Notes: My son sent me a pic of this beer he enjoyed in Chicago. Asked if I could duplicate. BA has it at 91 which is pretty respectable. I'm going to give it a go to get it really close and impress the neighbors. this version is using extract and partial mash. I will work up an all grain once I get my 2-row in.

taken from the Revolution Brewing description of the beer:
Fist City, a crushable Chicago pale ale named after the Loretta Lynn tune. It is brewed with lots of 2 row and red wheat with a little specialty malt for a beautiful golden hue. A blend of Centennial, Citra, Chinook, Cascade and Crystal hops give the beer its flavor and aroma. This beer is meant to be a supremely drinkable brew for those who love hops. Magnificent California hop aromas play in perfect harmony with this brew’s extremely satisfying finish.
ABV: 5.5% IBU: 40 SRM unknown; this recipe is from one I found on the web and have no comments as to its closeness to the beer. My son is visiting for Christmas and will bring some home to compare with this batch I plan to brew. certainly a complex hops schedule.

Notes: * American Amber(Red)Ale with a sharp bite of citrusy hops.
* American 2-row pale ale malt, American Crystal 60L and Victory malt rounds out the grain bill. Mash temperatures in the range of 152°F to 154°F create a wort with a nice balance of fermentable and non-fermentable sugars. Magnum hops adds a balanced bitterness, Sorachi Ace hops adds a uniquely lemony aroma, and homegrown Cascade hops add grapefruit flavor during the finish and again in a whirlpool. Yeast: White Labs WLP001(California Ale) Purepitch Lot #1021675 11/23/2015 QC cell count: 1.49 billion cells/ml slurry.
* Way of Saint James is the 3rd of 12 brews in the Twelve Apostles beer line. Each of the 12 brews are an American Amber Ale. Experimentation with water profile, temperature variations including ambient temp., grain bill, hops varieties and yeast strains provide endless opportunity to learn and improve this beer over the year.
* Cascade hops Alpha Acid was age adjusted in this recipe since the details of storage and pick date are a known variable.
* Bitterness to starting gravity ratio (IBU [33.7] divided by OG [54]) = .62 [0.5 to 0.7 for a balanced amber].
* Actual Final Gravity (w/h calibrated precision hydrometer)
Batch #12A-4A

Notes: Either gather 1.75 gallons of water, run it through the brita, or buy it. Tap water should be ok, but if you use tap, let it sit out over night so that it off-gasses the chlorine.

Also have on hand:
-1 cup cold water
-1 cup Hot water (boil before heating the strike water - the mash water)
-2 big bags of ice.
-Starsan or Iodophor sanitiser, properly diluted as per instructions.

Add some sanitizer to a small bucket as well as your fermentation vessel/jug.

Take your smack pack of yeast out of the fridge and, following the instructions, smack it good and hard. Put it aside to do it's thing while you brew.

Mash water needed: .75 gallons
Sparge/wash water needed: 1.5 gallons

Bring the .75 gallons up to 165 degrees.
Mash in (add the grains) and mix REALLY well.
Check temp and adjust with hot or cold water as required. A half a cup of either will be good to raise the temp a couple degrees, so add at like .5 cup at a time, mix, and check temp. You really just want to be within +/- 2 degrees of the prescribed temp, don't worry.

Let that sit for 1 hour. Check temps every so often and turn the burner on as required to keep the mash at temp. Be sure to stir when heating to make sure you don't char any of the grains.

While it is mashing, at around the 40 minute mark, start to heat up the additional 1 gallons of "sparge" water to like 190 or so.

Place your strainer on the other pot and slowly pour the mash into it to collect the grains. Do this twice or three times, pouring the wort over the grains. Here you are trying to limit the amount of grain material that is in the wort. You want it to be relatively free of "stuff".

Don't forget to grab a couple ounces, add some whiskey, and have yourself a hot scotchy!

Alternatively, you could research "BIAB" or Boil in a Bag. This will help tremendously with controlling your grains. Seriously, check it out.

Slowwwwly pour your sparge water over the grains in the strainer to collect your final volume. You should collect about 1.5 gallons of wort.

Boil that biatch. Don't use a lid. BE CAREFUL of boil over, at least at first, make sure you watch it for the rising bubbles. When you see it, just take the pot off that burner and stir a bit. Reduce the heat slightly, then put the pot back on the burner. Once you get a nice steady boil without rising bubbles, you are good to go and you can start your 60 minute timer.

Add the hops as indicated.
Bear in mind: 30 minutes indicates 30 minutes REMAINING in the boil. Same goes for 5 minutes or zero minutes. This one's easy because it's all at either 30 or 0. I just want to be clear that 0 means at the end, as you are turning off the burner, add the hops and give them a stir.

After the boil, fill the sink with cold water, place the pot in the cold water, and add the ice. Try not to get any of the ice or water in the wort as it cools.

EVERYTHING FROM THIS POINT ON MUST BE SANITIZED.

Using your sanitized thermometer, check the temperature of the wort until it drops to around 70 F.

Add the wort to the sanitized jug, top up with cold bottled water if required, and shake like the devil himself. Careful not to spill, and be sure that your hand is sanitized. Don't exceed the 1 gallon mark.

Cut the top off of the yeast pack, pitch the yeast, and add the stopper and properly prepared blow off tube.

Place in a cool area for your two week fermentation then bottle as usual. I would suggest adding 1.5 tablespoons of granulated sugar to like half a cup of water, bring to a boil for like 5 minutes to make sure it's fully mixed. Let it cool for a bit, then add to the sanitized pot you'll be using for bottling as you are racking your beer from the fermenter into the pot.
Bottle as usual.

Notes:
If you need to substitute the yeast. You can use Safale S-04. But try to get the Scottish Ale Yeast, it gives a great malt character to the beer.

If you need to, you can substitute the grains for similar ones. The brew shops should be able to help you with proper substitutions.

When you drink a beer, try to wash the bottle right after. Better yet, pour the beer into a nice glass, and wash the bottle immediately. This will make storage easier and will help ensure no nasty things grow and potentially ruin your beer in the bottles.

Raspberries and Vanilla added 2nd week into fermentation (in primary fermenter)

First taste 27/10 - love how this is coming along. Subtle smokiness. Raspberries & Vanilla present but should settle in nicely after further conditioning, but very drinkable as is.

Notes: Speziell: Nach einmaischen und läutern (vor Hopfenkochen) zuerst 1h einkochen lassen (gleiche Temp. wie nachher Hopfenkochen), damit noch ein bisschen Wasser verloren geht. Dann normal weiter mit Bitterhoopfen einkochen.

Notes: Hops schedule: Combined the three American hops and slowly and continuously hopped the boil from 30 mins on, saved 1oz of mixture for dry hop at day 7.

Could have been hoppier for sure, more dry hops and more aroma hops
