Notes: the extracts are actually unlisted here, so they are Northern Brewer Super Structure Liquid for IPA, Millard Malts Golden, and Briess Golden Light DME; this will produce a slightly higher OG. Also, The grains, my Belgian 20L is actually Belgian Cara 8, again not on the list here. I will update on the boil in the next week or two, Cheers!

Notes: I`m primarily using Heather honey in my mead. At least 60/40 when I use a mix of Heather and Flower honey.

2 liter starter @1.04SG, 2 stage.

Filipendula ulmaria ( called Mead spice locally ) was traditionally used as "flavoring", and is this brews source of tannin. Caution; Filipendula ulmaria is a natural source of salicylic acid. Steep the Filipendula ulmaria in 1 liter of water so that it makes a strong, pungent tea. Add the tea to the fermentor the 3rd day.

Add commercially prepared Apple Must/ Apple Juice ( without preservatives like Potassium Sorbate, Ascorbic Acid is ok tho ) to the fermentor the 3rd day. The pectinase will help break down any pectin.

Leave to ferment for 30 days. Store for an additional year after botteling. Enjoy =)

End notes:
It was, to my best knowledge, uncommon to use hops in mead. Nor was it common to use any kind of malt. Hops, malt and Achillea millefolium ( a hops substitute, called Beer king locally ) was most commonly use for brewing beer ( beer was for every day use and mead for special occasions ).

You could add a small amount of clove, ginger and nutmeg to make the brew spiced as well ( I use these spices with restraint as I do not want my mead to taste like gingerbread ). Boil the spices for 15 minutes and let the Filipendula ulmaria flowers steep to make the tea.

Carbonation was also rare at best, and then only lightly ( due to lack of pressure proof containers ).

Notes: Used BF Starter Calculator: 9 oz light DME in 2.65L 24 hrs prior.
Brewed according to recipe. Started boil with 7.25 gallons in kettle.
OG = 1.054
Pitched starter and ended up with 6.75 in fermenter.
FG = 1.008
ABV = 6%
Bottled up 66 12 oz'rs
Recipe produced an excellent Amber Colored, Hoppy American Pale Ale.
This beer scored 42/50 and took 3rd place in a local homebrew contest. It was likely the simplest beer entered.
Sept 11: I have brewed this beer 3 times now. The last 2 times I used Omega's Voss Kveik in a starter. Brew Saturday, add 2nd dry hop on Wednesday, bottle the next Saturday. Still Excellent!

Notes: 1-2 days before brew day: Yeast start er (optional, but recommended)

Pitch Wyeast into a starter. A wine bottle or 22 oz beer bottle fitted with an airlock and #2 stopper works perfect. Use 1/4 cup malt extract in 8 oz of water for a starter wort. Boil 5 minutes, cool and pitch yeast.

Brew day:

Put your volume of water on to boil, usually 2-2.5 gallons, unless you have a wort cooling device. When water temperature reaches 150, add the adjunct malt grains in grain steeping bag. Hold temperature at 150-160 for 30 minutes. Stir the grains occasionally. After 30 minutes resume heat. When temperature reaches 170 remove or strain the grain out. Now add the extract.

You can let some hot water mix with the extract to help loosen it up and pour smoothly. Proceed on to full boil, and stir to prevent the extract from scorching on the bottom of the pot.

At full boil, 60 minute countdown:

At full boil, add the 2 oz of bittering hops and gypsum, and begin an hour countdown. As always, stir occasionally.

At 10 minutes:Add the 1 oz of hops.

At 5 mins:Add the 1 oz of hops

At 0 mins:Add the 1 oz of finishing hops

End of boil:

Shut off heat and begin to cool your wort as soon as possible. When wort is about 75 degrees, or when wort is cool enough to mix with water to reach about 75 degrees, pour and strain the wort into your primary fermenter. When pouring the wort into the primary, aerate as much as possible. You can accomplish this by dipping a sanitized container, such as a measuring cup into the wort and pouring back into the wort. Create as much foam and bubbles as you can for about ten minutes. Double check your temperature to be sure it is not above 80 degrees and take a hydrometer reading. Now pitch the contents of the yeast pack into the primary fermenter, cover, set-up the sanitized airlock and stopper assembly, and place the primary where it will remain around 68 degrees during fermentation.

Next 4 days:Your fermentation should begin after about 12 hours. From then on fermentation will peak then subside. After high krausen, you may opt to rack to glass secondary carboy.

Next 3 days: After 5 and 6 days take hydrometer readings. If no perceptible change in gravity occurs, you are ready to bottle. If the gravity keeps reducing, wait. If you are unsure wait one more day.

Bottling day: Be especially careful about sanitizing and racking at this stage! Thoroughly clean and sanitize bottles and caps. Preheat 3/4 cup corn sugar (dextrose) in a saucepan with 3-4 cup of water and bring to a quick boil. Carefully rack beer to a bottling bucket and swirl in corn sugar mixture. Be careful not to slosh around the beer, you don’t want to oxidize.

Bottle and cap. Store at room temperate to ensure good bottle fermentation.

10 days after bottling: Sample a beer. Be patient, you can try a bottle after about a week, but most beers, especially hoppy medium and high gravity beers, benefit from some aging. Enjoy!

Tips and fine-tuning:

-Try to boil and cool the largest possible volume you can manage.

-Varying the fermentation temperature will result in different flavors. Fermenting warm (up to 72 degrees)

will produce fruity, estery qualities. An LCD stick-on thermometer will allow you to monitor fermentation temperatures.

-Always be sure to sanitize every piece of brewing equipment, after you are finished with the boil. A 5 gallon utility bucket half filled with an iodine based “no rinse” sanitizer is convenient for this.

-Secondary fermentation in glass is recommended.

-If you boil a full wort volume, your hop efficiency will improve.

Notes: This is a pilsner based American IPA that uses no hop additions in the boil. Instead, hops are added during the mash, first-wort, flame-out, and in the fermentor for dry hopping. Carapils and brumalt add a honey-like sweetness and oats enhance the mouthfeel.

Ignore the whacky IBU estimate shown below, brewprint doesn't know how to handle non-boil additions. This recipe should be around 55-60 IBUs, as indicated in the Target Metrics above. The numbers and schedule are as follows:

1.50 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - Mash 60.0 min Hop 7 11.9 IBUs
0.50 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] - Mash 60.0 min Hop 8 3.7 IBUs
0.50 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - First Wort 60.0 min Hop 9 21.8 IBUs
0.50 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] - First Wort 60.0 min Hop 10 20.2 IBUs
1.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Aroma Steep 5.0 min Hop 12 0.0 IBUs
0.50 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] - Aroma Steep 5.0 min Hop 13 0.0 IBUs
1.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Dry Hop 7.0 Days Hop 14 0.0 IBUs
