Notes: clean and drinkable but according to judges, is a little thin compared to style. Recommend adding an additional pound of DME and maybe a little carafoam to add body and mouthfeel. Many stout junkies at local home brew shop very much enjoyed this one, didn't recommend any changes unless I was to enter it in competition. |

Notes: From the Lagunitas website:
BEER SPECS: DAYTIME
At 4% ABV and only 98 calories, DayTime IPA represents everything we know about making hop-forward beer, expressed in a sotto voice.
ABV 4%
O.G. 1.035
IBU 31
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCXn_LCfcPg
Straight from the source (contact at Lagunitas):
In regards to Daytime-esque recipe be sure to have a healthy dose of wheat malt and wheat adjuncts either flaked or torrified (we are fans of the latter) but keep your S.G. in to the 1.040-1.050 range and add in some oat adjunct to the grist bill, again flaked will do but we are fans of the golden naked oats or you could use some standard oat malt for extra mouthfeel and residual sweetness, so no colored malt and focus on wheat and oats will get you to a good beverage and from there you can play with the quantities to your desire, increase adjuncts if you are going more "hazy IPA" or use 100% fermentable sugars like cane or dextrose if you are looking for something more "session". |

Notes: My try at an IIPA with CaraAroma. The Chinook hops are from home vines.
Mashing at 158 - want a higher FG with this beer to provide backbone for all the hops.
Objective - bitter as hell, but makes you want more. Smells like beer heaven. Best drank from a snifter. Coats the teeth with hops resin. Pairs well with a cigar. A universe of complexity and enjoyment.
First try with the new BRY-97 yeast. Should be fun to see how this new Chico strain performs. Could only get one 11g pack, so I will make a starter.
Expecting lower than normal efficiency due to the relatively high OG for me, and my thin walled mash tun. Going to mash for 90 minutes to try to mitigate this, stir well, and keep the temp as consistent as I can.
1/7/2013 - Results! This is a very respectable and drinkable IIPA, a lot better than many that I've had at the popular Green Dragon bar here in town!
The flavor is very caramel and malt like, bit of a roasty herbal hop finish. It does coat my tongue, mostly with sweetness. It does give a very slight bitter burn at times. The back of my tongue is 'coated', but not my entire mouth, which I think makes this IIPA easier to drink than many which are too overpowering. I still want to find that delicate balance point. The extra gypsum paid off, and I do get a mineral flavor in the aftertaste, which fits nicely with the sweetness.
The Amarillo dry hop really completes it, do not skip that step! (this is based on the sample I tasted before dry hopping)
The aroma is sweet caramel, mild tropical fruit, and herbal hops. The original pineapple I was getting from the BRY-97 is mostly gone, and amazingly this beer tastes great after only a few days in the bottle.
Honestly, I was shooting for something more bitter, so I would go ahead and up it to 140 IBUs next time, even though that is technically outside the IIPA style guidelines - it is malty and it can handle more hops. In fact, I might shoot for 50% more hops at every step next time to really amp it up. Since I was using home grown Chinook hops, all bets are off in terms of the actual AA value - ymmv. |

Notes: Brewed 6/21/15. Mashed at 148-151 for ~75mins. It looks dark orange and smells biscuity; I'm thinking 20L Munich would have been much better than the 30L but they were out. Pre-boil gravity 1.050. OG 1.052, 60% efficiency. Missed my 70% target. Just over 4 gallons of wort (kettle holds ~4.25). Ambient fermentation temperature held at ~75 throughout.
+12 days: Added 1oz lemon drop hops. Gravity 1.001
+23 days: Bottled with 10 tbsp table sugar; Going for ~3 volume. 38 beers total..
+36 days: fridged.
Won 1st place at 2015 Denver County Fair in Saison category. Two judges gave it 35/50 and 39/50. One judge thought it leaned towards residual sweetness and was not quite dry enough; the other though it finished dry. Both agreed that the carbonation was a bit much and the bottle did gush a little.
Next time I want to increase aciduated malt to 0.5lb, increase rye to 1 - 1.25lb, replace munich with a touch of midnight wheat for color, and reduce alcohol content slightly. Use less priming sugar.

Notes: Mengden meske- og skyllevann du bør bruke kommer an på utstyret og metoden du brygger med. Som et anslag kan vi si at du kan bruke 40 l meskevann og 26,6 l skyllevann til dette ølet. Noen bryggemaskiner (f.eks. Speidel Braumeister) kan kreve større mengder meskevann. Sjekk alltid manualen på utstyret du bruker.
Mesking på 65 grader i 75 min. Utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min hvis du har mulighet til å øke temperatur i mesken.
Kjøl ned til 15 grader før pitching av gjær.
Gjæring på 16 grader til stormgjæring begynner å avta (typisk etter 3-5 dager). Øk deretter til 20 grader og hold resten av gjæringsperioden (totalt 14 dager).

Notes: This is a really balanced, slightly malty amber beer with a touch of roasted flavor.
The IBUs are so high on this, it is out of style for an Okto, but that doesn't matter to me.
*** NOTE: Not as good as using lager yeast. Won't be trying a 'mocktoberfest' again.
The flavor profile reminds me of a porter or stout. I think this yeast would do much better in a brown ale. The complex notes the hops are supposed to impart are being overridden too much by a harsh roasted maltiness. I don't think that is coming from the grain bill. Drinkable, powerful tasting beer, but not what I was hoping for.
In summary, screw Mocktoberfest, stick with Oktoberfest and larger it. |

Notes: Mash grains for 45-60 mins then pour hot water over BIAB to sparge off excess sugar.
Mash temp 158f. Higher levels give a less fermentable wort and a more full-bodied beer.
Roast Cocoa nibs at 300 for 10-15 minutes.
Add cocoa nibs, dark bakers chocolate and first addition of coffee at flameout. You can skip this coffee addition for a more balanced or less coffee flavored beer. Then maybe only do .5oz coarse ground coffee in secondary.
Filter off hops, coffee, cocoa into fermenter.
After ferment rack onto coarse ground coffee for 7 days. Coffee can be soaked overnight in vodka.
Coffee Must be coarse!
I boil about 1/4 gallon every 15 mins in a 4 gallon (16 quart) kettle so it took me an hour to boil off 1 gallon. I adjusted recipe to start with 2 gallons.
Head Retention: It's possible oils from the cocoa or coffee beans can reduce head retention. Choose dry beans. Or soaking them in vodka can help.
