Notes: Use 24 oz mesquite chili honey (Lone Star Bee Co. Fiery Sweet Mesquite honey) and 3 lbs TX wildflower honey. No boil, just warm water to mix in honey and yeast nutrient. Use staggered nutrient additions or whatever nutrient regimen works for your meads.
If not enough chili flavor, either up the ratio of the two honeys (either 1:1 or 2:1 instead of 1:2), or could try steeping some mesquite-smoked jalapeño and/or habanero chilies in the mead. Or keep one gallon as is, add chilies to second gallon, then blend to taste... |

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. |

SECONDARY FERMENTATION: 10/14
This secondary was infused with mashed (pureed?) frozen blueberrys.
The cooking: the wheat and crystal converted its starches for 45min @ 170-150 degrees. Then sparged into spare pot and sat for the duration of the brew (about 1 more hour) in around 120F.
3 weeks old as of 10/29/16 gravity reading as of date 1.008 !
considering yeast starter next time.

Notes: Based on Beer Craft Wheat Beer recipe p88
+ various sour mash information on the internet
+ inspiration from Fieldworks’ Citra Weisse
After mashing, ice (est. 0.25 qt) to cool to 120F
Add 0.5 lb unmilled 2-row to inoculate with natural lactobacillus
Cover surface with plastic wrap to exclude oxygen
Maintain at 90F-120F for 48h
A half-vial of yeast is sufficient, although a little slow-starting; would probably use a dry yeast next time. |
