Notes: After Fermentation, add an additional 5.5 gallons of (boiled for 10 mins) filtered water to dilute the beer down to 4% ABV. Doing this will remove the yeast flavor, bringing it in line with the style. It's also important to properly lager and use the finings listed to clear up the beer.

Your Bud light drinking friends will love it!

Notes: this beer turned out phenomenal. one of the best beers i have ever brewed.

Azacca is a beautiful hop. I added half a kilo of dextrin malt because i had a few kilo's of it in the freezer that i am trying to get through after ordering 5 kg rahter than 1kg. dextrin (carapils) malt actually tastes pretty good however and works really well with the maris otter.

next time i do this beer i would probably halve the dextrin malt and add some wheat malt so approx 5% wheat and 5% dextrin. I'd also use a higher sulphate water chem, aim for something in the range of light and hoppy as a starting point, and possibly even go higher on the suphate to accentuate the azacca more.

azacca as a single hop was beautiful, had a huge range of flavours and to be honest i probably wouldnt find to many other types of hops that i would use with azacca as i feel its already got a lot going on. (except maybe somethign as a 60 min bittering addition so i can save more azacca for whirlpool/dry hopping)

Notes: This ale should be light, sweet, and creamy and the color should come from the addition of black tea at the end of the boil. The amounts of the spices and fruits are subject to change depending on how much flavor they add to this brew. The beer almost needs to be neutral so the flavors of the spices and tea can take over.

Notes: 11L for strike water accounting for 2.2L of grain absorption. (Rule-0.6G for 6 lbs of grain). Assuming 8.8L after.

After grains were placed in strike water, it was 158F - way too high. Added cold water from tap to get it down to 151.3 @ 52 minutes. Then, 151.0 @ 40, 150.8 @ 30, 149.0 @ 20, 147.9 @ 10, 146.3 @ 5. Mashed out for 10 minutes @ 168. Dunk sparge for 10 minutes @ 170.

Estimated 6.2L for dunk sparge, but actually got 8L. This made 16.8 (4.4G) in pre-boil Wort. SG was 1.034 @ 126F which equates to 1.044 actual SG. Apparently this is 86.83% pre-boil efficiency. Really high if it is true. On second thought, maybe my grain absorption was much higher. If I correct my pre-boil wort to 4.0 gallons, I get 78.22% - pretty much spot on with post-boil efficiency.

Assuming typical boil off rate is 14% it makes more sense. 14% of 4 gallons is 0.56 gallons, which roughly comes to 3.5 gallons in the fermenter.

Post-boil OG was 1.050! Pitched yeast @ 22C @ 9pm and will begin adding ice bottles at 7am in the morning. Reading in the ice bath is 20C, so will assume +2 for the fermenter, plus the traditional 3C for 1.050 OG and for the increased temps from ferm.

With 3.5G (maybe 3.4) of post-boil wort @ 1.050 OG, I have a brewhouse efficiency of 77.78% (or 75.56%). Why is it less than pre-boil efficiency?

First bottle on 07/28. Lots of head, although it dissipates after some sips. First impression is that it is very carbonated and sweet. Aroma has huge banana notes which will hopefully die down with age. This is probably because of the high and variable ferm temps. Does this mainly affect the aroma and not the flavour? I should also check my carbing process next time...

Side-by-side: 08/03 (Granville Island Hefe)

App: Mine is a straw gold colour, GI has a distinct orange hue. Both have same level of haziness and mine shows greater signs of carbonation.

Smell: Mine smells predominately like rotten bananas with a little bubblegum. I can chalk this up to the higher and variable ferm temps. GI is much more pleasent - citrus and banana, also with bubblegum.

Taste: Mine tastes better than it smells. Sweet and carbonated. Light banana notes. Gi is also very sweet but less carbonated. Much more of a bubblegum taste. Both are quite different but good in their own ways.

MF: Both have light body with medium high levels of carbonation. However, GI is a little bit heavier on the tounge.

Overall: I have to side with GI, mainly because of the aroma, given everything else equal.

Notes: Mash Schedule: Single Infusion, Light Body, Batch Sparge | Total Grain Weight: 10 lbs
Name Description Step Temperature Step Time
Mash In Add 12.50 qt of water at 163.7 F 152.0 F 75 min
Sparge: Batch sparge with 2 steps (1.97gal, 3.89gal) of 168.0 F water

Notes:
I'd say the lime is noticeable but not quite prevalent enough. I would try upping it to 2/3oz next time. I had intended to add 1oz of zest but forgot to actually zest any limes until the 10 min addition went in - so we got about 8 grams before it was time to toss it in.
All in all I'd say this recipe is great. Noticeable hoppiness in a 4.5%ABV beer. It's really been a hit with my friends during these hot Florida days we've been having.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, went from grain to glass in 11 days.
