Notes: Brewed on 9/1/2013. Strike water was 174 and hit right about 155F. Left for 10min and then recirculated about a gallon through to distribute evenly with preheated pyrex glass. The temp dropped it down to about 152F so I topped off with half gallon of boiling water which brought it to 153F. Stopped there because I didn't want to thin out the mash even more. I will have to figure out a way to prevent heat loss when recirculating. pH was 5.3 with the slightly thinned mash. Boil Kettle efficiency was 80%. Brew house efficiency was down this time. I am not sure why that would be but maybe it's because I had some wort left over in the kettle and thus didn't boil off enough. I did get my full wort volume without having to top off. I wonder if I should boil 8.25 gal in the future? Some hose water also got into the brew because I wasn't paying attention well enough to my hose attachments. Yeast took off within 8 hours. I looked at it and krausen has formed about 8 hours after. Temp was about 73F so I cooled it down to 68 as quickly as I could. It was about the same temp in the morning. I dropped some of the ice blocks in there in the middle of the night. At about mid afternoon on 9/2 it was at 66F. By the evening time it had climbed back up to 71F so I put some more ice packs in there and cooled it back down to 67F. I got a new tub insulator cover but I am not sure if it is actually doing all that much. I am hoping it isn't getting too crazy because of the temp fluctuation. Morning of 9/3 the beer had risen back up to 70F. I iced it back down to 68. I am wondering if the insulation is keeping the heat in too. Evening of 9/3 it had risen back up to 70F. Iced it down to about 67/68. 9/4 by morning the brew had creeped up to 70F again. I chilled it down to 68F. By evening it was back up to 70F so I dropped it to 67F. 9/5 let the temp go and by 9/7 it was up about 74F. Dry Hopped 9/8/2013. I realized that I swapped the yeast vials and used wlp001 instead of wlp051. Gravity reading on 9/16 put it at 1.014. Racked to keg on 9/18/13 after cold crashing for 2 days. |

Notes: Porter made from maple sap, no water. Added 1 pint of maple syrup (same farm as the sap) at FO. From what I have been able to read, the consensus seems to be that not much maple flavor will shine through unless you use a gallon or more at FO or in a secondary, which I do not plan to do. Worst case scenario, it the maple will not be noticeable, and I'll be left with a solid porter; tragic. Going to ferment at 64F for a week then go up to about 68 for the duration, prob 3 weeks total in primary. BTW, the recipe called for 1# 40L, but my store only had about a half pound, so on a whim, used 120L for the other half. Perhaps this will be a stout. |

Notes: Water filtered through a carbon 5 micron filter numerous times. Starting pH 6.89
3g Calcium Chloride Anhydrous added to aid amylase in starch conversion.
pH adjusted to 5.5 using (pool acid) HCl.
Carscade hops home grown in Mount Macedon Vic Australia.
SG 1044 or 1042 Tilt and or Hydrometer.
I am trying to make a pale beer in the style of Corona with a well balanced but obvious new world American hop flavor. Not lawnmower beer more like beer you might have on the beach after a good surf watching the sun go down. ABV 4.5 IBU 22
Starter temp should be 25C for about 4 hours to get a better lift off
I used Wheatbix a supermarket cereal for the wheat component.
