Notes: Specifications: (from the original 5.5 gal recipe)

Yield: 5.5 U.S gallons (20.82 L)
Original Gravity: 1.059 (14.5° P)*
Final Gravity: 1.006 (1.5° P)
ABV: 8.5 , IBU: 30 , SRM: 3 , Boil Time: 60 minutes, Efficiency: 75%

Directions: (from the original 5.5 gal recipe)

*Note on the Original Gravity: 1.059 (14.5° P) with kettle addition of sugar, 1.066 (16.25° P) with primary addition of sugar, 1.070 (17° P) with priming sugar. Using reverse osmosis water treated with 1 gram calcium sulfate per gallon (0.26 g/liter), mash grains at 147° F (64° C) for 60 minutes. Raise to 151° F (66° C) and hold another 30 minutes. Mash out at 168° F (76° C) for 10 minutes. Collect wort and boil for 60 minutes, adding 1 lb. dextrose to kettle for 15 minutes before knockout. Chill to 64° F (18° C) and oxygenate wort. Pitch active yeast starter. A day after high kräusen is reached (usually 3 to 4 days from pitching) add 12 oz (340 g) dextrose to just enough water to dissolve. Boil the solution 10 minutes, cool briefly and add it directly to primary. Allow primary temperature to rise from 64° F to 78°F (26° C), applying heat if necessary. When final gravity is reached, usually after about 8 days, add (or rack onto) gelatin fining solution and crash to 32° F (0° C). Hold at this temperature for 21 days. Rack clear beer and blend thoroughly with a solution of 8 oz (227 g) dextrose and a dose of fresh yeast (an active starter of the Belgian Golden strain, or properly rehydrated Champagne dry yeast). Bottle in sturdy brown bottles. Keep bottles at 75° F (24° C) for two weeks to allow for carbonation. Chill a bottle and verify carbonation has reached around 4 volumes. If this is the case, cold-store remaining bottles for six weeks at 40° F (4° C) to allow beer to smooth out and mellow.

EDIT:
Adjusted grain bill for reduced brewhouse efficiency of 70%.

(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.070 FG = 1.017
IBU = 30 SRM = 32 ABV = 7%

An ode to Anchor Brewing Co.’s annual holiday release Our Special Ale with advice gleaned from former longtime Anchor Brewmaster Scott Ungermann.

Ingredients
12.5 lbs. (5.7 kg) 2-row pale malt
13 oz. (370 g) crystal malt (40 °L)
6 oz. (170 g) chocolate malt
6 oz. (170 g) Briess Midnight Wheat malt
6 oz. (170 g) Special B malt
6 oz. (170 g) Briess Victory® malt
6.8 AAU Northern Brewer hops (60 min.) (0.8 oz./23 g at 8.5% alpha acids)
2.2 AAU Cascade hops (60 min.) (0.4 oz./11 g at 5.5% alpha acids)
1.25 oz. (35 g) Fuggle hops (dry hop)
1⁄2 tsp. ground cardamom (mash)
1⁄4 tsp. ground cinnamon (5 min.)
1⁄2 tsp. ground coriander (5 min.)
1⁄2 tsp. ground juniper berries (5 min.)
1 tsp. bitter orange peel (5 min.)
0.2 oz. (8 g) gypsum (optional if using very low mineral water)
White Labs WLP051 (California Ale V), Wyeast 1272 (American Ale Yeast II), or Mangrove Jack’s M36 (Liberty Bell Ale) yeast
3⁄4 cup corn sugar (for priming)

Step by Step
Mill grains and mix with cardamom and 5.9 gallons (22.4 L) of 160 °F (71 °C) strike water and optional gypsum to reach a mash temperature of 149 °F (65 °C). Hold this temperature for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until your runnings are clear. Sparge the grains with 1.7 gallons (6.5 L) of 168 °F (76 °C) water and top up if necessary to obtain 6.25 gallons (24 L) of wort.

Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops according to the ingredients list. Add the cinnamon, coriander, juniper berries, and bitter orange peel in the last five minutes. Once you reach an original gravity of 1.070, turn off the heat and chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 65 °F (18 °C). If using liquid yeast, aerate the wort with pure oxygen or filtered air before pitching yeast. Ferment at 67 °F (19 °C) for four days. Add dry-hop addition and raise to 72 °F (22 °C) for three days. Once at terminal gravity (approximately seven days total) bottle or keg the beer and carbonate to 2.6 volumes CO2.

Extract with grains version:
Replace the pale malt with 7 lbs. (3.2 kg) extra light dried malt extract. Fill pot with 5.2 gallons (19.7 L) of water and optional gypsum. Place grains and cardamom in a large muslin bag and submerge into the water. Begin heating and when the water reaches 165 °F (74 °C) remove the grains, allowing to drip back into the pot. Turn off heat and stir in the malt extract until completely dissolved. Bring to a boil and boil for 60 minutes, adding hops and spices according to the ingredients list.

After 60 minutes, turn off the heat and chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 65 °F (18 °C). Aerate the wort with pure oxygen or filtered air (if using a liquid yeast strain), pitch yeast, and top up fermenter to 5.25 gallons (20 L).

Follow the remainder of the instructions from the all-grain recipe.

Notes: Birch sap (eau de bouleau) was tapped from trees and used to brew this beer. The yeast used is not clean Champagne yeast but instead the reused lees from a honeywine brew which was fermented using the wild yeasts in the honey and added champagne yeast. The hops used were wild picked and stored in the freezer (-19C).

Notes: 1.7L starter

Continuous hopping! Add 1/2 the warrior at 60 minutes and then add a little at a time until 35 minutes. AT 35 minutes, mix the amarillo and simcoe together and add a little at a time until you are at 0. Try to time the additions so that you end up with a few hops still at 0 minutes.
