| Notes: I plan to make my first yeast starter for this brew, Will create starter 3 days before brew day and cold crash it. Will cool wort down to a temp of 45F prior to pitching the yeast starter. Will gradually raise the temp to 50F by the 36th hour and leave it there for the remainder of fermentation. Will then transfer to secondary and lager it for 2 months at about 33-34F |

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: Three temperature profiles that seem to be popular among homebrewers are just off boil range 190–212 °F (88–100 °C), the sub-isomerization range 160–170 °F (71–77 °C), and a tepid hop stand range 140–150 °F (60–66 °C). The 190–212 °F (88–100 °C) range will allow essential oils with higher flashpoints an easier time to solubulize into the wort and also will allow some alpha acid isomerization to occur with the best estimates of between 5–15% utilization. Some homebrewers will keep their kettle burner on low to keep the temperature of the wort elevated above 200 °F (93 °C) during their extended hop stands which would better emulate the conditions in commercial whirlpools. A hop stand in the 160–170 °F (71–77 °C) range will basically shut down the alpha acid isomerization reaction and the lower temperatures will reduce the vaporization of the essential oils. Homebrewers can use their wort chillers to bring the wort down to this range before adding the knockout hops or they can add a second dose of knockout hops. The 140–150 °F (60–66 °C) range will once again reduce vaporization of the low flashpoint oils, but may take longer to get the same amount of essential oils extracted. |

Notes: 6/7/2016 used simpson golden promise, Malz pale wheat malt, and Briess Caravienne.
pH 5.2 in 5 Gallons of RO water at 165 for infusion mash.
Added brewing salts to the boil kettle approx. 7.5 gallons.
6.5 g of gypsum, 2g Calcium Chloride, 1.5 g Epsom Salt, 0.8 g NaCl.
3200 ml 1.040 starter for 24 hour with 2.5 month old yeast. Decant 50% since a low follucant yeast. went from 1.056 ( missed low on my numbers) to 1.014 in 48 hours. Conan/Pacman yeast is fast. But no blow-off. Kruszen was only 3" high. So different than WLP001. Which blows-off on me at 36 hour mark and ferments for 5 days.
Dry hopped 0n 6-17-16
Bottled on 6-21-16
Nice Dry Hop aroma
Taste was okay but needed more hop flavor
Next brew need to do longer hop stand or move some hops to the 10 and 5 min end of boil with some of the whirlpool hops
Taste is still drinkable 0n 09/20/16. Still big dry hop aroma. I surprised this has not dropped out yet. Taste is still okay yeast chalk bite flavor note has grown. Cant believe the long last hop aroma. Bright hop flavor just not strong enough flavor as in the nose.
Need to add only 5.5 gallons of brewing salts to boil. Might be a source of chalky taste |
