2 mins of O2 in wort prior to pitching

The oak is optional but I think it enhances the vanilla beans.

Add oak/vanilla beans to secondary 7-14 days.

The amount of bourbon used is up to you. Start off at 1 cup and work your way up. 1.75 cups is the sweet spot for me.

The bourbon doesn't have to be Evan Williams. Use what you like.

Notes: Brewed 12/17/16. Strike water was 169F and hit right at about 152/153. Only recirculated a half gallon because of this. Sparge went well and nothing stuck was able to get full volume without cutting as it didn't fall below 2 brix, got close though. Kettle efficiency was 82% which is a little lower than expected. Hit everything on the nose including the gravity. Temp cooling went faster due to low OG I believe but still need to look into a different temp cooling method to quicken things up. Pitching temp stabilized at 63F. 12/18 temp was about 62F so I cooled to 61F. 12/19 and 12/20 temp was sitting at about 62F the whole day. 12/21 I put a heater into the beer and kicket it up to 68F. Out of the swamp bath on 12/26/16. 1/5/17 I transferred the beer into the keg and added the flavor grapefruit compound from Amoretti. Attenuation was a little lower than expected but that is ok, looking for something sweeter anyways. I went with 4oz of the compound. Directions said 1/2 - 1% concentration and 4oz was about 1/2%. Bottled on 1/9/16 and carbed to about 2.9 volumes. Won an award in the BAM World Cup of Beer

Notes: Although won bronze, has room for improvement. Will consider using fuggle hops for bittering next time. Also, need to increase body and maltiness (consider adding carapils to next grain bill).

Notes: lactobacillus starter:before brewday make a 2 liter starter, cool to 120 F and place in a glass demijohn. add the unmilled malt's to this starter and hold temp as close to 120 as possible for 2-5 day's.test Ph daily until it reach's 3.5. don't let it go lower, brew your main mash on that day. after pulling the grain bag decant the lactobacillus starter into the wort and and let set in a carboy filled to the top. place airlock on and let sit for an additional 2-5 day's. when the Ph of the wort reaches 3.5 proceed with brewday.boil for 15 minutes, add hop's at start of boil. chill wort to pitching temp for yeast and ferment at optimum temp's for yeast.

Notes: Robust Flanders Red Ale
Hops aged for 1 year at room temperature, second addition wild hops (from Poland)
Got 42L of d = 1.076, right to the point
Corn pregelatinized but not extensively
Mash: 63 20', heating up to 73 20', 40 min at 73, 5 min to the end of this rest Carafa was added, within 10 min it reached 78C

Started fermenting at 14C (yeast cake from previous beer), went up to 19C.

Mash very thick to leave some starches even at the cost of efficiency

after 10 days d = 1.011. Split into two - one secondary and second with bugs. 02.05.2016
secondary: 3-4 months, 20-23C. After 42 days (14.06.2016) add oak cubes 1x1x1cm, middle-toasted, 50g.

Notes: 2/2025 Batch 6 - 6 lbs frozen puree var Zara. 10 bags of hibiscus tea (Republic of Tea Hibiscus Superflower Tea in 2 cups boiling water).

11/2023 - Batch 4: Last time the amount of fruit was 4.5 lb in about 5 gallons, frozen, pureed with lots of pectinase added. Adding pectinase to the ingredients. Used about 1/3 of the bottle from BSG (28g total) or about 9-10 grams.

The first two batches, I tried to put in 10 lb, but it was a struggle to fit and made it quite difficult to work with. 5 lb or 1 lb/gallon seemed to work, but the berries I'm using are very flavorful. Regular store-bought ones would likely need more lbs/gallon or boosting with extract.
added pectinase, 1 oz/28g Barbe Rouge, and 5 lb strawberry puree (frozen + food processor) on day 5. Delay due to illness. I think 2 days would have been perfectly post-krausen.

3/2023
Sticking with Barbe Rouge. Newest batch is smaller, putting 5 lbs/5 gallons. This was possibly the best batch I've made.

Substituting lots of things to try out a new yeast (sundew) and hops (HBC 630). Tried Zamba as dry hop and worked. Shifting to Barbe Rouge to accent red fruit.

Added hibiscus tea to attempt 2 (Zamba) to give a more acidic note and also a little bit more color. Turned out very nicely.

Original Authors notes:
This has been my go to ale recipe for years. It is light, flavorful, and loved by everyone who pulls a pint. You could dry it out a bit by adding a pound of suar or maze in the boil, but it stands well on its own.I brew it at least once a month. I never shared it until now as a friend of mine entered it into a local comp and won 1st overall.
Add a little gypsum to get mash ph to 5.5

let it ferment for 14 days and keg to 3vol.

Notes: Mash at 149 for 60 minutes. After 60 min. Raise temp to 168 for mash out. Sparge with 2.8 gallons of 170 degree water. Top up with water (if neeeded) to reach 6 gallons of 1.049 wort.
Boil for 60 minutes adding hops as noted.

NOTE: recipe calls for Cascade with AA of 8.2 - you may need to adjust your amounts to reach the desired AAU!
4.1 AAU @ 60 min
6.2 AAU @ 45 min
simply .5 oz of hops at 0 min.... (up it to .75 if you are using hops with less than 8.2 AA)
Just 1 oz of dry hop no matter the AA.

Cool wort to 65ish and pitch yeast and ferment at 67 for 4 days. On day 4 add dry hops and let rest for another 3 days.
Once final gravity is reached (approximately 7 days total) bottle or keg and carbonated.

Notes: every now and again I get down to the last part of all my bags of grain, this is a combined recipe of all of those ends, not sure how it will end up but I'm confident it will be good, always is

This couldn't have turned out better, with the ten day fermentation and 4 day cold crash and an inch of yeast in the secondary, this turned out very clear, has a very slight bitter taste at first and a Simcoe flavor and smell to it, if you ask me this was free since it was all the ends of bags, good pale ale

p.s. this yeast takes 2 to 3 days to start working then it explodes with a huge kroesen be patient and make sure you have room
