Notes

Yeast Starter

  • Prepare Shaken Not Stirred Starter starter the night before brewing.
  • Use 1 quart of pre-canned wort & top up with RO water to one 1 liter in a 1 gallon jar.
  • Aerate by shaking like it owes me money to the point of being mostly foam (or aerate with pure oxygen), then add yeast and gently shake a little more to mix in the yeast.
  • Place in fermenter set to fermentation temperature of 64 degrees.

    Mash

    Don't mash the dark grains -- add during vorlauf
    Hold-off on adding salts/acid until after ferulic acid rest

    Boil

  • Boil timer settings: nE = 2, t1=75, t2=10
  • Stir a whirlpool after the boil to encourage piling of hops/trub in center of kettle.
  • Before filling fermenter, fill two quart jars and one pint jar with wort for canning as gyle/speise for carbonating the beer.

    Fermentation

  • Pitch entire volume of starter.
  • Use an OPEN FERMENT to maximize esters.
    -LOOSELY cover the fermenter to reduce possibility of spoiling organisms from falling in.
  • Use dangling heating strap with temp probe (and insulation) attached to side of fermenter away from sidewall and heater strap
  • Add airlock on 4th day.

    STC-1000 settings:
    sp0=66, dh0=168
    sp1=68, dh1=168
    sp2=70, dh2=0

    PACKAGING

  • Tare weight of empty keg.
  • Put canned gyle/speise into serving keg (to carbonate beer).
  • Calculate keg weight that represents 5 gallons of beer (including gyle) and fill to that weight.

  • Target 3.0 volumes of CO2.
  • Attach BlowTie 2 spunding valve and set to 38 psi (ensure 0-60 psi gauge is installed).
  • Hold beer temp at 72 degrees while naturally carbonating (two weeks).
  • Remove spunding valve and put keg in keezer at 42 degrees with regulator set to 19 psi (3.0 volumes of CO2).
