Notes: Two packets of Lalvin D47 Wine Yeast (only ferments to ~ 14%)
Yeast Starter directions from "Compleat Meadmaker" - 6.5 cups of water, tablespoon of Light DME, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 tsp Nutrient, 1/4 tsp Energizer. Bring water, nutrient, energizer, & malt extract to a boil for 15 minutes, remove from heat, add honey, cover with foil. I'll let this sit on my stir plate for about 42 hours before pitching.
Warm a couple gallons of water to ~140 F or so to mix in the clover honey which was purchased at Costco. Use chilled water to bring down to pitching temp & volume up to ~5 gallons (I went up to about 5.75 gallons). OG for me was 1.12-1.13.
Then follow nutrient additions with 1/4 tsp energizer and 1/2 tsp nutrient at 24 hours, then again at 48 hours, then again after 30% of sugar has been depleted. Two weeks of primary before racking to secondary. Warm the organic "strawberry spread" from Costco in some ~140-150 degree water just to be safe, then rest until room temp, then add in to secondary for two more weeks before racking a 3rd time. |

Notes: 1. Used center burner to bring it to 170F but it took too long; moved it to outer burner and it shot up to 200F pretty quick. Took off towels/insulation and at the end of 80m, it was down to 160F. Not sure how this'll affect the flavor.
2. Soaked medium toast oak chips in bourbon overnight, then decided to add them, along with vanilla pods, to the secondary. (6 Jun)

Calculated amount of 45% bourbon to add; 2.75 gal of 4.86% beer + 1 cup 45% bourbon = 5.7% beer. |

Yeast:
- Wyeast 1335 British Ale II
I have brewed this beer nearly a dozen times to hone in on this relatively simple recipe. The two types of caramel malt give some nice color but also contribute a complex flavor profile of caramel and dark stone fruits. The dehusked carafa II adds a deep ruby hue. The carapils helps to form and maintain a dense, lasting off-white colored foam cap which laces down the glass, but does not make the beer too full-bodied.
The dehusked Carafa is also known as Carafa Special |
