Notes: Water: Target ion levels under 100 ppm each.
Target mash pH 5.2-5.6 (This winds up to be 5.49 expected with additives)
Idea is to create a wort with low fermentability and even some starch remaining.
Ferment with primary WLP051.
After primary fermentation is complete, rack to your aging vessel of choice (shoot for as low oxygen permeability as possible to limit acetic acid) and add WLP655.
Once souring has reached our satisfaction (8-12 months typically), add the fruit. This series will split the sum batch into two different fruit options for maximum experimentation.
After 2-3 months, rack off fruit sludge and package.

Notes: Brewed on 1/14/2021. First beer in Stillwater house. BIAB Method
Mashed at 155 degrees F for 75 minutes. Starting volume = 9.25 gallons at 159 degrees F to hit mash temp of 155 degrees F.
Starting volume after mash = 8.25 gallons.
SG = 7.7 brix = 1.0306
OG = 6 gallons @ 1.043 refractometer and hydrometer.
Pitched Nottingham at 68 degrees F.
Yeast activity was low to nil on 1/19/2021 so I kegged the beer. However, gravity was 1.015 g/L via hydrometer and 1.014 g/L via refractometer (should have been ~1.009 g/L). May have kegged beer a bit too soon or higher mash temp led to high FG.
Keg was carbonated to 6 psi and left in house (no CO2 attached) to see if beer FG continues to drop. Keg temp ~ 65 degrees F. |
