| Notes: A good starting point is to keep keep the malt bill simple, mostly 2-row, with some light caramel malts and a little carapils. Putting hops into the mash is a must (mash-hopping). And the dry hop must contain copious amounts of Simcoe and Amarillo. Keep me updated! |

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: Adding Whisky Barrel Chips
Whisky Barrel Chips must be sanitized by boiling in 1 cup of water for 5 minutes. After your chips have been sanitized, add to them to sanitized jar with bourbon and vanilla bean while beer is in primary. Before adding to secondary, remove liquid bourbon adding just the chips and bean to secondary. You may add fresh bourbon to secondary for flavor. Firmly secure your airlock on to your fermenter. Leave your beer in contact with these chips for 2 to 3 weeks. On bottling day carefully siphon your beer away from the chips and into your bottling bucket. If you do not use a secondary fermenter, then add the chips to your primary after fermentation has completed and leave for the recommended contact time. |

Notes: The Home Brewer's Recipe Database, 3rd edition
Thomas Hardy's Ale: OG: 1.125. Malt: 100% Pipkin Pale Malt. Hops: Challenger, Northdown. Late Hops: Challenger, Goldings. Dry Hops: Challenger, Goldings. IBU: 50-70. Source RP5. Malt: Pipkin pale malt, Lager malt. Hops: Goldings. Source JE1/2
Notes: Formed from a management buy-out of the Eldridge Pope brewery. See Eldridge Pope and O'Hanlon's.
I mash high (155'F) as the original Thomas Hardy ale was 1.123-1.125 and 12% yet WLP099 attenuates high, this should leave some unfermentable sugars, maximize body, and keep the ABV closer to 12%.
Pre-boil gravity should be 1.062-1.063 for 6-gallon volume, final volume of 3 gallons. (estimate 4 hour boil time & 12% evaporation rate) |

Notes: Brewed on 11/10/2013. OG was right on the money.
Update 11/14/13 - fermentation had already started the morning after brew day (which is typical for me) and as of last night it's slowed down quite a bit - all of my ales usually ferment out fairly quickly (I rarely have one still active on the 4th day). So now it'll sit for at least another 10 days to 2 weeks before it goes to keg (I don't ever rack to a secondary any more - gave that up years ago).
Update 11/29/13 - I usually keg my beers and let them carbonate naturally over a week or so, but with all the rain and then the preparations for the holidays I ran out of time and had to keg and force carb this batch just in time for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, so it was just a tad cloudy (FG 1.015). It tastes like Full Sail but I don't have any on hand to compare, but it's delicious - I'll be brewing this one again, for sure!
Update 12/10/13 - the beer has cleared and the hops have mellowed a bit. This beer tastes fantastic! I'm trying to limit myself to just one whenever I go to the tap so that the 1st keg lasts through Christmas - I'm taking the 2nd one to a New Year's Eve party where I know it'll be a big hit!
If you're a fan of Full Sail Amber Ale, you will like this recipe. This is one terrific Amber Ale!
