Notes: In a large soup pot, heat 3.0 quarts (2.8 L) of water to 161 °F (72 °C). Add crushed grains to grain bag. Submerge bag and let grains steep around 150 °F (66 °C) for 45 minutes. While grains steep, begin heating 2.4 gallons (9.1 L) of water in your brewpot. When steep is over, remove 0.83 qts. (0.78 L) of water from brewpot and add to the "grain tea" in steeping pot. Place colander over brewpot and place steeping bag in it. Pour grain tea (with water added) through grain bag. Heat liquid in brewpot to a boil, then stir in dried malt extract, add first charge of hops and begin the 60 minutes boil. With 15 minutes left in boil, add hops and Irish moss, then turn off heat. At the end of the boil, add last charge of hops, cool wort and transfer to fermenter. |

Notes: Add the 4 oz total of fruity hops about 3-4 days into primary Ferm.
To assure this does not suffer from an hop identity crisis, bump up the mosaic and chinook in dry hopping. It worked well. |

Adding 2 packs of yeast to ensure healthy fermentation, not doing starter (didnt have time...). Start fermentation at 68F then quickly let it ferment out at 72-75F inside. Can substitute yeast for Wyeast 3787 trappist high gravity.
Once fermented, putting into red wine barrel for a few weeks to age and pull some wine character, then putting back into carboy and dry hopping for 5 days.
Bottling after that for a few weeks |

Notes: Covid Vaccines are being distributed. We've have been cooped up too long --this is going to be a nice welcome to spring beer or Busting out!!
I tweaked the Covid Busting Out II recipe by adjusting brewing water and its effect on the mash pH.
See John Palmers water analysis app, book and courses through BYO mag. Good stuff. |
