Notes: Raisin, Dates, and Honey:
Honey should be added with dates and raisins along with molasses. Recipe pending.
Oak Chips should be left for no more than 3-4 days. Taste regularly to validate completion.
Vanilla beans were prepared by cutting the length of the bean, and gutting the pulp, and then cutting the bean into small subsections. Then, both the bean and the pulp were placed in a small sterilized container with grain alcohol for 5 days. After 5 days, the entirety of the container was poured into the beer and it was left to sit for 4 days. It should be left for much longer as the vanilla flavor disappeared over time, perhaps tossed in at bottling.
Lactose was added to the beer 1 month before bottling. The lactose sugars were boiled in water for 15 minutes, and then tossed into the final product during racking. The lactose was stirred into the beer. This process is best done at keg application or bottling where the beer will not rack off the lactose sugars for maximum effect.

Notes: My first brewing trials were at best uninformed at worst misguided. The advice from my LHBS wasn't enough for a clear explaination until, the suggestion of Dave Lines' books published by AW. With these (the big book of beer & brewing beers like those you buy) in hand the procedure became understandable and process replicable.
This was a while ago in the mid-80's when home brewing information, ingredients, recipes, equipment, and knowledgble dialogue not as simple to find as it can be today. My interest piqued I continued to seek information and put what I learned into practice learning to brew beer. It was a lot of fun to make and enjoy a homebrewed beer. It still is!
Thanks for the help Dave. This batch is for the memory of you and your efforts are remembered and appreciated.
Thanks for the learning experience.
Cheers.

Notes: I've been sad that I couldn't do all grain because I only have a 5 gal pot. Then I realized that I can absolutely do a smaller batch to get my feet wet until I can afford that big brew kettle. So I built the mash tun and made an immersion chiller while I was at it. I created the recipe using Brewtarget and scaled for the 4.5 gal maximum I could boil.
Anyway, this is what I came up with for my first all grain brew. I wanted to keep it simple and basic. We'll see how it tastes and then work on repeating it. Once I can repeat it well I will begin with simple modifications. Then I will take over the world.....or just drink beer.
So far I've learned a lot. The mash process was fun and interesting. I will be working on reducing liquid loss in the tun for sure.
Fermentation just didn't seem to be happening. The yeast packet says to just sprinkle on the wort. Instead I took about a third of the packet and stirred it in, sprinkled the rest on top. Wort was at 73*, right in the range the yeast had called for. Nothing.
By Tuesday I decided to buy another packet of yeast. Sprinkled all on top. Two more days of nothing.
Then I brought the fermenter in to the kitchen. Within 30 minutes the airlock was speaking to me. Within two hours it was speaking loudly. It seems that this yeast doesn't like the cold of the 56* beer closet. The kitchen is always either 68* or 62* (programmable thermostat for the house) and it likes this much better.
So now that I have a 10 gallon pot and grain mill on order, I know what the next area of focus will be. It's time to start thinking about temperature control. I want to do it as green a possible. Insulation. Digital temperature monitoring and control using the Arduino. Could be fun.
Update: A week after bottling we tried two of these. The beer is amazingly clear with a color that is a very dark amber, not quite brown. There is a very fruity smell. Unfortunately they both tasted like vinegar. I'm not sure the cause, maybe sanitation. Maybe too high of fermentation temp? Maybe I got overanxious and overpitched the yeast? I'm thinking that it had something to do with the point at which I added that second packet of yeast and that the vigorous fermentation could have been a clue that something went wrong. |

Notes: My research found that erdinger is made with 2 types of wheat.
And the noble hops Perle, Tettnang, and Hallertau MF. Emphasis on flavoring/aroma low bittering.
Dbl decoction method used . My process is too much to enter steps in mash guidelines. Simplified for other viewers.

Notes: - Tasting notes: Color is perfect. Clarity (whirlfloc + gel) really helped. Lacing and head are spot on. The bittering could come up a tick (from 60 to 70 perhaps.) Amarillo feels pretty orang'y and almost mellow! Maybe try the same recipe but swap some of the Amarillo for Cascade or event Centennial (more aggressively citrus'y.) I think using two "aroma" hops isn't enough. Something heavy hitting like Simcoe, Centennial, etc is needed for the heavy, hoppy backbone...
Now to try Centennial instead of Citra and make the adjustments mentioned above: http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/91377/hopstand-ipa-v4-centennial-amarillo |

Notes: Sparge: Collect 27 qt
Spices:

Cut Vanilla Bean into halves
Notes on WLP005 Yeast:
Bottom fermenting ale yeast. White Labs recommends keeping in primary until fermentation is complete. Known as "ringwood". Esters and Fusel Alcohol noticeable. Best at 68 F. Over will increase ester and fusel alcohol notes. 7-10 fermentation. Serve-able within 2 weeks.
http://www.whitelabs.com/beer/audio/wlp005.mp3
Ideas for V4
- Longer Mash , 90 min. Temp swing will spend more time in lower 150's, upper 140's. More fermentable sugars = dryer finish. Full bodied porter with dry (non-sticky) finish would be tasty)
Changes from V3 to V3.1 (Gordon Strong suggestions)
- Crystal 60 up to 1 lb
- Brown down to .5 lb
- Infusion Mash at 151
- Ferment at 62, move it to 68 to finish, will make for a very clean profile
Changes from V2:
- Slightly expanded grain bill. Attempting to reduce some of the roasted-coffee qualities.
- Different hop profile to lower IBU's, balance porter more in favor of malt.
- Change over to Vanilla Extract for better vanilla flavor control
- Changing Cinnamon/Vanilla addition to Primary to increase presence
Changes from V1:
- Focused grain bill
- Removal of Roasted Barley in favor of Flaked Oats for less dryness, more silkiness
- Addition of Carapils for body
- Focused Hop bill - change to Northern Brewer for cleaner bittering
- Original Yeast blend was a limited offering. Change to British Ale Yeast WLP005
