Notes: - 90 minute mash @154F
- batch sparge
- 90 minute boil
- aerate well before pitching @68F
- ferment at 70F for 17-21 days
- rack to secondary and let condition at 70F for 3 more weeks
- 1 packet of Safale Blue (04) for bottle priming since the yeast will be pretty spent after chewing through all of this.
- bottle condition for several months, enjoy!

Notes: Plan to pitch 2 packs of rehydrated SAFALE WB-06. Chosen for the style, and ability to ferment at my ideal temp range of 70-74. I want to get the banana esters typical of a good German Hefe Weisen.
Expect to ferment 4-7 days in primary.
Will monitor gravity starting day 4, when it stabilizes at 1.008 (corrected) or less, will cold crash for 2-3 days.
Expect to bottle 5 gallons after boil off, cooling, trub loss, fermenter loss, bottling losses.
Bottle condition. Boil 0.6 cup honey in 1.5 cups water and put in bottling bucket xfering beer from fermenter. |

Notes: Crushed whole coffee beans in blender for a couple seconds while shaking blender (.75 pounds dark sumatra)... mostly intact beans in the keg.
Dropped in keg in muslin bag, left in cold keg for 36 hours. Tastes phenomenal - the slightest bit bitter from hops (not the coffee) with a huge coffee flavor, smells like a cold brew coffee.
Left this with very little carb... set to 8 psi and left it there and it is perfect.
would start drinking this in the morning and go all day!
One of my best liquids to date. |

Notes: Mash at 154 °F (68 °C). Boil for 60 minutes. Ferment with neutral ale yeast at 75 °F (24 °C), then rack to barrel and add sour blend. Aging time is totally up to the barrel. This is where years of tasting and blending come in handy. If you want to blend, try ~ 20% of a sweeter (younger) barrel, ~30% of a nice mild sour barrel and ~50% of a well established “tour gripper” with nice oak notes (cherries, horse blanket, etc). (Young usually means ~ 1 year, mid range ~2 years and grippers are 3+ years.) But there are no rules here. Do whatever works for you.
Don’t have the budget (or room) for a barrel? Try this “poor man’s” method of emulating some of the aspects of barrel aging. Conduct your primary fermentation in a bucket or ferment the beer with ale yeast, then rack it to a bucket — adding any “bugs” that may be called for. Buckets are more permeable to oxygen than barrels are, so let the beer condition in the bucket for only about 3 months, then rack it to a carboy for the remaining conditioning time. Two weeks before racking, take 3.0 oz. (85 g) of oak cubes (French oak, medium toast) and soak them in wine. Use Chardonnay for the Temptation clone, Pinot Noir for La Roja, Cabernet Sauvignon for Darth Porter and Burgundy or Meritage for Grand Cru and La Folie. Change wine every 3 days to lessen the intensity of the new oak. Add cubes when beer is racked to carboy. |

Notes: After 8 days of primary fermentation did a diacetyl rest for 2 days at 65 degrees. Rack to secondary on top of thawed frozen blueberries and left for 10 days. Removed blueberries and slowly dropped to lagering temps. Lagered at 38 degrees for 4 weeks.
The .5oz of extract at bottling really makes the blueberry aroma come out in the beer. A clean lager with nice smooth not too sweet blueberry flavor. Hops are pretty interchangeable as the blueberry gives most of the flavor and aroma. |
