Notes: Took 3 liters of mash into seperate pot, heated to boiling. Added all of the crystal, choco wheat, roasted barley and half of the cara munich when seperating the mash. Added boiled mash back to the main mash after 30 minutes.

Notes: This is my second attempt brewing with rye.
Primary fermentation will go for 10 days.
I will bottle one gallon and rack the rest for secondary fermentation for 2 weeks.
I will cold crash for 3 days, fine with gelatin and cold crash another 3 days.
After this, I will keg the remaining 5 gallons.

Notes: Mashed pilsner and wheat malt for 30 minutes at 150* before adding acidulated malt and lactic acid to the mash. After 75 min total mash, recirc'd as usual, filled kettle w/ 6 gal wort, raised wort to boil, skimmed precipitate, and rested 10 minutes to kill wild yeasts, then chilled to 95. Pitched lacto, purged kettle, sealed up lid w/ saran wrap. Kettle sat in hot 80*+ garage.

After 12 hours, warmed kettle gently a few minutes. After 36 hours, desired sourness was reached. Brought to boil, added salt, corainder and hops, boiled 5 minutes, then flamed-out and rested 10 minutes to kill the lacto yeast. Chilled to 70*. Racked to fermenter, oxygenated and pitched 2 packs US-05. Plan to directly keg after 10 days with bottling sugar and maybe a little yeast slurry.

Won 1st in the 4th Round of an Indiana Competition for German Beers, aka Der Hoosier Braumeister, in which home brewers and commercial brewers compete head to head.

Wonderful beer. Salt/Lemon Zest/Coriander in perfect balance for my taste.

Notes: Fermentation:
When gravity falls below 1.020, raise temp to 14-15 deg c.
When gravity is stable over consecutive days, drop temp to 0 deg c and condition for 2-4 weeks before packaging.

Notes: Kjøl ned vørteren til 16-17 grader og pitch gjæren. Rist gjæringskaret godt i 5-10 minutter for å få inn oksygen. La temperaturen stige naturlig til 18 grader. La den gjære ut i to uker før flasking.

Rehydrering av gjæren anbefales.

Notes: very nice refreshing Ale I was not sure about Liberty as a single hop, but I like it and would brew this again

I used Briess 2 row for the malt I did one with a German Pale Malt with I liked a little better

I like this with the 05 but the one I did with Nottingham was good also very clean at the 64 - 66 degrees

I called it a Blonde Ale just because that is the numbers I went for with the IBUs, BU/GU ratio

work out nicely

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.
