original and added the dregs from a bottle of Bernice. My though process is that I wanted to refresh the dregs, but I wanted the Saison yeast to be proportionally the predominate yeast to do the bulk of the fermentation. Wyeast 3724 is notorious for stalling around 1.030, which should give the bugs plenty of food left to munch on until reaching terminal gravity. My experience in the past with 3724 is that it will continue to ferment; it just does it slowly, which is why I’m not concerned with the bacteria and Brett having too much food left over and souring too quickly. The only problem I experienced while brewing was just after I started the boil. I noticed the better bottle I bought a few days before was a ported version. So I added my hops in 15 minutes earlier than planned and ran to exchange it (no I didn’t leave the boil alone).

*************************
First Brew -
Mashed low. Finish temp 143
Beer is dry, little sweetness or malty characteristics. I should have mashed higher.
OG 1.074
FG 1.013
ABV 8.01%
Pretty solid base recipe, would still mash higher
Over carbonated this one at 3x30, watch closely next time
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Split batch to make a Winter Warmer (excellent winter warmer)
5 gallons
6 oz Honey
4 oz Molasses
2 oz Fresh cut ginger
1 oz Nutmeg grated
1 Cinnamon Stick
1 Large Orange zested
+ Add to secondary for ~4 days
+ On transfer be careful not to pull in Molasses and Honey on bottom
+ NEEDS clarifying agent in keg |
