Notes: Mash at 149°F (63°C) for 90 minutes, drain, and sparge to yield 5.5 gallons (18.9 l). Allow the wort to cool to 110–120°F (43–49°C), and pitch your Lacto culture. Kettle sour to the desired perceivable acidity level (should be sharply sour). See “The Art of Tart” for more information.
Boil for 15 minutes, adding hops at the start of the boil.
Chill, pitch the Wyeast 1007, and ferment at 65°F (18°C). After completing fermentation, package to 3.5 volumes of CO2.
add pomegranate juice after high Krausen. Add 8 points to Gravity making it 1.045 when it’s all said and done. |

Notes: I've brewed this base beer several times with different additions. In the pictures you can see the original, chocolate-vanilla version, which was my very first stout, and one of my best recipes ever.
For vanilla version: when fermentation starts soak at least 2 vanilla beans in vodka until secondary (2 weeks). Be sure to scrape out all the vanilla, chop up the bean to small pieces as well and put everything into a small jar. Shake it up every now and then. Dump all into secondary and transfer the beer on top.
This beer was amazing from the first day, but also aged really well. At the second year mark when I opened the last bottle the vanilla has disappeared, but the beer was truly amazing.
I also highly recommend you try this with medium toasted american oak chips! |

http://brulosophy.com/2014/10/06/is-san-diego-really-all-that-super-a-yeast-comparison/?shared=email&msg=fail
♦ Yeast Starter
3 cups boiling water. Add 1 cup DME to boiling water for 10 minutes. Sanitize everything and pour in Pyrex. Transfer to ice bath and cool to room temp 70°. FG: 1.040 Stir plate 24-48 hours or Swirl occasionally.
♦White Labs: Each vial of White Labs liquid yeast is designed to be used directly in 5 gallons 75-150 billion cells. One vial will usually start fermentation in 5 gallons in 5-15 hours at 70°F. One vial can be added directly to a 2 liter starter, which in 2 days will grow to approximately 240 billion cells
♦ STANDARD BREWING NOTES: BIAB
♫Create 8.5 gallons sparge water. Bring to 154° strike temperature. Prime pump. Pump water through hose.
Add tablespoon 5.2 pH balancer
♫Add 2 drops Fermcap before adding grain.
♫Add grain – Sparge at 154° for 90 minutes (Minimum 60) (One gallon loss during sparge process) Water burn rate: 1-1/2 gallon per hour.
♫Boil clean water for end of boil session adjustment. Adjust to 5.5 water line.

♦ The Decoction Method
All decoction mashes start with a single infusion step where hot water is added to the mash to start the mashing process. Typical temperatures for the first step vary. Multiple step decoctions are often used. Some examples of steps include:

Notes: Did the steeping of grains by 1 qt to 1lb if grains. Added grain and brought just to a boil and then covered and let sit. Brought 1 gal filtered water to near boil and added DME (6lbs at first, then 3more after getting closer to boil again). Took around 25 minutes of steeping before water was boiling. Poured 1 gal of water plus 1 qt that was saturating the grains and poured through grains 2x. Brought back to a boil and started the clock with the first hop addition (60min). Calypso 1oz to start. Citra 2oz at 45 and 30. Another shot of Calypso at 15. Added the sugar and irish moss at 10. Last hop add of German Hull Melon at 2 minutes.
To get the wort down, I tried to put in the sink with cold water (initial some ice). Once the water was warm, I refilled with cold. Did this for 15 min or so. Then to wort chiller and added 3 gal of almost frozen spring water.
Chilled to 67 and pitched yeast. OG was around 1.076. Lower than I wanted since I added .5gal too much water (than I intended)
Started 8:45 ended 11:45, all in.
Difficulty starting to ferment (3rd day). Moved to warmer room and shook it up and then it took off. Had to create a blow off system since it was foaming so much.
1 week transferred to secondary, no issue. FG was down to 1.010! Not sure how but the yeast apparently were hungry. THis puts the ABV closer to 8.5 and drops the IBU probably below 100.
Another week plus (11/30/15) bottled. Tasted as expected - Belgian round malty flavors, yeasty (very cloudy as well), but with a bit of bitterness all around. Not quite the 100 range bitterness, but that's probably due to the high malt flavors and the high ABV fire. Could be a good balance.
Used 5.5g of corn sugar for a slightly higher carbonation rate. Hoping for more of the seltzer-ish fine effervescence.
Should probably wait until after the new year to test and early Feb for release..... |

add 2oz Simcoe , @ 5 min add 1oz Citra , @flame out add the rest of the LME and DME. Make sure to add the
remaining sugars at flame out as to not scorch them. Add 2oz Citra during the whirlpool process at 130 degrees
F. Cool wort in sink of cold/iced water until it is under 68 degrees. Transfer to primary fermenter and pitch the
yeast. Add water to bring to volume or adjust original gravity. Ferment in Primary for about 5-7 days.
Secondary: Peel, dice and boil 2.0 lbs of blood orange slices at 150 F for 15 min. Cool and add to secondary along with 1oz
Simcoe.
Keep in Secondary for 5-7 days then cold crash, move to bottling bucket, add priming sugar, stir often and bottle or keg. |
