Notes: I created a culture of bugs from the dregs of bottles of Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca, Jolly Pumpkin La Roja, and Lindemans Framboise Lambic prior to racking by a solution of 2 cups water to one half cup DME. The scent was acidic with a small pellicle growing atop.
The day prior, I boiled peaches, then pureed them using my ninja blender. I then placed them in the refrigerator in sanitized jars.
Rack onto peaches and toasted french oak chips as you approach FG. Add your yeast culture. Swirl carboy contents and let sit for 6 months.
**UPDATE - 8/ 15 /15 Tasted Approximately 2 months after adding peaches. The peach flavor is null, however, the sour is present. Next time I will use apricot as I hear it is better used for that stone fruit flavor. At this point in time, the beer is very well balanced and tasty with mild sourness. I hope the sour will grow. Beer is a nice orangey / brown color.
11/23/15 - Bottled. FG of 1.004. Damn, this is amazing. I believe this beer is about 7%abv |

Notes: Double batch was brewed on 12-31-16.
Boil kettle #1 - 10 gal Mega Pot
Boil kettle #2 - 7 gal stainless steel pot
Additional water was added to the pre-boil pot to compensate for losses in evaporation and absorption. We were shooting for roughly a 6-8% loss in water volume during the boil process.
The cascade hops were added at the 55 minute mark or 5 min boil time instead of 10 min. We wanted to retain more of the hop essential oils and aromas in the wort.
The beer had quite a bit of sediment/trub in the pot as we experienced a few clogged hoses and a clogged pickup tube during the racking process from the boil kettle to the fermenter. Most of the sludge was due to hop material that had absorbed liquid wort. Next time it would be worth the effort to contain the hops in a cheesecloth bag or some type of strainer vessel.
10 gal brew pot #1 had additional water added after the boil to bring up the volume to roughly 5 gal. Not sure why there was a significant difference between pot #1 and pot #2 with regard to water losses during the boil. Perhaps pot #1 had a more vigorous boil.
Post-boil gravity was 1.075 in a 70 degree room.
Racked beer to keg on 1-22-17. Initial tasting was excellent. |

Notes: First go at this. Trying to make a classic Witbier with a small twist. I don't like brewing clones much. I figure if someone wants a Hoegaarden they will go buy one. I want to give someone a similar taste, but something a little different. Brewed on 4/6/13. I will ferment this in the primary until the beer clears wait an additional week then bottle. Bottle age at 65 degrees for 3 weeks then enjoy. Tasting notes to follow. |
