Notes: A Scaled-Down Mash Schedule from Cantillon Brewery
The following is a homebrew-scale version of the Cantillon Brewery’s (Brussels, Belgium) turbid mash schedule. Based on the information presented in Martin Lodahl’s article, the Cantillon Brewery gets about 33–34 points/lb/gallon. The Cantillon grist is composed of 34% raw wheat and 66% malted barley. The recipe is scaled down here to yield 5 gallons of wort with an original gravity of 1.048 (11.86 °P), or 5 x 48 = 240 points. If we assume we will get 30 points/lb/gallon, then 240 ÷ 30 = 8 lb of grain. The barley malt fraction is 66% of 8 lb, or 5.3 lb of malt, leaving the remaining fraction of raw wheat at 2.7 lb.
The Cantillon schedule calls for mashing 1,300 kg of grain into 850 L of water (2,860 lb grain into 900 quarts water), or 3.2 lb grain/qt water, or 0.3 qt water/lb grain. Our 8 lb of grain therefore requires 8 x 0.3 quarts, or 2.4 quarts of water.
Procedure
In all of the following steps, the temperature and water additions were taken directly from the Cantillon schedule as published and scaled accordingly.
1) In kettle #1, combine water (about 2.4 quarts) at 144 °F (62 °C) and the crushed grain to achieve a temperature of 113 °F (45 °C). Mix the grain and water thoroughly and allow it to rest at 113 °F for 10 minutes. This amount of water is just enough to wet all of the grain and flour. The mash needs to be stirred well to make sure that all the grain is wetted and that no clumps of flour are present. Total time for this step is about 20 minutes, including the temperature rest.
2) Next, add enough boiling water (212 °F [100 °C]) to the mash to bring the temperature to 136 °F (58 °C). Do this over the course of 5 minutes, making sure to mix thoroughly. It will take about 3.5 quarts of boiling water to raise the mash temperature to 136 °F, and you will end up with a very soupy mash with plenty of excess liquid. Allow the mash to rest for 5 minutes at this temperature. Remove about 1 quart of liquid from the mash, add it to kettle #2, and heat to 176 °F (80 °C). The liquid taken off should have the appearance of milk. Once heated it will clear up and large particles of hot break will form.
3) Add more boiling water to the mash over the course of 10 minutes to bring the temperature to 150 °F (65 °C), again with constant mixing. It will take about 5 quarts to achieve this temperature. Allow the mash to rest for 30 minutes at 150 °F (65 °C). At this point, the mash will be very soupy and the liquid much less milky in appearance.
4) Remove 4 quarts of liquid from kettle #1 and add it to kettle #2, which will put it up to 5 quarts. Continue to heat kettle #2 to maintain a temperature of 176 °F (80 °C). The liquid removed from kettle #1 will be very cloudy, but not quite as milky as the liquid previously removed in step 2.
5) Add more boiling water to kettle #1 to bring the temperature to 162 °F (72 °C) and allow it to remain at that temperature for 20 minutes. Again, it will take about 5 quarts of water to reach the rest temperature. The mash should be very thin and soupy with a great deal of small particulate matter in the liquid portion.
6) After the 20-minute rest, run off the liquid from kettle #1 and bring to a boil in a third kettle. Add enough of the liquid from kettle #2, at 176 °F (80 °C), back into the mash in kettle #1 to bring the mash to a temperature of about 167 °F (75 °C). Allow the mash to rest at that temperature for 20 minutes. If any liquid is left in kettle #2, it can be added to the previously collected runoff in kettle #3.
7) After 20 minutes, recirculate the wort in kettle #1 to clarify it, and begin sparging with 185 °F (85 °C) water. Sparge until the gravity of the runoff has dropped to less than 1.008 (2.06 °P). Boil the wort, now in kettle #3, until the volume is reduced to about 5 gallons.
8) As the wort begins to boil, hop with about 4 oz of aged hops. The combined water additions and sparging should add up to about 9 gallons of wort. Total boiling time to reduce this volume to 5 gallons will depend on your equipment and methods. At the beginning of the boil, the wort will be cloudy and full of large flocculent break material. As the boil proceeds, the wort should clarify as the proteins continue to coagulate and the starch solubilizes. After boiling, the wort can be cooled using your method of choice. This method of mashing does not seem to yield the large amount of break that a typical all-malt infusion mash would yield. As stated elsewhere, however, your results may vary depending on your equipment and technique. |

Denny Conn's Rye IPA
Hop and Spicy!
This is another recipe created by Denny Conn and made popular around the various internet forums. It is a hoppy, refreshing, West-coast style IPA with the added spicy layer of Rye.
It is quite light in color and has an easy-drinking, medium body. The hops provide a flavorful hop base while not being too biting.
The Beer
This IPA starts with a somewhat standard bill of 2 Row and some 60L Crystal for color and a bit of caramel and sweetness. Interesting, Flaked wheat is added for a bit of texture and, along with CaraPils, helps head retention. What makes this beer somewhat unique is the addition of 3 pounds of Rye. Rye adds a spicy, somewhat crisp, and perhaps peppery flavor to this IPA.
The hop treatment is US West Coast with Columbus and Mt. Hood hops providing the clean, citrus, refreshing bitterness. The First Wort Hopping technique is supposed to impart a smooth aroma/taste addition that is comparable to about a 20 min. addition.
The hopping schedule is finished off with a dry hopping addition of Columbus hops to give this beer a refreshing taste and aroma.

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 beer is very floral and friuty. An agreeable beer for sure. leaves a flavor in your mouth long after its drank.Agreeable by the many that have tasted it. I recently had a party of about 30 and shared it among other brews I have created. This one was the one everyone went back to. I seriously believe you wont be disasapointed if you try it. If you improve it or change it, I'd love to know how it turned out for you. Or if you followed the recipe, what your thoughts were. |

Notes: I used Marris Otter LME
Fermentation temperature was optimal for the first 3 days of fermentation. Then we had a heat wave and day time temps rose to into the 80's F. Used freezer packs and a swap cooler to keep fermenter temperatures 76-78 F.
Racked to secondary on day 7 and bottled on day 35 (4 weeks in secondary).
This is a malty, easy drinking game day ale; just enough hops to produce a slight twang and low ABV so you can enjoy more many while still making it through the 4th quarter and the post-game party. |

Añadir la levadura y aerear otro minuto.
Fermientación primaria llevará más tiempo del habnitual (15-20 días). Cuando los kiwis suban a la parte superior del cubo y estén casi blancos significará que se ha extraído todo el azucar y sabor.
Temperatura de fermentación 17-24.
Dejar acondicionar otros 10 días. |
