adjusted volume and turned up the projected attenuation

last minute pulling out the oats. worried about stuck mash and wont be able to babysit....

===============================
2/15/2022
got water report updating to that, looks like ph will be a little high so adding a little phosphoric acid.

thinking about mash. G40 is 11 gal in mash so we'll go 1 qt/lb mash thickness on 28 lbs grain. adding a line for DME in case we go to that later.

looks like it will be a little over 7 gallons strike water and 5 gallons sparge water.

pitching 1 jar of RVA 101 into almost a gallon of 1040 starter wort 2 days before. no stir plate.

===============================
2/8/2022
wondering if this will all fit in the GF. could possibly do it all in the cooler or split between the two.

thinking about setting this up early in the day to mash during work and have it boil for 3 hours while i do dinner/bedtimes. setup the GF in the driveway if possible - will be a lot of steam.

see big beer schedule https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gaWvnYevKP9I8mmRzW54MrnqfOVuWlsOEhzyezW-kaY/edit#gid=0

===============================

adding notes to sparge strategy to try to achieve decent efficiency.
adjusting yeast - use rva 132 plus 3L starter

===============================
12/1/2021
* adding oats and removing DME for now.
** adjusting recipe for 65% efficiency and trying to hit 10%abv counting the oats as zero points contribution.
** probably want to use a grain bag if possible
** remember to take preboil gravity, and throughout. maybe last 10 minutes of the boil take gravity and decide whether or not to throw in some DME
* adjusting to 2 hour boil
* will plan to double mash.
** not sure the plan for that because g40 will be maxed out at 10g preboil and thats without grain
** ...maybe just take the first mash out and put the 2nd one in. then take it out and sparge to get to volume? will be leaving behind sugars in first mash...
** ...alternatively sparge both mashes. after first mash and sparge and mash is pulled, should have about 6-7 gallons, that should leave enough space to drop the 2nd mash in. when that comes out, i would think we'd then have 5-6 gallons left. and will have to sparge to get the rest of the way. 2nd mash will have absorbed some of the 1st mash wort so it should probably be richer in the end for more sparging?
===============================
11/3/2021

RECIPE REBUILD
* reducing roasted barley from 1.25 down to 0.5
* reducing black patent from 1.25 to 0.5
** wanted to use less but keeping it here to get within SRM for style
* adding 1lb 120L for flavor and body
* get rid of the fricking kviek!!! change to london3
* adjusting efficiency to 70% :
** going to 2 hour boil
** im now on G40 which has been doing 2gal/hr so we'll go from 10g down to 6 during a 2 hour boil

for yeast would need rva 132 200B pack and a 2L starter or equivalent

todo :
* need to figure out yeast requirements (packs, starters...)
* consider oats
** its 21 lb grain...consider double mash
** ...if double mash consider more base grain and less DME
** any changes to grain bill, try to keep abv at 10%...

===============================
11/2/2021
this brew came out tasting funky again. submitted to JRHB dominion cup they said umami and i think that is correct. This is the third time this has happened to varying degrees, I previously thought it might be bad ingredients but I think hothead and/or too much roasted malt is to blame...

===============================
5/1/21
Not sure what happened only came to 1.100 OG even after the 2 hour boil and DMe. It was 1075 before the DME.

Last minute adding 2 lb base malt and reducing DME. Gonna play by ear how much dme to add
===============================
4/30/21
booting this back up for big brew day with ryan tomorrow. we are doing two 5 gallon mash sparges into my 15 gallon kettle to boil all at once so that could change things. im expecting better efficiency even without the dry malt extract. plan to boil 90 minutes, check gravity, then potentially add 3 or 6 lbs total DME for the 10 gallon batch. i think we will need 14 gallons to start, boil down to 11 or 11.5, leave 1 behind for trub.
===============================
5/25/2020
FG 1.036 (cold sample)
appears the starter wasnt necessary and didnt do anything anyway. Hit an official 10%
===============================
5/11/2020
SG 1.036 - made a 2x starter from a new hothead pack and tossed half of it into the batch.
===============================
5/2/2020
SG 1.041
===============================
4/27/2020
SG 1.045 fermented like crazy the first couple days just off the kveik pack no starter.
===============================
4/16/2020
brew day. Idk what just happened I hit 1.112 and high volume really, couldnt tell exact because of the foam but maybe it was only 5. I guess eff prob goes up if u add a lot of DME. This could be disaster or awesome
===============================
4/15/2020
just changing the batch size from 6.5 down to 5.5 and taking the 2row down from 15lb to 12lb to still arrive at 10%. considering using kviek yeast for this....

===============================
3/24/2020
revamping this for another attempt. shamefully adding dme and predicting over 70 eff to land at 10%. other than that no real changes. worried it might be too bitter hoppy? would like to NOT split the batch and just do 2 vanilla beans. bourbon oak would be nice but i feel that the failure of the last batch was from trying to do too much at once.
===============================
9/30/19
brewed this on the road, came out with more than 6 gallons at 1.080 which was a mistake shouldve boiled longer. also used some old hops which may be putting off strange flavors.

9/23/19
base recipe is Stone RIS clone found in byo magazine. recipe is scant, and doesnt really add up : https://byo.com/recipe/stone-imperial-russian-stout-clone/ . posted recipe is for 65% efficiency so actually less efficient than my system but i added a pound more base malt anyway to try to get over 10%abv. yeast is a little unclear wlp002 listed 65-70% attenuation so we will have to be perfect and hit 70% to get over 10%abv. but then this amounts to 1030 FG, recipe is listed at 1020. could use wlp007 english dry ale if hittin FG was a concern but i think extra sweetness in this beer is going to be ok.

ORANGE

1/4oz bitter
1/2oz sweet

https://brewgr.com/recipe/59297/chocolate-orange-stout-oatmeal-stout-recipe
fresh orange peel and juice
(essentially a whole orange)

mrbeer
https://www.mrbeer.com/barleys-brew-chocolate-orange-stout
4oz bakers unsweetened chocolate
2 medium oranges
take off the skins but not too much pith
they soak skins in 1/2 cup vodka, adding allof it
maybe use a thin glass so the vodka covers more

final thoughts
use the brewers peel sweet and bitter, soak in vodka with vanilla bean
use thin glass
add the whole thing
optional : plus the orange juice

CHERRY

AHA
https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/choc-full-o-cherry-porter/
frozen sour cherries

HBT
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/chocolate-cherry-stout.326884/
cherry juice concentrate
might be better in reducing sugar and other flavors....

final stand
a) i guess prob just use frozen cherries. not sour! sweet/dark any other kind than sour
b) cherry juice concentrate? how sour?
Dark cherries. Aha recipe calls for 5 to 10 lb per 10 gal batch. I think I will go with 5. For split batch 3.333

Notes: Going with lower crystal since this yeast leaves higher residual sweetness.
Looking for a very dry beer that's session worthy, but has good malt and hops- hops on the nose and up front.

Brewed on 07/03/15: Full 6 gallons at 12.3 Brix (1.047). Mashed @150.8. Pitched @68.
Filled dip stick to 7.25, ended with about 6.25 or so.
ON THE MONEY!

07/08/15: Raised temp to 68
07/11/15: Raised temp to 69
07/14/15: Raised temp to 70.
07/20/15: 4 days before kegging. Refractometer read 5.6 brix ( 1.0097 @4.8% alcohol via Sean T Calc) - Around 78% attenuation.

07/23/15: Kegged a full 5 gallons. 5.2 Brix (1.008FG @ 5% alcohol)

08/02/15: Sampled some and it's actually not as dry/crisp/hoppy as i wanted it. The big 10 min addition of hops is not accurate- It feels more like 20ish IBUs instead of 31.
I would hop to 35 and add finishing hops next time to around 40, and I would mash this at 148. I'll see what happens once it's fully carbed up. I might brew this again and then do a porter ;)

08/05/15: Sampled a full 20oz glass. It's actually a bit hoppier than I remember, and it looks beautiful and has hop presence - awesome summer beer.
Next time mashing at 148 and raising base IBUs by 5.

10/05/15: Tastes the last bits and the carbonic acid bite was mostly gone. The beer did lose a lot of freshness though and there wasn't a whole lot of malty sweetness anymore. Color wise it's very pretty.

Notes: May only add 2 oz of Chocolate malt incase the wood would create a darker color. The goal is to get a red color of the beer.

Goal to be similar to http://terrapinbeer.com/brew/retired-bee/oaked-big-hoppy-monster/
