Notes: First beer made using our newly-put-together HERMS system, the first major update we've made to our brewing equipment since starting in late 2013. For this one, we're doing a strong English style ale aged for (probably) 6 weeks in our Damnation Alley bourbon barrel.

3/15/15: Brew day for this one. Things are going somewhat strangely (lots of spilling water and some wort loss, but overall we've corrected everything well all things considered) given our lack of experience with the new system, and we don't have our PID controller to electronically control the temperatures, so we have been having to manually track temperatures and fire the burners on the stove at discretionary times to keep things going smoothly. The recirculation part is working very well so far. -AP

3-21-15: switched from blow-off assembly to airlock. Has been sitting at 70 degrees for one week, krausen has already died down. I don't think it's a stall -- just not a very aggressive ferm. Took a whiff of the carboy and everything smelled good; solid nose of english hops and maris otter (no shit, eh?). Looking forward to racking this into barrel next weekend. -PG

3/27/15: Just transferred to bourbon barrel. Hydrometer reading was a bit higher on FG than we wanted (only reached about 72% attenuation, finishing at 1.025 instead of the expected 1.022). Not really gonna complain because it still comes out almost 9.5%. The sample before conditioning and aging tasted really good, but pretty mild. Very genuine "British" style strong ale flavor; subtle caramel/toffee with some slight fruity esters; rather dry though it leads off sweet. No heat from the rather high alcohol either, which was nice. Extended barrel-aging (six weeks at minimum for this one) should make this one awesome. -AP

5/10/15: Just took this from barrel to bottles last night. Conditioning with a slurry of the same a yeast used for primary (WLP007). Tasted really good from the small sample we pulled from the barrel; slightly fruity, very woody and bourbon forward with a long, dry yet full-bodied finish. Excited to see how it conditions in several weeks.

5/29/15: Tasting from a bottle that was opened 5/27 and re-sealed with about half of the beer remaining. It's been in bottles about 3 weeks at this point and it actually has, according to Pat, already carbonated pretty decently. The several ounces I pulled were slightly oxidized because the bottle had been re-sealed, however. Scent is hefty English toffee, light stone fruit (cherry/plum in particular) and bourbon. The spirit character is nicely noticeable, likely due to the six weeks of aging the beer underwent in our Damnation Alley barrel. Flavor is pretty incredible actually; I'm getting a lot of tannic notes from the barrel, slight tart cherry, bourbon, caramel and the aforementioned toffee all in a really complex yet approachable package. Very excited with how this one continues to develop. It's pretty perfect right now; almost exactly what I feel like we wanted to get out of it. Very cool. -AP

Notes: Any pale malt will work. I used pilsner because that's what I had.

Do not boil. Strain, and cool to 120 degrees.
Put 2 to 3 ounces of whole pale malt in a gallon jug and transfer the wort over it. Top up all the way with boiled (deoxygenated) water and cover with plastic wrap and a rubber band. Don't leave more than 1/2 inch of headspace. Hold at 118 degrees for at least 3 days to sour, then it can be stored at room temperature.

Use to acidify the mash of future beers (it should be about 2% lactic acid) and top the jug back up with fresh unhopped wort to keep it going.

Notes: For version 3--Add 4 bags raspberries (pureed) to primary after the end of fermentation for 4 days. Remove. Crash then add 4 bags (pureed) to primary post crash for 3 days. Rack to secondary w/ clarifier. Let sit for 2 days before kegging.

For version #2--Add 2.25# of raspberries toward the end of primary--remove after 4 days (some of the berries seemed still intact, so I put the second addition into the food processor while frozen and coursely processed them). Then add #2.25 for 4 days before racking to secondary. Also added 1# rolled oats to mash to try and add body. Don't want to add dextrin. Pretty sure Rubeaus uses dextrin malt, but it gives me gas.

Spring 19 version: Puree Rasp. Cold Crash after 10 days. Once crashed, add all Raspberries to primary in the cooler. Steep for 4 days,

For version #1 I added 12oz each of raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries at the end of primary, then added 2.25# of raspberries after primary for 3 days.

Notes: Started mash at about 68C, wrapped the pot in a towel and let it sit until about 60 mins. Dropped to about 62C, so I added a bit of heat and let it sit another 15 mins.

I read about Belgian IPAs being mashed at lower temps so I thought this strategy was ok. We'll see...

EDIT: I modified the mash temp to 66C in the recipe after the fact and it skewed the calculation towards 8.4% ABV, while originally I had entered 67C and it said 8.3%, the true ABV of Raging Bitch :/

Taste test before bottling is a bit spicy, but good.
