Notes: Double batch was brewed on 12-31-16.
Boil kettle #1 - 10 gal Mega Pot
Boil kettle #2 - 7 gal stainless steel pot
Additional water was added to the pre-boil pot to compensate for losses in evaporation and absorption. We were shooting for roughly a 6-8% loss in water volume during the boil process.
The cascade hops were added at the 55 minute mark or 5 min boil time instead of 10 min. We wanted to retain more of the hop essential oils and aromas in the wort.
The beer had quite a bit of sediment/trub in the pot as we experienced a few clogged hoses and a clogged pickup tube during the racking process from the boil kettle to the fermenter. Most of the sludge was due to hop material that had absorbed liquid wort. Next time it would be worth the effort to contain the hops in a cheesecloth bag or some type of strainer vessel.
10 gal brew pot #1 had additional water added after the boil to bring up the volume to roughly 5 gal. Not sure why there was a significant difference between pot #1 and pot #2 with regard to water losses during the boil. Perhaps pot #1 had a more vigorous boil.
Post-boil gravity was 1.075 in a 70 degree room.
Racked beer to keg on 1-22-17. Initial tasting was excellent. |

Notes: This is my standard house brew. It is light and enjoyable and tastes great with English or American malts. I always ferment it a touch hot to bring out the fruity characteristics of the yeast which blend nicely with the Tettnang hops. |

Notes: Modified an Kona Castaway clone All-Grain recipe for Extract plus steeping grain. The final specs for the brew closely match those of the All-Grain recipe, however I modified them to reduce the ABV to a more likable 5.6% vice the 6.4% ABV of the All-Grain recipe. Kona website says their Castaway is 6.0% ABV. Also added a bit of 60 L Crystal to the 20 L called for in the All-Grain recipe, to bring the SRM to 10. No comment re: SRM on the Kona site. Also, increased the fermentation volume to 6 gallons to net 5 gallons for bottling in view of dry hopping which always has a bunch of waste due to hop trub. The hops specified on the Kona site, were the ones I used. Adjusted boil volume to allow the hop quantities specified in the All-Grain recipe to hit the Kona-specified 50 IBU.
So, except for the lower ABV, this ought to taste a lot like Kona's Castaway. |

Notes: Fermented it on my back porch for the first ten days when it was around 50-60F. Then transferred it after about the 10th day to the secondary fermenter and into my unheated foyer, where it was around 45 for the past 4 weeks. Just bottled it yesterday with cane sugar primer and will store for three weeks at room temp before storing in my cellar for another month at 55. I tasted the beer at bottling and it has a nice crisp, slightly bitter, dry and malty. running about 6.2% ABV. Clear gold color. I really liked this Munich Lager yeast as it really performed in colder temps and attenuated nicely. |

Have Krispy on hand. Wish I had Krispy 2.0 or Lutra.
Krispy @ 68ºF was good. I think Lutra would be as well. Going with semi-cold (60ºF) fermented 34/70 on second batch. Also fixed "leaf/whole" to pellet for initial bittering addition.
Went sulfate heavy (light and hoppy BFriend profile) and it was really drinkable, but almost too "drying" on the palate in the finish. Going to try a balanced profile as I want a little of that rather than shift straight to a chloride heavy profile.
Balanced profile seemed better than sulfate heavy so sticking with that. Still quaffable, but less drying on the palate. Reducing the grain to 11 from 12 lbs to reduce the strength a bit. Want to be able to have a couple. |
