Notes: Brewed 26-5-18

Carafa II special (dehusked) malt used
Very slow sparge
Pre-boil 1.044
OG 1.062

After a very good brew day I had a lot of trouble getting temp from 16°C to the 17/18 range I was hoping. Dropped to 15°C overnight and took 2.5 days to begin fermentation.
Then I overshot temp up to 21/22°C following that.
Tasted on 29-5-18 and tasted good with no off flavours or infection.
1.020 31-5-18 - Temp around 21°C, tasting good with light alcohol on nose. Moderate fruity esters, hints of banana and dark fruits. Plenty of malt character and yeast character.
1.008 3-6-18 Temp around 22°C, tasting good still. Good balance between malt, esters and bitterness.
FG1.008
Bottled 17-6-18
9/8/18 Drinking quite well. Not as happy as I would like but still a very good beer. Too dark for the style. Next time I’ll use only 60L Belgian Candi syrup. Less syrup overall. I will also improve yeast pitch rate and temp control.

Notes: Two packets of Lalvin D47 Wine Yeast (only ferments to ~ 14%)
Yeast Starter directions from "Compleat Meadmaker" - 6.5 cups of water, tablespoon of Light DME, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 tsp Nutrient, 1/4 tsp Energizer. Bring water, nutrient, energizer, & malt extract to a boil for 15 minutes, remove from heat, add honey, cover with foil. I'll let this sit on my stir plate for about 42 hours before pitching.

Warm a couple gallons of water to ~140 F or so to mix in the clover honey which was purchased at Costco. Use chilled water to bring down to pitching temp & volume up to ~5 gallons (I went up to about 5.75 gallons). OG for me was 1.12-1.13.

Then follow nutrient additions with 1/4 tsp energizer and 1/2 tsp nutrient at 24 hours, then again at 48 hours, then again after 30% of sugar has been depleted. Two weeks of primary before racking to secondary. Warm the organic "strawberry spread" from Costco in some ~140-150 degree water just to be safe, then rest until room temp, then add in to secondary for two more weeks before racking a 3rd time.

Notes: Easy to make, comes out clean and has a smooth body, somewhat dry

NOTES:

For yeast, I use 1 packet of Wyeast Cider Yeast 4766

Indian Summer Apple Cider is the preferred apple cider if using store bought. (Uses Vitamin C)

DIRECTIONS:
Add remaining apple cider to fermenter along with sugar. Oxygenate cider and add yeast packet. Stir together and cap.

Stir cider on second day to degass. Check gravity after 4 days, stir again to degass. Once stable, transfer to secondary, and let sit for an additional 2 weeks. Should be clear. After two weeks, add hops and dryhop for 7 days.

Cold crash for 24 hours, add to bottling bucket with dextrose priming sugar. Use priming calculator for exact amount.

♦ Supporting Documents : YEAST COMPARISON
http://brulosophy.com/2014/10/06/is-san-diego-really-all-that-super-a-yeast-comparison/?shared=email&msg=fail

♦ Yeast Starter
3 cups boiling water. Add 1 cup DME to boiling water for 10 minutes. Sanitize everything and pour in Pyrex. Transfer to ice bath and cool to room temp 70°. FG: 1.040 Stir plate 24-48 hours or Swirl occasionally.

♦White Labs: Each vial of White Labs liquid yeast is designed to be used directly in 5 gallons 75-150 billion cells. One vial will usually start fermentation in 5 gallons in 5-15 hours at 70°F. One vial can be added directly to a 2 liter starter, which in 2 days will grow to approximately 240 billion cells

♦ STANDARD BREWING NOTES: BIAB
♫Create 8.5 gallons sparge water. Bring to 154° strike temperature. Prime pump. Pump water through hose.
Add tablespoon 5.2 pH balancer
♫Add 2 drops Fermcap before adding grain.
♫Add grain – Sparge at 154° for 90 minutes (Minimum 60) (One gallon loss during sparge process) Water burn rate: 1-1/2 gallon per hour.
♫Boil clean water for end of boil session adjustment. Adjust to 5.5 water line.
•Dark beers – Add x tablespoon Calcium Carbonate
•IPA beers – Add 5 tablespoon Gypsum for IPA
•Fitter Hoppier AG - American IPA

WAKE UP!!!!!!
15 minutes – Add Immersion chiller
15 minutes - Add Whirlfloc
10 minutes – Add 1 teaspoon Yeast Nutrient last

♦ Check to see if fermentation tank nozzle is pointed upwards

♦ KEGGING NOTES:
Purge oxygen with CO2
Chill keg 24 hours before force carbonation.
Force Carbonation Calculator: 20 psi 4 days
Volumes of CO2 2.5 at 36°F = 10.2 psi American Ales

♦ The Decoction Method
All decoction mashes start with a single infusion step where hot water is added to the mash to start the mashing process. Typical temperatures for the first step vary. Multiple step decoctions are often used. Some examples of steps include:
