Notes: Collected 24L wort. Last runnings were 8 Brix. Pre-boil wort was 14.2 Brix. Forgot Dextose! May have shocked some of the yeast by pouring some beer into hot dextrose. Ended up missing 1075 target by diluting to 1072.
Finished dry in the end, down to 1010 after 2 weeks.
Caustic bitterness. Needs balancing with some crystal and total hopping rates reined in. Came through very American, with the dry hop lost a bit. Perhaps go steadier on the hop stand. I think the utilisation must have been higher than 10% |

Notes: Made starter the usual way - 1# DME 4300ml filtered water. Cooled to 75 and pitched. Activity slight but apparent - fermented for 1.5 days then into fridge at 50° for 2 days.
Started w/ 36 qts. of water so that we could get all the grain in. Strike temp 159 and we ended a hair high so we fit in 2 more qts. of water - Good System for big batches!!
30 min at 148, tasted Very Sweet. 15 minutes to stir and raise to 158 - held for 20 min. Stirred and raised to 168 over 20 minutes, held for 10 min.
Started sparge - first runnings were 1.078. Sparge water at 175-180. Had to tilt mash at the end to get everything out and that was a good idea - do that sooner! Ended sparge in the high teens gravity wise. Preboil gravity 1.070! Double checked - yup. Boiled off a ton - OG at 82 so we added 3.5 qt. to make it about 1.076.
Day was 105 outside so we could only get the wort down to 85 and into the fridge. Cooled to 50 over the course of 36 hours and pitched the yeast then. Good clean start and then we went on tour! Didn't take it out for 36 days!! Although the FG seems high it doesn't seem overly sweet to us, at least not now.
Carbonated it the next day when cold and am letting it sit hopefully until Nov. 1 - we'll see...
Made it!!! Tapped on Nov. 2 - clear from the first beer!! Can't remember when that's happened. On the sweet side of dopplebock but Very Good. Everyone seems to like it, including me! Lasted a long time and was clear, sweet and delicious to the end! Slightly better attenuation would be nice, but not mandatory. |

Notes: Made a starter the NEW way. 4500ml of filtered water with 1# DME and it made a good amount of yeast. Totally foamed over though.
Had to take a quart or so of liquid out of the mash tun to fit all the grain! Rests as noted but also mashed out at 168 for 10 minutes
Sparged well. First Runnings were 1.080 final were 1.026. Preboil gravity 1.071. Used about 7g. sparge water this time.
Boiled 75 minutes w/ hop additions as shown, but also 1 ounce of Galaxy in the whirlpool with the others. Chilled the normal way to 71° and pitched immediately.
Dry hopped with 1 Cascade .5 Amarillo .5 Galaxy. I dryhopped all that at once for 4 days. Mark did half that mixture for 4 days each. His was much more dryhopped tasting!
Original gravity was around 1.078. Huge activity 12 hours later. Fermented out to about in around days - cold crashed for another and then kegged with dry hops. Purged w/CO2 and bubbled up once it was sealed to 30#.
Big flavor, nice caramel notes, good level of bitterness for size of beer, good hop flavor and aroma, especially in Mark's. Just a hint of higher alchohols, warming but not obtrusive. It's a win!
Paul is worrying a month after tapping that it is starting to go the way of the infected ESB...more soon...nah...too much worrying. Still drinking this 3 months after brewing and it's fine - all good!
And still after 5 months!! And now it is just nectar. Full stop. No infection, no degradation, just aged strong IPA - bright clear orange color. Brew this again! Maybe a tad less bitter for me, and with Mark's dry-hopping (2 stage) schedule. |

Notes: Kvas is an ancient refreshing bubbly drink, usually classified as "non-alcoholic".
It fits very well to any uncomfortably hot working environment - in the field, in the bakery, in the metallurgical factory.
Yeast:
Any yeast will fit. I used US-05 just because I have some leftovers. If no yeast is available - fresh bio grape will do the job. Grapes have some yeast on the skin. If no grape is available, 200g of yeast-free rye bread will be needed. In this case, natural rye yeast will come to play, it's like "lactobacillae", but acts slower, thus, more controllable.
Dosage:
Children - zero, however, some parents do increase dosage to up to 1L/day, if children are really helping out in the field or in the garden.
Adults - 10L/day. Some bakeries provide up to 5L/day, and set mandatory consumption to 1L/day.
Variations:
It's allowed to spoil the wort with any "lactobacillale". It will become even tastier, however, the better taste will last only 1-2 days, then you'll drain the vinegar to the sink. Children like that "acidy" type of kvas better than pure alcoholic one.
If you don't have access to Chocolate Rye malt, feel free to pick any rye malt, and bake it at 130C for 20-40 minutes. If no malt is available - please, use the rye flour.
Carbonization:
Carbonization is natural. That's why there is 100g sugar per 10L of drink. Feel free to replace it with 120g Honey, and you'll get "Honey Kvas".
Simplifications:
In some countries, Rye/Barley extract is available for the sale.
Bottling:
Please, avoid bottling. I ferment it in the bucket, and then we drink it straight from there. I pitch at 25C, and when primary fermentation is over, I add the sugar and put the bucket in the fridge. Next day the drink is cooled down to 10C and has some bubbles. That's sufficient. |
