Notes: The original recipe calls for 30 IBUs. I'm adding more bittering hops this time around, partly because all these hops have been in my fridge for months. I also feel a bitter with some complexity can handle more bitterness.
brewed: Saturday May 16, 2020
grain temp: 73° F
mash temp: 152° F
pitch temp: 67.9° F
ferment temp on Sunday: 66-68° F
ferment temp on Monday: 72° F
bottled: May 30, 2020
Prime with 5 oz. corn sugar boiled in 2 cups water
Crown seal color: green
Yield: 50 bottles
OG = 1.056, FG = 1.010, 6% ABV
Color: amber, possibly 18-20 SRM
of course I tried the flat beer after bottling, and found it to be quite balanced. there's a chance this will develop some complexity over the summer months.. not bad for what started out as a hop leftovers Frankenbier!
June 17, 2020
The beer is now conditioned enough to drink. Tastes smooth, slightly bitter, with a honey aftertaste. Pleasant summer ale!

Notes: This is made with some ingredients that have passed expiration. Hop pellets are 1 year old. Grains are about 3 years old. Cocoa nibs have sitting in freezer for about a year.
Start on: 3/21/20
let pure pitch yeast warm to RT.
Steep grains and cocoa nibs 30min at 160F, sparge w/170F water.
Add water, gypsum and kosher salt. Add DME and bring to boil. Add cardemom, 2oz cascade. After 30' add 1oz hallertau. After 50' add 1oz cascade. After 60' of boiling turn off heat, chill.
Adjust carboy vol w/tap water. Aerate and check brix. Add yeast. aerate, ferment.
Brix = 14.8. OG ~1.061
3/22= Wort must have been to warm, because yeast is very slow to show signs of life. Add ~1/2 wy1056 today (~28hr after 1st pitch). Luckily Alison was brewing today.
3/31= Tfer to 2nd. Tastes a bit like ESB. I didn't think the small amount of nibs and cardemom would be very detectible.
Brix= ~9.8 (blurry), 1.025 grav, and 4.69% ABV.
4/2 = Brix=8.5, 1.017 FG, 5.76% ABV.
Bottle with 1/2c corn sugar.
bronze caps marked "Q"
4/9 = carbonated and tasty after 7 days. Very slight chocolate aroma. A bit hazy, but that may improve with time.
