Notes: Single infusion mash at 154 for 90 mins. Raise to 168 for mash out and hold for 10 mins.

Boil 60 mins. Cool to 66 after flameout and pitch yeast. Hold temp at 66-68 until gravity is 5 points from final (1024) and then let temp rise to 72 until finished.

Low level of carbonation.

Used Northern brewer @11.0 AA rather than Target for bitterness as shop didn’t have Target.

I tweaked the recipe to add 1 of challenger at 20 mins vs .5oz at 60 and 1 oz of north down at 10 vs. .5 oz at 15 as the AA on the hops I was using was a lot lower than standard and I wanted to get more aroma from them.
Gravity as start of boil was 1059. OG was 1063 after boil, so 72% efficiency. Pitched 250 ml of yeast from previous Pub beer that had finished fermenting. Cooked wort to 67 degrees from 71.

After 24 hours gravity dropped 25 points to 1038. After 48 hours it was 1023 and wort chilled to 63.
After 70 hours gravity 1021. Added 1 oz EKG and raised temp to 65.

Raised temp slowly to 69 by day 6 when gravity was 1018. Increased attenuation to 72% from 69 standard. Also added 2 tablespoons of yeast cake after 5 days when gravity was stuck at 1021.

Notes: used a bit more water than planned and collected a lot more, probably due to running hose to bottom of cooler under grain bag, eliminating dead space. This may explain high efficiency.
Additionally, squeezed hop bag and got almost a half gallon of extra wort.
Or maybe I really had much lower ph and that made a difference.
Final note- initially measured OG at 1.07, then mixed wort and got 1.062

Notes: BREW NOTES
First brewed 30/08/2015. Want to try push mash temp up and see whether improves mash efficiency.

MASH NOTES.
Only getting around 60-63% efficiency. Have tried all manner of things to bump up. Looked through old notes and remembered that even with a pre Tun heat up, I still need an extra 2 deg C on top of brewers friend calcs. Last 3 brews all around 64-65 deg C mash temp on purpose.(wanted drier beers then but efficiency suffered) This time have bumped up mash temp extra 2 deg aiming for 67-68 deg C over 90 mins. Extra 2 deg C last thing to test before changing to smaller esky cooler Tun.
Ambient temp 18 deg C (end of winter) 30/08/2015
I have tun insulated with cardboard and wrapped in blanket.
Single Infusion.
Grain temp 13 deg C

Actual Strike 79.5 Deg C. Adjust for your equipment.
After 30 mins sitting on 67-68 Deg C. Stirred
After 60 mins sitting on 66 Deg C. Added 2L boiling water. No noticeable temp changed.
After 90 mins finished at

Final Gravity
ABV %

After BREW Notes
Mash temp rise to 68deg C haven't worked. Hit 1.076 but 22L. This is 63% which is my standard efficiency. I added 2L of fresh water to bring it down to 1.070 may add another 1L to make 1.067. Brewer's Friend calcs at 63% efficiency. Had my usual 34 liter to start boil. Left a bit more in pot so not as much trube went in, but still 6L off. Not sure why the extra boil off today.
The extra 2L of water isn't something I like to do, but ABV would be too high for 1 packet of dry yeast. Extra water will bring with some oxygen to aid yeast. Should it attenuate as per all my other brews 80%+ 1.010 i'll end up with an imperial-ish 7.8% 1.012 finish 7.6% down side is I wanted a hoppy plain-ish IPA lucky the extra IBU's are in it as it will still be a balanced beer with a 1.012+ finish.

FG 1.016 added extra water.ABV 6.69%

Notes: Go with multi-rest again 140-145 for 30 and 152 for 30. For this batch try using a starter with proper pitch rate instead of dry yeast pack. Use 2 Safale-US05 with 1.25L starter. Bag and sink hops this time. Went with all pellet hops. Still target 11 day dryhop.

Notes: It turned out dry and tart, with some bitterness (too much to be honest). This beer is red, and so is the foam. If you like dry and tart with a nice natural fruit aftertaste, this might be your beer. I ended up finishing the beer with some lager yeast from a fresh yeast cake because the saison yeast stalls, as it frequently does.

Flowers and fruit sat for 7 days in primary. FG was 1.010 as expected.

Notes: First... I don't understand why the formula gives these specific gravities... my OG lands at 1.067/68 and FG at 1.008/06.

The Rolled Oats consist of toasted Quaker Oatmeal(laid out in toaster oven until heavily toasted).

Grains are put into bag in a 5 gallon water cooler, covered with about 2.5 gallons of water at 149 degrees. After 30 minutes check water... add and stir enough 185 degree water to bring temp up to 148 for about 30 to 40 minutes. Total mash time of appx 1 hour. Sparge with 185-190 degree water to make about 3.5 gallon wort.

For me this wort has a SG of 1.022 at 60 degrees.

Add DME. After hot break start adding hops.
Boil 1 hour...Add brown sugar and honey during last 15 minutes of boil.

To cool, I set my 30 quart aluminum brewpot into an ice bath. I use a large plastic tote with 4, 10 lb bags of ice and water. With regular stirring of the wort, this usually cools it from around 190 down to 80 degrees within 40 minutes.

I keep 2 gallons of water in the freezer for about 20 minutes. I pour my chilled wort into the fermenter and then add the 2 gallons to make about 5.5 gallons.

Re-hydrate 2 packs of Nottingham dry yeast, pitch and ferment at 65 to 70 degrees for 7 to 10 days.
Rack to secondary for 5-7 days.
Bottle and condition for at least 10-15 days.

Bottle condition with 4 oz. of cane sugar for a minimum of 10 to 15 days. A 60 day conditioning is recommended.
Enjoy!

Now... the reason I call this beer a "specialty beer" is because of the feel and after taste. I believe that because of the low mash temperature and "neutral" flavor of the Nottingham yeast, this beer has a hard time fitting into the stout category... it's just too dry, light and crisp tasting to be a stout or porter. I waited until my 2nd brewing and finishing before publishing this recipe. If anyone wants to give it a try and then offer any advice or criticism I'd love to hear it.
