Place 21 l water into FV, add 1/3rd crushed camden tablet
Take out 1l of water and boil, Add
*1kg of white can sugar,
*1 kg Of Amber soft sugar. (eqautes to 2l)
stir throughly then add back to FV, volume 23l
Place a muslin bag over the top of the FV and leave over night (no need to drop pH of water as limes will acidify the water when added the following day)

07-04-2025 @0900
slice/ zest the skins of 25unwashed unwaxed limes and place in a pasterused muslin bag, do not wash the limes, as I want to utilise the yeast on the skins
remove/ slice off any remainder of the white of the limes and discard
quarter the limes then squeeze the limess in a macerator juicer with 1cm of ginger. throw away the fibre produced (it contributes to bitterness)
Add the 1l of lime juice to the FV
Add some * ginger plant into the muslin bag , then hang the muslin bag of lime zest/ ginger plant inside the FV and secure the string to the outside of the FV with tape
DID NOT ADD YEAST NUTRIENT NOR YEAST i.e. I added yeast for my lemonade last year i.e. 1.5 tsp of yeast nutrient, 0.5 tsp yeast nutrient, 1 tsp of wine yeast (can use champagne yeast)

07-04-2025 @ 1230 OG=1.030, vol 24l
Will take 2-3 days to get started
Should finish at 1.010 ??? (so can RACK AT above that so no need to add priming sugar, so chill, then rack, or no chill and catch it early

BREW NOTES:
- Fine mill lead to stuck sparges. Had to clean and re-try each time. Use rice hulls next time!!
- DID NOT DO SECONDARY BOIL!!!
- Somehow... naturally fermented. Maybe in the pills? Wild berliner I guess. Noticed krausen but didn't check gravity. Added yeast and nothing much happened. Saved trub for yeast recovery.

TASTING NOTES:
- Pre-yeast pitching, base tasted pretty solid! Truer to berliners I've had commercially.
- Post fermentation, also tasting nice. Aroma could be better.. but taste is on point.

BOTTLING NOTES:
- Key lime.. pretty damn tasty. Strong key lime aroma but subtle key lime tartness. Complements the other flavors nicely. Still may need to cut back just a touch on the key lime next time.
- Mixed berry is more sour than fruity.. but delicious! Has a nice color and aroma but not as fruit forward as expected.
- Blended the Espresso and Strawberry Shortcake.. and was absolutely the right thing to do. Best of both worlds! Might be my new favorite of what we've done...

Notes: Feita no dia 22/07/2018.

Utilizamos a panela de 20L para sacarificação.

1ª vez utilizando a levedura da Lallemand e o lúpulo Comet

--

A fermentação correu como esperado, mas o rendimento inicial projetado era de 69% e decaiu a 63%. Acreditamos que a razão é o uso de um malte ruim associado a um controle porco da sacarificação.

--

A cerveja ficou muito boa, como esperado. No entanto, ainda está fortemente desequilibrada no sentido do lúpulo. O Eduardo acredita que é possível reduzir em 25% a carga total de lúpulo de sabor e aroma, sem perda significativa de percepção.

--

O Comet ainda ficou tímido perto do Chinook que é extremamente pungente. A sugestão é mudar o balanço desses lúpulos, aumentando a carga de comet, especialmente nas etapas finais da brassagem.
