Notes: in high gravity lagered beers, yeast population, strength, and alcohol tolerance is a important factor. add yeast nutrient to the first starter step, continue all 3 steps, or more if necessary to exceed the prescribed cell count. Add servomyces yeast nutrient 15 min. before flame out. This thickens cell walls and makes a more effective fermentation, usually exceeding expectations.

Notes: 1. In a large brew pot, boil 3 gallons of water.

2. With the pot removed from the burner, add 3.5 lbs honey. Make sure to stir the water so the honey dissolves completely and doesn’t burn on the botttom of the pot. When the honey fully dissolved, return the pot to the burner.

3. As the liquid starts boiling again, add 1 0z Cascade pellet hops and boil for 60 minutes. After 15 minutes add ½ oz Centennial hops, After 15 more minutes add ½ oz Citra hops. After 15 more minutes add the other ½ oz Centennial hops. with 5 minutes left in the boil, add the other ½ oz Citra hops. (it helps to contain the hops in individual muslin bags)

4. At the end of the boil, remove the pot from the burner and let cool to about 90 degrees fahrenheit. Remove the hop bags and dissolve the remaining 3.5 lbs of honey

5. Add the must to a 3 gallon primary fermenter, aerate, and pitch the yeast.

6. Seal fermentor with airlock and store in a dark place at a temperature of about 70 degrees.

7. After 2 weeks, with a siphon, re-rack the mead into a sanitized 3 gallon carboy.

8. Add the cascade leaf hops in a muslin bag to the secondary.

9. After 2 weeks, re-rack, then let age for 4 months.

10. Dissolve the corn sugar in 1 cup warm water and add to carboy.

11. Fill sanitized bottles and let age for at least 2 months.

Notes: This is a "shell" recipe I use as a reminder/copied template for the typical stepped mash profiles used with the Speidel Braumeister and the effect on final product. Also useful for Grainfathers or any other programmable stepped mash system.

44 (30-52) 0-20 min.
Beta Gluconase - DO NOT SKIP for wheat beers or if many (20%) adjuncts (oats, rye, raw barley, wheat). Beta glucan can otherwise turn wort to jelly. Also, necessary if classic European malts with only moderate modification. If actually trying to use this step to lower pH >>>30 minutes.
-Deactivated at 50C

52 (50-55) 20 min.
Protease - Breaks up large proteins, decreased haze. Smaller proteins good for head and body. Many modern malts have this step completed during the malting, do not skip with very traditional old style malts. However, can also result in the loss of characteristics from modern malts where a specific protein profile is created by the malter for head retention, mouthfeel, etc ...
Peptidase - Produces free amino nitrogen, FAN can help fermentation, too much can produce off flavors. Often deactivated with kilning.
-Deactivated at 66C/72C

58 (55-60) rare step
Limit Dextrinase - For dry dry lagers, this enzyme is one reason for classic two step mashed Lagers. Will breakdown sugars not manageable by Beta and Alpha. Will remove much of the body from Dextrin malts.
-Deactivated at 60C

63 (60-65) 20-40 min.
Beta Amylase - Produces maltose. Long here means highly fermentable sugars, therefore dryer beer. Some malts with dextrin can add body even when long maltose stage is used: Carapils, DextraPils.
Low 60-61C, and long 40 min all fermentable wort resulting in dryer beer.
Higher 65C, and shorter 20 min for full body beers where many non-fermentable sugars remain in the wort.
-Deactivated at 72C

72 (68-72) 35 min.
Alpha Amylase - Produces a variety of sugars, including maltose and some unfermentable sugars.
Low for light all fermentable - 69.
Higher for full body unfermentable - 72 (increasing deactivation of Beta)
-Deactivated at 79C

Mash out 78C no more than 10 min, if sparge, no higher than 78C or risk bitterness from tannin extraction.

SINGLE TEMP WINDOW for my "SMaSTaSH" trials : 64-70
Single Malt @ Single Temp & Single Hop

Copy paste from web in Fahrenheit for non SI folks:
* Phytase (86-126 F) – Lowers the pH of the mash. Lowering the mash pH has a number of benefits, though a Phytase rest is rarely used by modern brewers.
* Debranching (95-112 F) – Helps to increase the solubility of starches resulting in increased extraction for certain malts.
* Beta Glucanese (95-113F) – Breaks down the gummy heavy starches, which can help improve stability and extraction, particularly for mashes high in proteins and adjuncts such as wheat.
* Pepidase (113-131F) – Produces free amino nitrogen, which can aid in fermentation.
* Beta Amylase (131-150F) – Produces maltose, the main sugar fermented in beer.
* Alpha Amylase (154-162F) – Produces a variety of sugars, including maltose and also some unfermentable sugars. Mashing at the higher end of this range produces more unfermentables and therefore more body in the finished beer.
