Notes: Batch #12A-5A
American Amber(Red)Ale with a sharp bite of hops and a lemon kick in the tail
American 2-row pale ale malt, American Crystal 60L, Victory malt rounds out the grain bill. Mash temperatures in the range of 152°F to 154°F creating a wort with a nice balance of fermentable and non-fermentable sugars.
Magnum hops adds a balanced bitterness, homegrown whole leaf Cascade hops adds a distinctive grapefruit flavor and Lemon Drop hops during flameout adds a special aroma.
Yeast: White Labs California Ale WLP001 PurePitch Lot #1025150 Manuf. April 12, 2016. QC cell count 2.82e9/ml slurry.
Saint Philip the Serpent Killer is the 5th of 12 brews in the Twelve Apostles beer line. Each of these 12 brews are American Amber Ales. Experimentation with water profile, temperature variations including mash temp., grain bill, ambient temp., hops varieties and yeast strains provide endless opportunity to learn about and improve this beer over the year.
Homegrown Cascade hops Alpha Acid has been age adjusted in this recipe since details of storage and pick date are a known variable.
Bitterness to starting gravity ratio (IBU [32.3] divided by OG [52]) = [.62]. (0.5 to 0.7 for a balanced amber).
Actual Final Gravity (w/h calibrated precision hydrometer) = 1.008.
Actual ABV = 5.64%.
All test equipment calibrated prior to use.

OG: 1.060
FG: 1.016 (Taken on day 6)
ABV: 5.78%

Used pure O2 for the first time, 60 seconds

Notes: Brewed very successfully on 04/23/16. Pitched decanted yeast at 61 degrees.
Gravity read 12.75 brix (1.0495) which equates to 75% efficiency (almost 76)- initially aimed at 71% - Double milled grain.
Mashed at 150 exact at dough in, and 149 @30 mins.
The water loss calculation of .14 can probably be brought down to .135 since there was still a substantial amount of wort in the cooler as I lifted the bag.
Overall, went great!
***9 hours later raised temp to 65 due to not activity.***
04/24/16: 15 hours after raising the temp to 65 and there was lots of fermentation activity. Turned down temp to 64.
***11 hours later brought down temp to 63. There was krausen ejected and a lot of activity - had to clean the blow off tube as I was afraid it would blow the lid - seemed a bit clogged***

04/26/16: beer was at 61 degrees and still bubbling but a lot slower. I took off the cover and see that there's still some krausen ontop and lots of yeast still in suspension and some smell of sulfur.
Meter @72 degrees measured 6 brix (1.0106 @4.9%).
Temp was raised to 66 degrees in hopes of giving it a d-rest. FG is expected around 1.008-1.009
04/17/16: Some bubbling still, and temp was at 65 degrees.

04/30/16: @67 degrees and 5.9 brix. Taste no diacetyl, but there is smell of sulfur. (1.0103 @5%). Not bad. Cannot taste any hop presence.

05/05/16: kegged today. No sulfur smell anymore! Did not have much of a smell at all, and the yeast had dropped and compacted to the bottom.
Measured 5.7 brix @69 degrees (1.0096 @ 5.1%). Nice! 79% apparent attenuation.

Notes: If you haven't had a Classic American Pilsener yet, you're missing out! This is the first one I've brewed, and also even tried, but I'm extremely pleased with the way it turned out. One of my best beers yet. If you are asked to give a style example when asked to define just "beer", this is what comes to mind for me. Just a great, balanced, easy-drinking, flavorful beer (not too hoppy, not too malty, not too light, not to heavy, etc... A real "Goldilocks" beer - just right!). Give this one a try.

I've used both WLP833 and WLP838... But a pilsener yeast or any good lager yeast would probably work very well also.

Notes: To reduce the oils brought in by the shredded coconut, I covered with paper towels and baked in the oven for about 20 minutes on each side @ 300F and patted down with a paper towel again before putting in the fermenter. Not worried about infection at that point due to the beer already being alcoholic and the paper towel + coconut having been baked at 300F.

Super sessionable, great summer beer.

Notes: Steep grains at 152-156F for 45 minutes.

Spices should be ground. Be careful not to get any of the white pith when zesting the orange.

Every flavor from the spices, hops, orange zest, and especially the yeast esters come through in this beer, but all are incredibly subtle. The ECY-08 took the gravity all the way down to 1.004 so it's very dry and almost crisp.

This beer took best of show at a somewhat small competition. It also made it to the best of show round at a local homebrew club competition. I have also had many folks say that they've never enjoyed a Saison until trying this one. I put a lot of work into the research, planning and brewing of this beer. I'm pretty damned proud of it, but I owe a lot of credit for the recipe to many members of the Annapolis Homebrew Club. The only thing I would change is to up the flavor and aroma hops just a bit. Now to convert the recipe to all-grain.

Steep grains at 152-156F for 45 minutes.
