Notes: First batch was 5.25 gal of 1.112 (18 lbs of my honey added)
- Added Nardone yeast (2 packs, 3 in future) not cooled it down to room temperature after following yeast package. Overly sluggish start, took almost 5 days. Fermentation was sluggish. Fermentation had no airlock activity after 3 weeks. Lots of shaking to degass --> next time I will use the degassing tool that I have. Very sweet when sampled during first rack, but quite delightful.
Second batch was 4.5 gal of 1.096 (11 lbs added)
- Added half of the yeast (2 packs total) directly to the fermentor and half according to package instructions. Proper start, fermentation activity slowed after 2 weeks. Lots of shaking to degas --> next time I will use the degassing tool that I have. The first rack to secondaries tasted the best it ever had.
Secondaries
5.25 gal Sacred blue (8 lbs blueberries, 1 lb of mulberries) + 1.5 vanilla beans in tertiary (1 week) then add one cinnamon stick for another week (test it often)
2.5 gal of strawberry mead (3 lbs of strawberries and a handful of mulberries for colour) + tequila chips (1 week or so, test it often)
1 gal of lavender mead (2.2g of 3 week air-dried homegrown lavender, 6 days )
1 gal of chamomile mead (1 oz of chamomile from one SFB package, 6 days)
Any "left over" mead will become straight mead in a bottle.
- ZERO mead leftover. Perfect volumes.

other advice:
- I was using Lalvin EC - 1118 yeast is I was shooting for about 18% alcohol, but for most dark berry recipes I'd recommend Lalvin 71B-1122 vice D47. D47 is perfect for traditional Meads, 71B-1122 is made to bring out dark berry flavors. Just my opinion.

Notes: Add vanilla bean tincture and roasted cacao nibs into fermenter after bottling several “straight” bottles.
Roast 8 oz cacao nibs on day of use: 350F for 15 min
BREW DAY (13-Dec-19):
7 mL hop shots at 120 min, whirlfloc and yeast nutrient at 5 min.
60 sec of O2 delivered. Ferment at 64F. Pitched at 75F, chill to ferm temp in fridge.
UPDATE (26-Dec-19):
Bottled 6 with coopers drops (Yakima caps). Added 6 oz toasted cacao nibs and ~1 oz of vanilla bean tincture (= 2.5 beans). Let sit for 3 days before kegging. Bottle remainder with two variant ideas below.
29-DEC-19:
Kegged 3 gal, after 24 hr in kegerator, carb at 30 psi for 24 hr
0.8 oz table sugar dissolves in 8 oz water to prime ~1 gal of remaining RIS, target ~2 vol CO2.
Added 5 oz cold brew (6 oz into quart of water, strained down into 1/2 quart, 24 hr in fridge). Bottled 6 beers (CCV). Added 2 oz of 3 oz total of cinnamon/ancho tincture (0.1 oz cinnamon stick and 0.5 oz ancho peppers (at least two years old) in ~4 oz vodka for two weeks. Bottled 5 beers (CMC).
12-JAN-20:
Added 0.3 oz cinnamon stick and 1.5 oz ancho peppers (both chopped up) to vodka. After 2 weeks, add to kegged RIS after straining solids.
22-JAN-20:
Strained solids and ended up with 6 oz vodka tincture. Added to almost full, cold 3 gal keg, purged headspace 5 times and shook up. Taste test after 24 hr and see where carbonation and flavor are at.
Tasted a bottle of CCV, carbonation was spot on, so moved all bottles to cellar temp. Dark chocolate and coffee flavor predominate, still want increases roastiness added next time (roasted barley). |
