Notes: Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix immediately after pitching yeast.
Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix 24 hours after fermentation begins.
Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix 48 hours after fermentation begins.
Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix after 30% of the sugar has been depleted.

Special Instructions / Notes:
Berries were frozen and then mostly thawed. I squished the bags of fruit to break them up a bit and used a large mouth funnel to get them into the carboy.

I did not heat the honey at all, just dumped right into carboy. I heated up some of the water I was using for top off and used that warm water to rinse the honey out of the jars and into the carboy. Used a paint stir bar on a drill to mix honey and water (and oxygenate). Added berries and gave a gentle stir to mix everything

Fermented at 68 degrees for three to four weeks with staggered nutrient additions

Cap management is important for releasing toxic CO2 and preventing temperature buildup below the cap. I swirled the carboy once in the morning and once in the evening for about 5 days to mix the fruit cap back down and release CO2

You will lose a lot of mead to the berries. I chilled the carboy down, racked to a secondary off the berries, chilled that carboy down, let set for a week or so, then kegged. This mead can plug a keg line easily if you're not careful.

Can taste a bit like children's cough syrup early on but eventually smoothes out, I haven't been able to keep any longer than a year before drinking it all.

recipe: Snark Lord kit from Great Fermentations. This version is a modification of the GF kit based on my side by side comparison of 8 month keg aged GF kit and Dark Lord 2017
----------------------
Starter
WLP001 and WLP002: separate 1.5L starters 30 hrs before anticipated yeast pitch

Water chemistry / mash notes:
1/2 total minerals added to each strike. 2.5 mL LA into strike water mash #1 and ??2.0 mL??? LA for mash #2.
Acidify each 1.5 gal sparge with 0.1 mL lactic acid 88%.
Reiterated mash with split pale malts at 157F (pale, munich, flaked oats, flaked barley). Mash cap with 1/2 dark/roast malts after each mash.
Pale/flaked = 24.0 lbs
Roast/dark = 5.5 lbs
Sugars = 2.0 jaggery
Total = 31.5 lbs
Mash #1 = 2.5 mL of LA. 12.0 lbs pale/flaked into 5.9 gallons x 60-90 min. Mash cap with 2.5 lbs dark/roast malts x 20-30 min. After mash, sparge with ~1.5 gal to achieve a volume of 6.0 gal for 2nd mash.
Mash #2 = Measure pH! Adjust with LA or baking soda to pH of 5.4. 12.0 lbs pale/flaked into 6.0 gallons. Mash for 60-90 min or until SG stabilizes. Mash cap with remaining 3.0 lbs dark/roast/crystal malts for 20-30 min. Sparge with ~1.8 gal to hit 6.5 gal pre-boil volume

Boil notes:
Jaggery at 20 minutes left in boil
Add 1 oz coarsely ground coffee beans, cocao nibs, and 2 cut/scraped vanilla beans in bag at 5 min from end of boil, steep for 5 minutes after flame out, then remove.

Fermentation:
Make 1.5 L starters for each yeast 30 hrs in advance.
Brew day morning - chill in fridge, decant wort to 500 mL each
Chill to 65F, pitch yeast slurry x 2
Ferment at 66F x 7-10 days (favors WLP002) then raise to 70F over 3 days (favors WLP001), complete fermentation an additional 5-7 days at 70F (favors WLP001 for attenuation).

Once at FG, cold crash x 24 hours.

Dry beaning:
After fermentation complete and yeast crashed, add 2 oz Sumatra whole beans beans (in bag) to primary for 12-48 hours (taste every 12 hrs). Remove coffee and cold crash x 48 hrs.

Clarification:
After coffee removed from primary and cold crashed x 48 hours, add gelatin followed by additional 48 hrs chilling.

Packaging/clarification part 2:
Make tincture of 1 vanilla bean 5-7 days in advance
Once kegged, add 5 mL Biofine clear through gas port and vanilla bean tincture through lid opening. Quickly seal and CO2 purge headspace.
Seal and keg condition x 6 months before sampling

Notes: theyre saying to do a large starter for my american pils i have planned. like a gallon starter. with all that wort to drain off, might as well hop that shit and bottle it up....amirite?

using amarillo and ekg instead of opening a new saaz pack.

what temp to ferment at? care most about yeast propagation but also want it to be drinkable....i have 11 days so if i ferment lower it might be done in time. but also where would i do this, is the garage appropriate temperature?

Notes: Roast oats in oven for @ 300F for 15 min before mash.

Cover cacao nibs in water, soak at 160F for 15 min before adding to secondary.

This is a double bath recipe, split into two carboys. Had to use a thicker mash based on constraints of the size of my mash tun.

Made two starters.

Carboy #1, in secondary: 4 oz cacao + 5 lbs frozen tart cherries
Carboy #2, in secondary: 4 oz cacao; 16 oz cold brewed coffee at kegging

Based on BYO style guide, but additions at secondary are my own.
