Notes: Ferment with second pitch of belgian ale yeast (slurry from heretic wort giveaway) and also pitch dregs of sanctification. Transfer to secondary and pitch sanctification, consecration, and supplication dregs again and age for 6-9 months before deciding which fruit to use. Zymurgy article says apricot but will likely use cherry too and split batch.
Brewed 11/29
Made 1700ml starter on 11/28 at 5pm using 83g of Belgian Yeast from Heretic brew that was collected on 11/1 in mason jar. 83g is a little over 300 billion cells. Will pitch two bottle dregs of sanctification with primary pitch as well.
Mashed at 160F for 30 minutes. Sparged once and collected 8 gallon of beer. Brought to boil then added .3oz of 7.5AA challenger hops. When adding hops I accidentally dropped in two enclosed AAA batteries that were covered in plastic. What an idiot! Needed to transfer boiling wort to another vessel in order to fish the batteries out of the bottom. The plastic casing around the batteries was still fine, I think everything is okay. Lost about .5 gallons in transfer process, took 10 minutes to bring back to boil. Boil for 60 minutes
Racked to secondary on 12/18/15 and pitched dregs of Consecration. SG was 1.013. Pitched #20 brew onto this yeast cake. Will secondary at 65F while #20 primaries |

Notes: It's brown, it's named after a large North American ungulate, and its name suggests oral incontinence. Ah, we market product with our minds, but we drink beer with our mouths! Which is why this American brown ale is your new favorite session beer. Dense layers of malt, caramel, baking chocolate, and a hint of light-roast coffee give way to reveal a hop character you'll be surprised to find if you're used to drinking English brown ale. The finish is complex but balanced, and the gravity is not so high as to keep you from having another. |

Notes: Steep Caramunich II and Spec B grain for 20-30 mins with 3 litres of hot tap water (not boiling).
Strain liquid into a large saucepan. Rinse grain with another 1 Litre of hot tap water into the saucepan, and discard grain.
Add another 2.5 litres of water and 1.5 kg liquid light malt to the saucepan, and bring to the boil whilst stirring.
Add 30g Styrian Goldings hops.
At the end of the 60 minutes, turn off the heat.
Add the rest of the malts, candy sugar and ½tsp nutrient (but not the Dextrose), and stir to dissolve.
Use chiller to bring down temp. to 22°C.
Pour the contents of the saucepan into the fermenter, and top up with water to 20 litres.
Stir vigorously to aerate.
Add yeast and ferment as close as possible to 20°C
On Day 4 of fermentation, add 500g Dextrose to the fermenter, and continue fermentation. Bottle or keg when gravity is consistent over two days. |

Même grain bill, différents houblons. Un peu moins d'amerisant a 60 minutes. La balance a 10 minutes. J'ai conservé les mêmes quantités pour les dry hop, au besoin on ajustera après le premier dry hop si c'est déjà ultra fruité.

Notes: Brewed 11/24/13. Hit about 150F on the strike. I clogged the false bottom on accident so I had to dump it into the boil kettle and then dump it back into the mash. I then had to top off about a half gallon to get it up to about 150F. pH was 5.2 which is a bit lower than the predicted one. Used the pump for the first time to recirculate and to pump sparge. Prolly have to adjust the pump hose length on the sparge one. Boil kettle efficiency is at 79%. Boil was very vigorous and I think that it boiled off a lot. Also, the large amount of whole hops absorbed a lot of wort. I got 5.25 gal of wort and topped off with a half gallon of water. Made the efficiency suffer. I also mashed a bit lower than I expected. Chilled down to about 68F. Might add some corn sugar to kick up the gravity a bit. 11/25/13 added half pound of corn sugar just to kick the gravity up a bit. Temp was about 60/62F in the morning. Evening time it had risen up to about 65F so I cooled it down again with a couple of ice packs. 11/26/2013 temp has risen to 67F so I cooled it down to about 64F. By night it had drifted back up to 67F so I cooled it down to 65F. 12/16/13 took a gravity reading which puts the brew at 1.014. Dry hopped 12/18/2013. Racked into a keg 12/30/2013. Used 2 tbs of biofine but is still seemed a bit cloudy. There was also some pellet dry hops that made it into the keg. Tasted on 1/2/2014 and it's pretty good. Has somewhat of a harsh bitterness and is a little tannic but that might mellow. It's also a bit less hop forward than I was expecting. Still tasty though. This brew took 3rd place in IPA at the BAM World Cup of Beer 2014. |
