Notes: If you're not from USA, and the northeast at that, Otis Spunkmeyer used to be a brand of cookies found in various locations. The idea was your store would get the dough, and a little oven, and with little effort you could pump out the most amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies, all warm and gooey. This beer is a love letter to those days. Shooting for warm, biscuity, bready malt body, with notes of sweet chocolate, vanilla, and a bit of coffee/toffee/other "dessert" notes from the secret weapon, Black Treacle. Speaking of which, for the wort, DON'T actually use American or Black Strap molasses, but instead Lyle's Black Treacle, from Amazon. Crazy good stuff. Loads of flavors.

Let the primary fermentation run it's course (shoot for 14 days on the trub), and then let it sit for seven days on a slit open vanilla bean in a secondary vessel. At packaging (I'm using a corny keg), add 16 oz. of Ghirardelli chocolate syrup. Dark beers being mysterious, you'll get a bang for your buck aging and conditioning this, the longer the better. That said, that treacle works wonders, and after only one week (21 days in primary and secondary, and 7 to condition) you'll still have a surprisingly complex dark treat. Between that, the chocolate malt grain, and the lactose sugar to leave residual sweetness, you should get a nice chocolate effect to go with the malt. Hops should balance this malty, chocolatey treat for these last chilly days before summer and its sours, wheats, and IPAs...

Notes: Cosmic Trident is a three-pronged approach to a delicious beer. Moderate bitterness from timeless Cascade is bolstered with copious additions of Trident™ hops. Meticulously paired with a revolutionary Omega Yeast strain, the amplification of aromatic and flavorful thiols creates a sipping experience that would excite Poseidon himself.

The result is an incredibly fruit-forward ale ranging from bright tart citrus to a kaleidoscope of tropical fruit flavors and aromas. The malt foundation of classic American 2-row creates a perfect temple for the hops and yeast to yield a flavor monster that only Odysseus could defeat.

Primary Fermentation - 2 weeks (Dry Hop on Day2)
Secondary Fermentation - 2 weeks (Dry Hop on Day 15)

Notes: Mash @ 150f for 75 Minutes, boil for 60 Minutes
-Ferment in low to mid 50’s for 7-9 days, then let temperature rise to room temp over the next few days to let yeast finish out and consume diacetyl. The max temp I let this get to near the tail end of fermentation is 68f. Straight from the fermenter, it tasted wonderful, but I enjoy aging my lagers to help with clarification. One thing I would possibly change is the hops.

Notes: 2.5 gallons of bottled spring water into sanitized fermenter. added 10lbs Kirkland Clover Honey and topped off water to ~ 3.75 gallons or Original gravity of 1.100. rehydrated 2 packets of lalvin ec-1118 with 95* bottled water. Pitched yeast along with 1 tsp of DAP and 1/2 tsp of fermaid K. temp initially 78* but cooled indoors to 70* and began fermentation within 8 hours. fermenter transferred to garage where temp dropped to 65*.
fermaid K additions
at pitch: 1/2tsp
24hrs: 1/2tsp
48hrs:1/2tsp
@ ~1.055:1/2tsp
Degassed twice a day for the first 3 days
stalled fermentation after 9 days at 1.060 for a few days. ferm temp dropped to 60* and pH was 2.9. added 2.5 grams of potassium carbonate, 1/2 tsp DAP, raised temp to 66* and re pitched. New pH 3.5 and fermentation has restarted. stppped fermentation with campden tabs and potassium sorabate at 1.010.
12/9/2018- back sweetened with 12 oz by weight of clover honey which made the final gravity 1.012. this gravity reading leads me to believe thatmy last gravtiy reading was wrong or fermentation is still going slowly somehow. will check gravity again in a month or so to determine is it is still fermenting. strong cardamom flavor and aroma needs age and more sweetnes

Notes: Make 1L yeast starter at least 48 hrs prior to brew day.

Taste: Not a lot of maltyness, slight bitterness, not too much of a fan of the hop flavors.

Color: Color is perfect for a blonde ale - not a lot of sediment

Smell: Nise crisp smell with a slight florally aroma.

Things to Change: Change base malt from Golden Promise to Maris Otter. Try switching the order of the hops, or switching altogether.

Notes: BREW NOTES
First brewed 30/08/2015. Want to try push mash temp up and see whether improves mash efficiency.

MASH NOTES.
Only getting around 60-63% efficiency. Have tried all manner of things to bump up. Looked through old notes and remembered that even with a pre Tun heat up, I still need an extra 2 deg C on top of brewers friend calcs. Last 3 brews all around 64-65 deg C mash temp on purpose.(wanted drier beers then but efficiency suffered) This time have bumped up mash temp extra 2 deg aiming for 67-68 deg C over 90 mins. Extra 2 deg C last thing to test before changing to smaller esky cooler Tun.
Ambient temp 18 deg C (end of winter) 30/08/2015
I have tun insulated with cardboard and wrapped in blanket.
Single Infusion.
Grain temp 13 deg C
2.5 L/1kg grain
Strike (brewers Friend) 21L @ 77deg C.
Actual Strike 79.5 Deg C. Adjust for your equipment.
After 30 mins sitting on 67-68 Deg C. Stirred
After 60 mins sitting on 66 Deg C. Added 2L boiling water. No noticeable temp changed.
After 90 mins finished at
Mash Out
Raised temp to 68-69 deg C stir and mash for 10 more minutes = 4 liters @ boiling (adjust for your equipment)
Took first running's and Re-circ'd added
12 litres @ boiling to reach 77 deg C sacc
Lauter to desired wort volume (if needed)
34 L in brew pot (adjust for your equipment) this is a 25L batch. See above.
Pre Boil OG 10.30

BOIL NOTES
See hop schedule above. Adjust AA for IBU's in your area.
90 min boil
Whirl-flock 10 min to go
Add Immersion chiller 10 min to go
Cool to desired ferm temp
Whirlpool

FERM NOTES
Nottingham yeast (Danstar) re-hydration 1.064 slightly high for 1 packet. I re-hydrated only.
Original Gravity 1.076 way higher but 22L
Final Gravity
ABV %

After BREW Notes
Mash temp rise to 68deg C haven't worked. Hit 1.076 but 22L. This is 63% which is my standard efficiency. I added 2L of fresh water to bring it down to 1.070 may add another 1L to make 1.067. Brewer's Friend calcs at 63% efficiency. Had my usual 34 liter to start boil. Left a bit more in pot so not as much trube went in, but still 6L off. Not sure why the extra boil off today.
The extra 2L of water isn't something I like to do, but ABV would be too high for 1 packet of dry yeast. Extra water will bring with some oxygen to aid yeast. Should it attenuate as per all my other brews 80%+ 1.010 i'll end up with an imperial-ish 7.8% 1.012 finish 7.6% down side is I wanted a hoppy plain-ish IPA lucky the extra IBU's are in it as it will still be a balanced beer with a 1.012+ finish.

FG 1.016 added extra water.ABV 6.69%
