Notes: After 5-7 days of fermentation, transfer into a glass carboy. At this time zest 1 medium size lemon and microwave the peelings for 30 seconds to kill any microbes. Do not boil the peels! Add ½ to all of the zest to the secondary fermenter depending on your desired taste. Leave in the carboy for 1-2 weeks.

Notes: ==============================
12/3/2021
did not take down FG. the beer tasted amazing but turned brown after about a week. mustve oxidized during kegging or carbonating (shook keg) but it really tasted great, a lot of tropical fruity flavor and smell. not sure what hops are in this blend. detected a small amount of galaxy in it.

==============================
10/5/2021
Brew day. Updating to 68% efficiency for 1080 OG. Not sure volume tho

==============================
10/4/2021
removing DME. this will be the first brew on the grainfather so im hoping to not get abysmal efficiency - predicting/bumping efficiency up from 52 to 63 for 7.8%abv.

also starting from primo (RO?) water and building to "light colored and hoppy" BF profile.
==============================
9/30/21
BRANCHING OFF ZAMBA HAZY FOR SITIVA HAZY

pretty much going to brew it the exact same grain bill and hop profile, may leave out the warrior, and using rva 132 instead of kveik.

TODO : need to fill in AA on sitiva

==============================
6/17/21
1.015 measured FG on 6/17/21 for 7.75%abv

==============================
6/10/2021
Brew day. Ended up with too much wort, again. Forgot to cook oats but I did double crush. Still only got 50% eff wtf. Adding 2 lb dme to try to save it. Adjusting the attenuation to convince myself kviek will go down to 1012 and 8%. Bad brew day

==============================
5/14/2021
Initial recipe creation,
grain bill : copying DRIP 3. boosting a little bit. changing eff to 60 i think we should be able to do that especially with cooked oatmeal. pay more attention to volumes. try not to end up with too much wort!

hops : will feature zamba. single hop. composing schedule based on blueberry yum yum. even split between 5 min, flameout, high krausen and standard dry hop (maybe keg)

yeast : prob would be better with london, but will consider kviek

water : thinking i will use tap. acid malt for pH. we have observed better results in west coast with water adjustments, maybe we try here too?

==============================
2/3/2021. Did not make it into feb. Its about 40 days since it was kegged, less than that since canned. The canned beer stoll looks nice and smells and tastes better than some commercial stuff but it's too bitter and lost a lot of spunk. For this next time I think we need to nail down the gravity, nail down the ph. Ditch the warrior and do like a full lb total hops and do like 1/3 hop bill in whirlpool. Try to limit oxidation in transfers but I dont think that is the main problem here. Consider doing some water adjustments. I wonder how the west coast ipa water profile would do for this.
==============================
12212020 updating recipe here to reflect what i did. please reference previous versions of this recipe for the original/correct recipe. realized i didnt have any real citra during brew day so i overloaded on mosaic and used a little citra noble. then in dry hop i did something off script as well cant remember what but i think i mightve done 4 oz citra and 2 oz mosaic?

efficiency was bad, target 1072 actual 1065. bad ph reading. not sure what happened but maybe some issue with water. need to examine water profile from tap and/or build a custom profile from scratch.
==============================
12162020 recipe was drastically changed. Bad ph (4.97. wtf?) on brew day and wrong hops. Anyway also used London 3 new pack with 1 day starter expected 1017 FG instead of reused hothead 1010 FG changing that now.
==============================
11/23/2020
planning for brew 3. last one was indeed way off, not sure why, see theories below. this time bumping up 2row and wheat to get to 8%. thinking about switching from kviek and use regular london just because of my chamber and compatibility with other stuff going on. also thinking about possibly modifying water profile. thinking about brewing 10 gals eek. possibly bumping up the hops?
===============================
10/2/2020
kegged this a couple days ago. really hot with hop burn. and kind of a rubber smell and taste. i wonder if i pushed this kveik too far. also i have not been cleaning it from trub and it could possibly have gelatin protein gunk it in? not sure. prob need to start again with a fresh pitch. anyway the first pint was pretty bad tasting and the second i drank last night was also but a little better. maybe hop burn will subside. its only about 10 or 11 days out from brew day. some ipas taste better after a couple weeks. maybe itll improve.
===============================
9/9/2020
bumped up 2 row from 7.5 to 9.5, boosted up oats. not sure how efficiency will be but im assuming 65% without the oats factored in. with oats added im assuming it drops to 55. could be wrong. maybe the gravity is the problem.

added 4 more oz hops.

TODO : should figure out water...
this has sample profile but has bicarbonate instead of alkalinity :
https://www.clawhammersupply.com/blogs/moonshine-still-blog/juicy-neipa-new-england-ipa-recipe

maybe think about searching brewersfriend for one

===============================
6/28/2020
brewed tue 6/23
dry hopped fri 6/26
cold crash sun 6/28
keg & carb mon 6/29
can tue 6/30

im not finding any research on kveik needing cleanup / diacetyl rest time after terminal gravity?? some places are saying you can rack it 36-72 hours after pitch

===============================

this one is a combination of the hop profile of all the rage
* https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/520206/all-the-rage-conan-alt-mini-mash-30min-

and the grain bill from please come to boston
* https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/978461/please-come-to-boston-neipa

but also using hothead kveik yeast for this thing. this is the first beer with henrico water profile input and pH estimates observed, as such will be adding some acidulated malt to hopefully bring the mash pH down

Notes: Boil water first to deoxygenate, add maltodextrin and 1 oz nutrient blend (to sanitize), cool to 170, add flaked (quick) oats, hold for 30 minutes (this supposedly locks in starches for mouthfeel, but they may be fermentable by the Brett later on... so if nothing else, it will just give them more food for the funk. I used a bag, and squeezed when done... lots of gooey goodness came out!), then cool to 100 F. Add honey and mix until dissolved well. Measure pH if able, and add 88% lactic acid to adjust pH down to ~4.5 (not required, but helps against unwanted organism contamination), and then pitch one shot of Goodbelly (lacto plantarum). Make sacc yeast starter, oxygenating and adding 1/2 oz yeast nutrient.

Let sit for 24-48 hrs (to taste, or pH reading, if you're looking for a specific level). Can boil now to kill lacto and lock in sour level (but boiling will also volalitlize some honey aromatics, so I don't plan on doing it), or just pitch sacc if you don't mind it getting more sour over time (I'd only go 24 hrs if so). Add 1/4 oz yeast nutrient when pitching sacc. Ferment temp controlled at 64-5 for first 3-4 days, degassing each day, then can warm up to room temp to finish attenuation, adding last 1/4 nutrient then. After a week or so (doesn't need to be completely dry yet), add Brett(s), and let it do its thing for a couple months...

Dry hop, or add fruit to, all or a portion, if desired, before bottling. Get creative with complementary flavors!

HALF TO MASH... HALF To SPARGE

If the pH is too high, this usually means adding acid malt (~1% of the grist for every intended .1 drop)
If the pH is too low I add chalk (which should ideally be dissolved in carbonated water first) or baking soda (which can be added directly to the mash).

Add first dry hop to fermentor at end of brewday!

Notes: Mighty Duck! is an attempt at an extract Kwak clone.

Aiming to produce 40x330ml bottles from this brew so I need at least 13.2l available at bottling time. I'd need an estimated 15-16l going in to the primary fermenter.

Actually got 17l going in to the primary, topped up a little, to 18.5l, to bring the OG down from 1.078 to 1.070.

If I'd left the OG at 1.078 and fermentation ends at the anticipated 1.016 then the ABV would be 8.14% - closer to Kwak's actual 8.4%.

FG reading is 1.010 giving an ABV of 7.88%

Moved 15.5l to a secondary FV after primary completed. Is clearing nicely after the first week.

Bottled 46 x 330ml bottles from the secondary. Very little sediment and a good, clear, beer going in to the bottles.

Beer at bottling was sitting at 11C hence the lower volume of brewing sugar (corn sugar) than I'd normally expect for a target CO2 volume of 2.2.

1st photo is Kwak on the left, Mighty Duck on the right after 1 week in the secondary. Has the banana hit you get from Kwak.

The flavour development in the bottle has been interesting.

For the first month of bottle conditioning I tasted a bottle at week 1 and 2 and the banana flavour was reducing with bitterness increasing. I waiting until it had a full month in the bottle before tasting again and it was the same change - even less banana and more bitterness.

Zero carbonation at the end of month 1.

Waiting until month 2 and a big change - banana flavour is starting to re-appear and that rich Belgian Dubbel flavour is starting to appear. The bitterness has almost completely dissipated.

End of month 2 and the carbonation is starting to appear, a good hiss when the bottle opens but overall carbonation is light.

The beer is almost completely clear now too.

Now waiting for month 3...

Notes: This is a modification to an award winning recipe found at http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/russian-imperial-stout-2011-hbt-competition-category-winner-238807/

Directions say to primary for at least a month, then secondary for another 3, or 6 if you can wait that long.
The original directions suggest that it peaks around 8 months.

to add vanilla, slice 3 vanilla beans down the center and spread the bean apart. Soak in enough bourbon (Makers Mark) to cover for a week. Then add everything to the beer when racking. We added the beans in a hop bag for easy removal. remove beans in a few days depending on taste.

Why VIIIRIS? V for vanilla, III for 3 beans, RIS for Russian imperial stout.
The VIII is also my initials

Notes: 2017 version had all kinds of malts in there: c20, c120, brown, chocolate, black barley (pic)
2018 I'm simplifying and just using brown, c120 and black barley
- expect terrible efficiency in the 55% range. There's just so much grain to mash. Maybe try leaving it overnight next time for some extra grav points and better fermentability.
- Last time was 10kg of base malt for 24L. Mashed 1hr and got 1.078 pre-boil.
- added 500g sugar to get us up over 1.085; shooting for around 9% ABV
- Experimenting with adding 1/2 Bourbon-soaked oak spiral (and some of the oaked bourbon) to the keg.
- bumped up the black barley (+100g) as this one (2018) is a bit light once it clears.
