Notes: Did the steeping of grains by 1 qt to 1lb if grains. Added grain and brought just to a boil and then covered and let sit. Brought 1 gal filtered water to near boil and added DME (6lbs at first, then 3more after getting closer to boil again). Took around 25 minutes of steeping before water was boiling. Poured 1 gal of water plus 1 qt that was saturating the grains and poured through grains 2x. Brought back to a boil and started the clock with the first hop addition (60min). Calypso 1oz to start. Citra 2oz at 45 and 30. Another shot of Calypso at 15. Added the sugar and irish moss at 10. Last hop add of German Hull Melon at 2 minutes.

To get the wort down, I tried to put in the sink with cold water (initial some ice). Once the water was warm, I refilled with cold. Did this for 15 min or so. Then to wort chiller and added 3 gal of almost frozen spring water.

Chilled to 67 and pitched yeast. OG was around 1.076. Lower than I wanted since I added .5gal too much water (than I intended)

Started 8:45 ended 11:45, all in.
Difficulty starting to ferment (3rd day). Moved to warmer room and shook it up and then it took off. Had to create a blow off system since it was foaming so much.

1 week transferred to secondary, no issue. FG was down to 1.010! Not sure how but the yeast apparently were hungry. THis puts the ABV closer to 8.5 and drops the IBU probably below 100.

Another week plus (11/30/15) bottled. Tasted as expected - Belgian round malty flavors, yeasty (very cloudy as well), but with a bit of bitterness all around. Not quite the 100 range bitterness, but that's probably due to the high malt flavors and the high ABV fire. Could be a good balance.

Used 5.5g of corn sugar for a slightly higher carbonation rate. Hoping for more of the seltzer-ish fine effervescence.

Should probably wait until after the new year to test and early Feb for release.....

Notes: This requires a decoction mash. I pulled out a section of thick mash and boiled it a handful of time, causing the deepening and darkening of the wort.

It also smelled amazing. Highly recommended.

Notes: Yeast was Omega Mexican Lager (OYL-113) supposed to be the same strain as WLp940. Hop schedule inspired by NE IPA, wanted to try it for a lager.

Notes: This is a perfect clone, I got my hands on 12 bottle of Fresh Squeezed and had some of beer loving neighbors over for a blind tasting. Of eleven tasters only two thought there was even a subtle difference between them and those two tasters both thought the clone was the original. They both chose the clone as the slightly crisper/fresher tasting beer. If the photo uploads properly you will see how much this clone resembles the original, the clone is on the left.

Mash Munich and crystal malts at 155°F (68°C) for 40 minutes, or until Munich malt reaches conversion. Drain, rinse, and dissolve extract completely before proceeding with boil.

Let the knock out (Citra) hops steep for 10 minutes.

Pitch cooled wort at 67°F (19°C) and allow temperature to rise naturally to 70°F (21°C). When fermentation is complete, dry hop in primary fermenter for five days.

Drink it as fresh as possible (~2-3 weeks after packaging) for maximum late hop character.

Notes: OC Fair 2016 - Honorable Mention - rated 35.6 (category 28b)
brew day - 06/17/2015
yeast starter - 1 liter at 100 grams

Mash Efficiency
2 Row - 37 x 7 / 6 = 43
WW - 37 x 2 / 6 = 12.3
FW - 36 x 1 / 6 = 6
Total - 61.43
PPG = 1.030*6 / 10 = 18 (target 30ppg)
Efficiency = 18 / 61.43 = 30% - did a 75 min mash at 149 - not sure why the efficiency was so low.
Post Boil OG - hit target 1.055 - raised dextrose to 1lb from 1/2lb

appearance - thick white foam head (wheat proteins), active carbonation
appearance - pale golden straw to slight sunburst (bw honey), clear with slight cloudy (bottled unfiltered), sediment in bottom / last pour
aroma - earth, spice, slight fruit and floral
flavor yeast - complexity from Brett and slight sour - typical farmhouse with tempered funk
flavor bitter hops - willamette - peppery herbaceous with notes of floral / fruit
flavor / Aroma hops - willamette -fragrant, spicey, woody, herbal aroma - slight citrus to earthy, woody flavor - some fruit and floral notes
overall - an ode to the early American immigrants and Midwest farmers - seemingly simple from the outside but complex if you choose to go deeper. A bold pioneering spirit (spice and slight sour) for enjoying the freedom once expressed on America’s plains. Dry and sessional for a functional humid thirst quenching experience but as with history develops a richer complexity with age. It is born of hands from the earth (wood, herbal, floral, wheat) labored with authentic materials (leather, metallic) and finished with a mysterious and wild funkiness. Overall an easily approachable beer for new or old community bonding with enough depth to start a conversation.

Notes: Looking to get a fairly low attenuation ~65% so mash temp needs to be higher then recommended.
Bottle and carbonate for 1 month. Then store at 40 F for 1-3 years!!

Notes: Első pihi 65 fokon.
Olyan lett, amulyennek vártam, OG 14,5, jó az illata :)

Nagyon alacsony FG, kicsit alkoholos vizes először, de később javul.
Egy kis testet és több komlót elbírna még, de haladunk.
