Notes: 1600 ml. starter at 1.04
Ferment at 58 to 60 degrees with
Wyeast 2565,62 to 64 degrees with WLP 029
or 65 to 67 degrees with US-05
attenuation better than expected
finished at 1.011 about 5.3 ABV
carbonate 3 weeks at 68-70 degrees
cold condition 1 week in fridge
frothy head,nice lacing
tasty summer beer,easy drinking.
A great beer for the female in your life.
I`ve made this brew 7 times now,and it is a mainstay for my woman.I`ve used US-05
WLP 029 and WYEAST 2565 all with great
results.Used Williamette in place of
saaz and prefer it.Last batch came out
at 6.0 ABV with a modification to my fly sparge setup.Grain bill holds at 11 lbs.
Last batch was with WLP 029,I think Wyeast 2565 was the best of the 3 yeast types that I have used. (just me and swmbo`s thoughts).
Made batch #8 with US-05 on 4-19-13
used 4 Madagascar vanilla beans soaked
in vodka for a week and added to secondary
It added a bit more vanilla flavor.Nice addition for added flavor.Will make this
a regular step in future batches,recipe
has not changed but 2565 rules the brew.
I made batch #9 on 9-22-13.Used original recipe with wyeast 2565, by far the best.
Bottled on 11-1-2013.The only tweak was
adding 12 oz clover honey at flameout.The
Vanilla beans in secondary are the bomb.
Recipe will not change from here on out.
This batch started at 1.057 and finished at 1.01 - 5.51 ABV.It is exactly where I Want it. SWMBO and my friends love it.I like it alot too but I am more of a stout
porter guy.I hope you like it and have good luck with it if you try it. -enjoy-
12-8-2013 Vanilla flavor has mellowed
nicely,lacing last`s till the end of the glass.Very pleased with this batch.
Batch #10 1-23-2015 recipe has not changed
will be bottling in about a week or so.
This brew is our house brew all year,it`s
one for the ladies.Will be ready for St.
Paddy`s day.
batch #10 is long gone.Finally retired and will be moving to Florida in 2 weeks.I will update next batch when I brew in in the heat for the first time,Goodbye Chicago.I hope you enjoy the recipe.-Will be back to brewing soon.
-Cheers-

Original Gravity: 1.072
Final Gravity: 1.011
Extract Efficiency: 75 percent
IBUs: 90-95 (actual/not calculated)
ABV: 8.2%
SRM: 7
Directions:
Mash grains at 151-152° F (66-67° C) for an hour or until starch conversion is complete.

and bring to a boil. Add hops as indicated in the recipe. After a 90 minute boil, chill wort
URL: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/attachments/0000/6351/doubleIPA.pdf
to 67° F (19° C) and transfer to fermenter. Pitch two packages of yeast or a yeast starter
and aerate well. Ferment at 67° F (19° C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack
to secondary. Add first set of dry hops on top of the racked beer and age 7-9 days, then
add the second set. Age five more days then bottle or keg the beer.
Extract Substitution:
Substitute 6.5 lb (3.0 kg) of light dry malt extract for two-row malt. Due to the large
hop bill for this recipe, a full wort boil is recommended. Steep grains in 1 gallon (3.8 L)
of water at 165° F (74° C) for 30 minutes, then remove and rinse grains with hot water.
Stir in dextrose and top up kettle to 8 gallons (30 L), and bring to a boil. Add hops as
indicated in the recipe. After a 90 minute boil, chill wort to 67° F (19° C) and transfer to
fermenter. Pitch two packages of yeast or a yeast starter and aerate well. Ferment at 67°
F (19° C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack to secondary. Add first set of dry
hops on top of the racked beer and age 7-9 days then add the second set. Age five more
days then bottle or keg the beer

Notes:
pitch 1600 ml starter at 68 degrees
Mash in the 152 to 154 range for a bit
of body.You do not want the beer to thin.
I`ve made this brew 6 times.Last batch
was Mar 6 2014.If you have ever tried this
brew from wisconsin,(New Glarus) brewery
this recipe comes close to what
Spotted Cow is all about.They claim it
is a Farmhouse Ale but do not use Saison yeast.
After extensive research this is what I
I came up with for a recipe.The are
secretive about the yeast they use,but
the consensus is,it is a Kolsch yeast
either Wyeast 2565 or WLP 029 and I
think it is 029.My preference is 2565.
Wyeast 2565 is my house yeast.
Ferment at 58-60 degrees with Wyeast 2565
or 62-65 with WLP 029
I`ve had good compliments on this brew
from others.I live on the Wisconsin
border and they don`t sell it in Illinois,
for some reason they will not ship it to
this state.Will update as needed but for
now this recipe is a pretty solid clone.
I made 11 gals (2 batches) in march 2014
I cant keep it in the house fast enough.
SWMBO and her friends love it.With the
temps soaring in Chicago this is a great
brew for summer.From kettle to glass is
about 5 weeks so turnover is quick.
Good luck if you try it,shouldn`t be
disappointed.
Made batch 7 (5 gal) on 6-14-14 and used
Mt.Hood for flavoring (.5) and aroma (.5)
I think the domestic hops are closer to
the original flavor. -enjoy-
Made batch #8 2-28-2015 no changes should be ready to drink mid April

dissolve cocoa powder with 5 oz corn sugar
in 1 qt hot water to make syrup.Add syrup
45 minutes into the boil.
2-3 vanilla beans soaked for a week
in rum added to secondary.
This beer finished at 1.020 due to the
unfermentables and high mash temp.
The F.G was 5.0 a bit lower than
expected.Efficiency was way off.
In my 14 years of brewing this is my
personal favorite beer.
Head retention and lacing last to the
bottom of the glass.
Batch #2 finished at 1.015 and shows
in final ABV.This is where I want this
beer to finish,it is more to the style.
Brewhouse efficiency was around 62% in first batch.Batch #2 was 73% which is
about right for my system.
ABV 5.70 nice winter beer with some
alcohol warmth.First batch was thin.
Chewy,nice chocolate-coffee flavors
with a touch of vanilla.
I`ve made 4 batch`s of this and found
that this last batch from 1-2-14 has hit
it`s peak after 4 months.
The longer it ages the better it gets.
Batch 3 and 4 I made this year (2014)
Jan. and April.I`ve got it dialed in
at 5.70 ABV and recipe is solid at 70%
efficiency.If you try this recipe I hope
you have good luck with it.The rum and vanilla beans are what make this standout
for the final taste and richness.I would
recommend to age at least 2 months.
Great Holiday brew - enjoy-

Notes: All grains and pumpkin go in the mash. If the pumpkin is in the boil you will most likely lose a gallon of water, and have a tough time straining the pumpkin out.
If you really want to put the pumpkin into the boil then you should use a grain bag or filter the wort before racking to your primary.
The pumpkin should be cleaned and cut into small cubes and baked for 45 mins at 350, then mashed and coated with honey. Then baked for another 45 mins at 350. Let it cool to 154 and add to mash.
For the vanilla bean vodka solution, two vanilla beans are cut in half. The seeds and goodies are then scraped into 4oz of vodka. Let the vodka sit for two weeks. |

Noen bryggemaskiner (f.eks. Speidel Braumeister) kan kreve større mengder meskevann. Sjekk alltid manualen på utstyret du bruker.
Mesking på 66 grader i 60 min. Utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min hvis du har mulighet til å øke temperatur i mesken.
Kjøl ned til 17 grader før pitching av gjær.
Gjæring på 18 grader til stormgjæring begynner å avta (typisk etter 3-5 dager). Øk deretter til 20 grader og hold resten av gjæringsperioden (totalt 14 dager).

Notes: For a twist mash at 160F (mashing at this temp will make the beer a little sweeter and will balance out the tartness of the lime). Take two limes, juice them, then cut the juiced limes so they will fit in the secondary. Add both the juice and cut limes into the secondary. Let that sit for about 2 weeks with the dry hops. |

Notes: Double Decoction:
*Note: Pilsner Urquell uses a triple decoction method with an initial acid rest, but I use well enough modified malts and correct for pH already so the first of three decoctions is unnecessary. The decoction measurements below are ones I developed for an electric system and err on the side of caution, so they are the lower amounts needed to potentially reach the next temperature step and direct heat can be applied to compensate.*
Perform a protein rest at 125F for 15min, then pull off slightly less than 1/3 (1.16gal/4.4L) of the thickest mash and place it in a separate pot. Bring the pot slowly up to 158F and hold for 15min, then slowly bring it up to a boil and proceed to boil for 10min. Stir often so the grains do not burn, but try to allow some 'browning' to help darken the colour and enhance the flavour/aroma profiles. Add the decoction back to the 125F mash, little by little, aiming for a beta rest temperature of 148F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. After this has finished, pull off roughly 1/6 (0.7gal/2.6L) of the thickest mash a second time and place it in the separate pot. Slowly bring the pot up to a boil and continue to boil for 10min. Add the second decoction back to the mash, little by little, aiming for an alpha rest temperature of 158F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. Once this rest has finished, raise the temperature up to a mash out rest of 167F and hold for 10min. After the decoctions and mash out are finished proceed to sparge/lauter as usual.
No Decoction:
Instead of the labour intensive double decoction mash schedule you could:
- Substitute some of the pilsner malt for vienna and/or munich to add colour and depth.
- Include some melanoidin malt for a slight decoction 'feel'.
- Add some carapils malt (or your preferred alternative) for improved head retention.
- After which, just carry out a temperature/infusion mash schedule based on your preferences.
**This beer won a national silver medal at the Saskatoon Headhunters Competition (2017) and has consistently scored 40's at other national competitions.
***With the regular 3.5%AA Saaz the hop additions are 1.5oz @ 90min, 2oz @ 20min, 1oz @ 10min, 1oz @ 0min. |
