Notes: Popular all grain setup. 5 Gallon cooler as mash tun with false bottom, and 7-9 gallon brewpot capable of boiling at least 6 gallons of wort without spilling over. Primarily used for single infusion mashes.
Doing Dilute no sparge, so increase pale by 20%; from 12 lb to 14.4 lbs. Calculated OG goes from 1.060 to 1.067; expect the lower value with this style of no sparge. |

Notes: 1. (4 days prior) - Fermentis SAF-04 yeast (11.5g) is prepared as a starter by boiling 400g of Water + 200g DME + 200g table sugar + 1g YN + 1g G-F + 0.5g DAP for 15 minutes. Once well combined, cool to 28 degrees Celsius and pitch the yeast in the broth.
Ferment for 4 days under 5psi of spunding valve pressure.
2. (24hr prior) - 40L of water is measured in a 60L Pressure fermenting keg. The water is pre-treated with 2x Campden tablets and allowed to gas off sulfides for 24hrs. To the water, 4g of Calcium Sulfate + 2g of Calcium Chloride and + 4g of Citric acid are added. The fermenter can be fixed with an airlock to allow any gasses to be released.
3. Remove 20L of water from the fermenter chamber and begin heating the water to 70 degrees Celsius strike temperature.
Begin recirculation pumps, using a bazooka screen for the intake line. Line the pot with two grain bags for half the grain each. Add the 8kg of combined grain to the pot and begin mashing with a paddle. The grain must mash for 120 minutes at 62 degrees Celsius.
4. The enzymes are deactivated with a final heat to 78 degrees Celsius. The grain is sparged with 4L of water in a separate pot and the water is re-added to the pot to a total volume of 25L.
5. The mash is boiled to 90 degrees Celsius and the hop schedule is followed for a 60 minute boil.
6. At 15 minutes, ensure that all yeast nutrients, sugars and finnings have been added to the boil. Also add the immersion chiller to the pot and prepare 30L of Ice for chilling of the wort.
7. Flameout occurs after 60 minutes and immersion chilling begins until the temperature is less than 25 degrees Celsius.
8. The wort is pumped into the 60L pressure fermenter and the final volume of the beer is made up to 40L with the pre-prepared water from earlier. This water may need to be transferred to a separate fermenter so that it is not originally in the fermenter prior to pumping in the wort. This is in case there is more plain water in the fermenter than there needs to be.
9. The yeast is added to the fermenter and fermentation is allowed to begin. *Hops are suspended from the inside chamber using a magnet inside a hop bag*. Ferment for 14 days in total up to 15psi spunding valve pressure.
10. After 2 days, a High Krausen should have formed and this is when 100g of Cascade hops are added by removing the magnet on the hop bag from the outside. Opening of the fermenter should not be necessary.
OPTIONALLY: The fermenter can remove the Trub from the collection vessel to improve yield of beer.
11. At the 14th day, de-gas the beer by incrementally reducing the spunding valve pressure down to 2-3psi over the course of 24 hours to ensure the beer is entirely de-gassed.
12. Transfer to kegs and add 150g of sugar to each keg once filled. As the sugar is added, the keg lid must be already fitted and ready to pull upward to seal to ensure the sugar does not cause a de-gas eruption of the beer out of the keg. This should be done with *two people* assisting. This is why ensuring the beer is fully degassed is vital to reduce eruption. Seal immediately and allow to secondary ferment for *4 weeks* in order to age and carbonate naturally.
13. Serve at 50kpa and 5 degrees Celsius.
NOTE: This method should reduce or eliminate the need for pressurised CO2 to carbonate and displace the beer from the keg. Natural carbonation should be used. |

Notes: 1. The starter must be produced 24 hours prior to the mashing. This is to produce a very fast rapid fermentation with a large population of yeast which defines this beer.
- The starter includes 200g of DME, 400mL of water, 1g of Yeast Nutrient, 1g of Go-Ferm, 100g of Sucrose and 0.1g of DAP, in a 1000mL Schott bottle with a pre-sterilized fermenter.
- Boil for 15 minutes and place the pot (covered with foil) in a bowl of ice to chill very quickly.
- Sterilize the Schott bottle and pour in broth. Ensure that temperature is between 25-35 degrees Celsius. Pitch the Fermentis US-05 yeast and stopper the fermenter.
- *Record original gravity and notate down*
- Ferment for 24 hours to build up a population of yeast and then cold crash in fridge overnight. Decant 90% of the supernatant and concentrate the yeast cells behind. Reconstitute in fresh wort when ready and allow to rest for 2 hours at RT before adding to the fermenter.
2. Adjust the water chemistry of 30L of water in a 35L stainless steel induction pot. This can be prepared in a keg or fermenter beforehand and treated with a campden tablet. Maintain a Cl:SO4 ratio of 1:2. Add 2g CaCl2 and 4g CaSO4 and then 3g of Citric acid dissolved in 50mL of water. If pH overshoots, adjust with sodium bicarbonate. Remove 10L of water for later sparging.
3. Begin heating 20L of the prepared water according to the following steps:
(a) Alpha and Beta Amylase midpoint
- heat the water to 65 degrees Celsius (90 mins)
- physically agitate the grains in the water encouraging enzymatic breakdown, break up any dough balls that form.
(b) Sparging - separately sparge 10L of water and recombine (10 mins)
The grain must strike the water and maintain 65 degrees Celsius. Therefore, set the initial temperature at 70 degrees Celsius.
4. Boil the mash to 90 degrees Celsius and begin the first bittering hop addition. Follow the hop schedule in this procedure.
5. At 15 minutes left in the boil, add:
- A whirlfloc tablet (1x)
- Irish moss - rehydrated (2g)
- Yeast nutrient, Diammonium phosphate (0.5g) and Go-Ferm (8g each)
- Any necessary sugars
The immersion chiller should also be added at this stage to sterilize and prepare for flameout.
6. At flameout, the immersion chiller is started and temperature is reduced. Keep the whirlpool flowing from the recirculation pump.
7. Once the temperature has reached 20 degrees Celsius, add the concentrated yeast starter and seal the pressure fermenter. The pressure fermenter should have been previously prepared by alkaline cleaning/scrubbing and then acid sterilizing and flushed with CO2.
8. Ferment at 1 bar pressure for 7 days. Liquid-Liquid transfer into a new pressure fermenter that contains 50g of Dry hops in a hop bag. Further ferment for another 7 days. Optionally, hops can be placed in a magnetically held bag inside the roof of the fermenter with a stronger outer magnet holding it above the waterline. Remove magnet on outside of fermenter after 2 days to High Krausen dry hop.
9. Cold crash beer for 2 days at 4 degrees Celsius at 200kpa (closed). Liquid-Liquid transfer to a stainless steel Cornelius keg (19L) and serve on tap at 4 degrees Celsius and 35kpa pressure.

Notes: - Brewed on 2/29/20
- Mash water = 4.6 gallons (17.4 liters)
- Sparge water = 3.39 gallons (12.8 liters)
- Expecting pre-boil volume of 6.6 gallons (25 liters) or 6.86 gallons (25.9 liters) after 4% wort expansion, actually had just under 26 liters (I'd say 25.9).
- Expecting mash efficiency of 84% (at expanded wort volume) which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.049
- Mash temp settled right it at ~152F
- Hit 11.8 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.048 vs. 1.049 target so 82% mash efficiency vs. 84% expected. Sparge was a bit faster with this batch. ~30 min.
- Expecting to boil down to 6.0 gallons (after wort cools) so boil-off tool estimates 1.054 OG, Actual original gravity reading was 13.0 plato which converts to 1.053 vs 1.054 expected.
- After boil had ~6.21 gallons (expected 6.0 not expanded so this is right on) in the kettle and ~5.5 gallons made it into the fermenter.
- Pitched yeast starter and set fermentation chamber at 64F, changed to 65F 36 hours post brew day, did ~175B yeast cells instead of ~200 so 0.62 vs. 0.75 pitch rate
- Packaged on 3/10/20, batch #42, FG was 1.013 (at 68F) which converts to 1.014 so 73% attenuation vs 75% avg. and 76% expected
- Fill keg to 51.86 pounds = (1.014FG x 8.345 x 5 gallons) + 9.548 (empty keg weight). Was just able to get 51.86 pounds so volumes during brew day were spot on. |
