Notes: I brew with soft water. Ph is around 8. I also expected higher efficiency e.g. around 75%. Was aiming for ABV right around 8%
CaSO4: 7,2 gram (Add to mash water)
CaCO3: 1,8 gram (Add to mash water)
NaHCO3: 1,8 gram (Add to mash water)
CaSO4: 8 gram (Add to sparging water)
I used a "Hop Alpha Acid Age Adjustment Calculator" to get the right IBU |

Notes: Batch split in half. One half fermented with Wyeast French Saison and the other with cultured Saison du Pont and Saison de Lente mixed with a little peche brett tossed in on brew day for good measure.
Brew day - 4/6/13 - OG 1.065
Gravity going into secondary was 1.008 and was surprised to see that it had dropped even further to 1.003 at bottling.

Notes: Really clear right from the fermentor, nice tasting and very clean, as about as good as you can get without a lager yeast, defiantly a winner beer
now in order to get this right I used the ramping up method, start cold at 59, let it set for 5 days then ramp to 65 go three days then 70 and go three more days without opening then keg and let the beer sit at 34 while carbing slowly at 12....after 5 days on co2 it was Hell of a Kolsch |

Notes: Kettle Sour Procedure:
1) Mash at normal temp (67 C), boil for 15 min to sanitise.
2) Cool to 40 C, test pH and adjust to pH 4.5 with lactic.
3) Pitch yoghurt and purge with CO2, ferment at 40 C with heat wrap till pH 3.5
Batch #4 - 3/12/20 (Eff.: 68 %, Att.: %, ABV: %)
Made for the guys at Evolve Espresso
- Mash vol.: 31.5 L, Pre (sour)-boil vol.: 29 L, Batch vol.: 23 L
Substitutes:
- Gladfield Red Back (500g) in for Carared (550g)
- Wai-iti (finally got it) in for Riwaka, straight swap
- Everything else the same as previous
Pre-soured with 13 ml of Lactic acid (88%) and left for 48 hrs.
10/12/20 - SG: 1011 (Tilt), upped temp to 22 C
11/12/20 - SG: 1010 (Tilt)
12/12/20 - SG: 1009 (Tilt), added vanilla extract (Queen brand), rose water and frozen raspberries (1.5kg) before cold crashing.
Batch #3 - 19/01/20 (Eff.: 61 %, Att.: 75 %, ABV: 4.9 %)
- Mash vol.: 31.5 L, Pre-boil vol.: 28 L, Batch vol.: 23 L
Substitutes: Dropped pilsner malt down to 5 kg from 5.5 to bring ABV down a bit and make it a bit more 'sessionable'.
- pH 5.87 (still dropping slowly), added 10 ml (88%) lactic acid to pH 5.04, added another 3 ml to pH 4.89, added another 2 ml. (15 ml in total), pitched 2 table spoons of yoghurt, purged with CO2 and set temp to 39 C.
21/01/20 - Boiled at 10:30 AM, 27 L volume. Cooled slowly to 20 C as the day was fucking stinking hot and the pool and ground water were warm, dry pitched x2 US-05 into non-aerated wort (I'll see if this affects the beer)
24/01/20 - SG: 1021
27/01/20 - SG: 1014
28/01/20 - FG: 1013, 1.5 kg of frozen raspberries added, cold crashed.
01/02/20 - Kegged and carbed, PSI for 2:45 min.
Added: 15 ml of Rose water and 30 ml of vanilla extract
05/02/20 - This one is a banger, could be the tastiest one yet.
Batch #2 - 13/10/19 (Eff. 65%, Vol. 22.5, Att. 80%)
- Added potassium metabisulfite to this batch pre-mash.
- pH 5.87 (OG: 1051) - 12 ml Lactic acid to bring pH to 4.9
- Same heating set up and water profile as Batch #1
15/10/19 - After 48 hrs pH 3.79, tastes same as first batch (strangely) with a little funky peach, ferm. temp. sat around 37 C for that time.
- Had to cut the boil down to about 35 min as I was rushed to finish, dry pitched x2 yeast to aerated wort.
25/10/19 - FG: 1011, added 1.5 kg frozen raspberries, tasting quite sour but nothing crazy.
1/11/19 - Cold crashed
3/11/19 - Kegged and carbed through purged line and keg. Seems to taste a little 'heavier' than the first but probably just confirmation bias on the higher ABV. Cafe boys tasted slight biscuit malt finish.
Procedure - https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/funkwerks-5-tips-kettle-sours/
Batch #1 - 30/06/19 (Eff. 61%, Vol. 21 L, Att. ??%)
- OG: 1050 after 15 min sanitise boil, pH 5.42, added 5 ml Lactic acid 88% (drops to pH 5.00), added another 4 ml Lactic (drops to pH 4.80)
- Used heat wrap and temp controller set to max. (39 C) and left covered in lounge room.
1/7/19 - pH 3.75 at 5 PM (26 hrs) mildly sour with a fruity (maybe peach sweet tea) flavour, not bad at all, left it carry on for a few more hours.
2/7/19 - pH 3.57 at 8 AM, tasting still of peach tea and smells like wet malt and damp dog. Boil started at 8:15 AM, boil shortened to 50 min, chilled and aerated, x2 packs of yeast dry pitched and aerated again after 40 min.
10/7/19 - SG: 1019 (hyd.) 1034 (refract.), tastes pretty sour, added 1.5 kg of raspberries loose and it started bubbling again pretty hard overnight.
11/7/19 - Cold crashed to 1.5 C
13/7/19 - Added 30 ml Vanilla extract and 15 ml of Rose water, kegged and carbed at 30 psi for 2:30 min. Tastes of raspberry up front with subtle vanilla and a hint of rose water. Terrible idea to add the raspberries without a hop sock, they are wreaking havoc with the keg poppets and taps.
Substitutes
- Gladfield Pilsner instead of Pale Malt
- Gladfield Dark Crystal & Gladfield Shepards Delight (50/50 mix) instead of Simpsons DRC
- US 05 instead of Belle Saison (I hate saison yeast flavours)
Notes (see photo of recipe)
- Riwaka instead of Wai-iti hops.
- Live yogurt to add lacto. only, couldn't get only Lacto yogurt at Woolies, went with Vaalia (as per photos).
- Suggested water profile: CaCl (110ppm) & CaSO4 (55ppm)
- CO2 purge the fermenter and bubble CO2 through it as it sours to drive off 02.

Notes: use Brewer's Edge. Test Batch
heat 3.5 gallons on stove to 180 - transfer to Igloo cooler before mash
boil strike
3 gal to 162 add grain and stir for no dough balls
set temp to 152 1 hour
Stir grain every 15 min
drain mash by lifting ss bucket in brewer's edge
add cold water til sparge is 170 f to 5 gallon cooler
once 1 gallon collected, collect 1qt or 2 and pour slowly on grain bed.
Sparse by slowly dumping 1qt back on mash
boil 1 hour add hop as scheduled using a hop bag
measured 1.052 @60f 78% eff
add dry hops to fermenter and let cool overnight to ~70f
when cooled to 70F pitch yeast rack after 3 days
Rack to 5 gallon carboy after fermenting slow for 7 to 10 days
when clear and and no fermentation.
transfer bottling bucket. dissolve 5 oz of corn sugar into 16 oz of water. mix in and bottle
feel free to use 1# crystal 10 if you cant get 1 # Munich for 9 # max grain. adjust as need to hit efficiency
Updated had to add 1/4 gallon at rack so i failed to collect enough at sparge. efficiency suffered to 73% when i account for the 1/4 gallon added to secondary
