Notes: I`m primarily using Heather honey in my mead. At least 60/40 when I use a mix of Heather and Flower honey.

2 liter starter @1.04SG, 2 stage.

Filipendula ulmaria ( called Mead spice locally ) was traditionally used as "flavoring", and is this brews source of tannin. Caution; Filipendula ulmaria is a natural source of salicylic acid. Steep the Filipendula ulmaria in 1 liter of water so that it makes a strong, pungent tea. Add the tea to the fermentor the 3rd day.

Add commercially prepared Apple Must/ Apple Juice ( without preservatives like Potassium Sorbate, Ascorbic Acid is ok tho ) to the fermentor the 3rd day. The pectinase will help break down any pectin.

Leave to ferment for 30 days. Store for an additional year after botteling. Enjoy =)

End notes:
It was, to my best knowledge, uncommon to use hops in mead. Nor was it common to use any kind of malt. Hops, malt and Achillea millefolium ( a hops substitute, called Beer king locally ) was most commonly use for brewing beer ( beer was for every day use and mead for special occasions ).

You could add a small amount of clove, ginger and nutmeg to make the brew spiced as well ( I use these spices with restraint as I do not want my mead to taste like gingerbread ). Boil the spices for 15 minutes and let the Filipendula ulmaria flowers steep to make the tea.

Carbonation was also rare at best, and then only lightly ( due to lack of pressure proof containers ).

Notes: If you're not from USA, and the northeast at that, Otis Spunkmeyer used to be a brand of cookies found in various locations. The idea was your store would get the dough, and a little oven, and with little effort you could pump out the most amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies, all warm and gooey. This beer is a love letter to those days. Shooting for warm, biscuity, bready malt body, with notes of sweet chocolate, vanilla, and a bit of coffee/toffee/other "dessert" notes from the secret weapon, Black Treacle. Speaking of which, for the wort, DON'T actually use American or Black Strap molasses, but instead Lyle's Black Treacle, from Amazon. Crazy good stuff. Loads of flavors.

Let the primary fermentation run it's course (shoot for 14 days on the trub), and then let it sit for seven days on a slit open vanilla bean in a secondary vessel. At packaging (I'm using a corny keg), add 16 oz. of Ghirardelli chocolate syrup. Dark beers being mysterious, you'll get a bang for your buck aging and conditioning this, the longer the better. That said, that treacle works wonders, and after only one week (21 days in primary and secondary, and 7 to condition) you'll still have a surprisingly complex dark treat. Between that, the chocolate malt grain, and the lactose sugar to leave residual sweetness, you should get a nice chocolate effect to go with the malt. Hops should balance this malty, chocolatey treat for these last chilly days before summer and its sours, wheats, and IPAs...

Notes: Temp ramping for fermentation: http://brulosophy.com/methods/lager-method/

Chill wort to pitching temp of 48°-53°F (9°-12°C), pitch adequately sized starter (decanted), set regulator to initial fermentation temp between 50°-55°F (10°-13°C), and leave the beer to ferment until it is at least 50% attenuated. Expect to leave at temp for 5-8 days.

Once 50% attenuation is reached, remove the probe from the side of the fermentor so it measures ambient temp in the chamber and start bumping the regulator up 5°F every 12 hours until it reaches 65°-68°F (18°-20°C). Allow the beer to remain at this temp until fermentation is complete and the yeast have cleaned-up after themselves, which can take anywhere from 4 to 10 days.

When FG is stable and no diacetyl or acetaldehyde is detected in the beer, begin ramping the temp down in 5°-8°F increments every 12 hours or so until it reaches 30°-32°F (-1°-0°C). Allow the beer to remain at this temp for 3-5 days to cold crash.

Notes: Made a big 1.2L yeast starter with my new homemade stir plate!

Based on the popular YONA YONA ALE from Japan.

Yona Yona (“Night after night” in Japanese) pale ale is a medium-bodied American pale ale with a generous amount of cascade hops. Citrus flavor from premium Cascade hops and well-balanced bitterness and sweetness are its main character.

Notes: Still aging this one at 8 weeks in secondary. Tried it yesterday and it is out of sight tasty. It is still a little hot with alcohol, but that should age away. This is a recipe to make a big batch of and store it away in some bottles and taste it over time.

Ended up kegging and this thing is wonderful. Nice creamy and stable head on it, plenty of boozy warmth too. Could use a touch more hops to help with balance, but overall one of my favorites that we have 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
