Notes: This is a complete guess as to what the recipe might be for Obama's White House Honey Ale that is getting so much press lately.

DO NOT BREW THIS VERSION!!!!

Now that the White House released the recipe, this one has been renamed to (original guess). The real recipe is here, named White House Honey Ale (Official Recipe).

Notes: Dry hop at 14 degrees for 5 days post FG.

"To get the best possible profile from the dry hops we recommend dry hopping post fermentation for 5 days. Dry hops should be added at cellar temperature. We find 14°C results in the most aromatic dry hop
profile."

Notes: Adding Whisky Barrel Chips

Whisky Barrel Chips must be sanitized by boiling in 1 cup of water for 5 minutes. After your chips have been sanitized, add to them to sanitized jar with bourbon and vanilla bean while beer is in primary. Before adding to secondary, remove liquid bourbon adding just the chips and bean to secondary. You may add fresh bourbon to secondary for flavor. Firmly secure your airlock on to your fermenter. Leave your beer in contact with these chips for 2 to 3 weeks. On bottling day carefully siphon your beer away from the chips and into your bottling bucket. If you do not use a secondary fermenter, then add the chips to your primary after fermentation has completed and leave for the recommended contact time.

Notes: Mash & steeping: The mash is acidified to a pH of 5.4 with phosphoric acid.

I'm assuming low efficiency because I use most of the second runnings either for another brew or for starters (and it's easier to control; i.e., stop sparging at the right point).

Between 15 and 17 gravity points should come from the table sugar and the rest from the malt, regardless of the actual percentages (i.e., the gravity without the sugar should be around 1.074). Different proportions will yield different final gravities. This proportion gets me the closest to the desired FG (~1.013 down from ~1.090), with this mash schedule.

Sugar: The dark sugar I use is made from the reaction of glucose with a specific amino-acid combination at high temperature and controlled pH. It is made in very small but super concentrated batches to avoid over-pyrolising the sugars. Colour is approximate. One could use a part dark candi syrup and a part sucrose (matching the colour) to get similar results.

Fermentation & conditioning: Pitching rate is possibly between 0.5 Mc/ml/°P and 0.75 Mc/ml/°P but not sure exactly (I've established it empirically based on how I grow my yeast, and I know that this yeast can take it, but other yeasts produce bad alcohols at this same pitching rate). Pitched between 18°C and 20°C in a well oxygenated wort. It is allowed to rise to up to ~21°C in the first 24 hours and up to ~24°C in the next 24 hours. After that it can rise up to 28°C with no problem. It is held at peak temperature for a few days until primary fermentation is almost complete. Then it is cooled down slowly for a couple of days and transferred to secondary and conditioned cool for ~6 weeks.
Then it is bottled with fresh yeast and conditioned warm for the first couple of weeks. Ready to drink after a few weeks in the bottle.

Notes on WLP005 Yeast:

Bottom fermenting ale yeast. White Labs recommends keeping in primary until fermentation is complete. Known as "ringwood". Esters and Fusel Alcohol noticeable. Best at 68 F. Over will increase ester and fusel alcohol notes. 7-10 fermentation. Serve-able within 2 weeks.

Ideas for V4
- Longer Mash , 90 min. Temp swing will spend more time in lower 150's, upper 140's. More fermentable sugars = dryer finish. Full bodied porter with dry (non-sticky) finish would be tasty)

Changes from V3 to V3.1 (Gordon Strong suggestions)
- Crystal 60 up to 1 lb
- Brown down to .5 lb
- Infusion Mash at 151
- Ferment at 62, move it to 68 to finish, will make for a very clean profile

Changes from V2:
- Slightly expanded grain bill. Attempting to reduce some of the roasted-coffee qualities.
- Different hop profile to lower IBU's, balance porter more in favor of malt.
- Change over to Vanilla Extract for better vanilla flavor control
- Changing Cinnamon/Vanilla addition to Primary to increase presence

Changes from V1:
- Focused grain bill
- Removal of Roasted Barley in favor of Flaked Oats for less dryness, more silkiness
- Addition of Carapils for body
- Focused Hop bill - change to Northern Brewer for cleaner bittering
- Original Yeast blend was a limited offering. Change to British Ale Yeast WLP005

Notes: - Tasting notes: Color is perfect. Clarity (whirlfloc + gel) really helped. Lacing and head are spot on. The bittering could come up a tick (from 60 to 70 perhaps.) Amarillo feels pretty orang'y and almost mellow! Maybe try the same recipe but swap some of the Amarillo for Cascade or event Centennial (more aggressively citrus'y.) I think using two "aroma" hops isn't enough. Something heavy hitting like Simcoe, Centennial, etc is needed for the heavy, hoppy backbone...

Now to try Centennial instead of Citra and make the adjustments mentioned above: http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/91377/hopstand-ipa-v4-centennial-amarillo

Notes: Original recipe earned a Silver Certificate at the 2016 National Homebrewing Competition (37 points, one short of Gold), in spite of low carbonation.

1st place 2020 Amador County Fair.

Variations to consider:

Malt: Use only Munich for base malt (no Vienna) or replace Vienna with Pilsner. Use some midnight wheat (replace some carafa). Small amount of or caravienne or even smaller amount of melanoidin.

Hops: Additional flavor hops.

Yeast: WLP 833, Wyeast 2308, or Saflager S-23 or W34/70.
