Notes: To highlight the robust strawberry jamminess of Sundew™ Ale (OYL-401), I built a recipe that would complement the Belgian and berry characteristics. Balancing the acidity and fruity berriness presents the key challenge to pairing Sundew with a fruited kettle sour

Using a basic malt bill of 50-50 wheat and 2-row, I chose to do a protein rest that helped to break down the beta-glucans and long protein chains adding to the body and making the lautering a little bit easier.

The finished product pushed fruit forward on the nose, with a nicely tart finish. The flavor profile highlighted a melding of strawberry puree and lemon zest to accentuate the aromatic berry yeast characteristic. A sure thirst quenching crowd-pleaser.

Recipe:
STATS:
Original Gravity:1.048
Final Gravity:1.015
Starting pH:5.6
Final pH: 3.18
ABV: 4.3
IBU:4.1
SRM:2.8

MALT (five gallon batch):
7 lbs 2-row
6 lbs White wheat

HOPS:
0.25 oz Tettnang (A.A. 4.3) dry hop after lactic acid production

FLAVORING ADDITIONS:
8 oz Vintners Harvest Strawberry Puree
2 lemon peels steeped in 0.5 liter of 212℉ of hot water

MASH:
Protein Rest: 122℉, 35 minutes
Saccharification: 148℉, 45 minutes
Mash Out: 168℉, 10 minutes

Boil for 20 minutes

SEQUENTIAL FERMENTATION:
Knock out at 95°F and allow the lacto to sour for 24 hours. The wort should be sufficiently sour (pH 3.2-3.4), at which point pitch Sundew and dry hop 0.25 oz Tettnang hops. After 1 week (or once fermentation is complete), add strawberry/lemon flavor and leave for an additional 48 hours for refermentation prior to kegging.

YEAST:
OYL-401 Sundew. The temperature range is relatively broad, from 64-78°F. We recommend a slight overpitch or a fresh starter for more berry notes. Sundew will shine at fermentation temperatures in the mid-70s.

LACTIC ACID BACTERIA:
OYL-605 Lacto. Blend of Lactobacillus plantarum and brevis. Sours across a broad temperature range.

Notes: The wort sat in the fermenter without fermentation kicking off due to accidentally putting the yeast in the freezer.

It was originally pitched with White Labs WLP013 London Ale Yeast however was pitched two days later with Fermentis Safale - Englist Ale Yeast.

It was decided to do a second dry hop of 78 grams of Citra on day 5 to do a post fermentation dry hop.

Notes: Note the malt is NZ Gladfield Lager malt, not UK.

Actual OG: 1045; final 1008 and primed with 5g maltodextrin/500ml bottle so actual ABV close to 5%. Fermentation lasted 4 days. Went over 17C a bit but no more than 20C.

Result: Not bad. A bit unbalanced (too hoppy) for such a light body but the flavour of the (superb local) malt still manages to come through. Did bottle 2 x 500ml before the dry hop and thought it tasted better than the main batch.

Notes: My 4th itteration. Very delicious. I add two cans of libbeys pumpkin puree to the mash with some rice hulls. I add the spices to the boil for the last minute and let it steep while I chill the wort.

The IBU's seem high, but magnum hops are very clean and smooth.

Entered in a local homebrew contest. Got 4th place!

If i would change anything would be the nutrients. Yeast didnt ferment as well as it should have

Notes: Brewed 3/7/12 OG 1.078-FG 1.023 ABV 7.205
Primary till 3/29/12 @ 54 degrees
36 hr. diacetyl rest

Secondary till 4/15/12 @ 34 degrees
Raised temp to 70 and kegged with corn sugar and some of the bottom yeast 4/16/12

Primed pressure good on 4/30/12 tapped and gave it a 1 pint bottom blow. Put pressure at 27 psi and started lagering at 34 degrees

5/20/12 Drew a pint to check progress. It taste great right now. Will not touch again till the fall

Will not know how this fully turned out until 9/29/12. I am lagering it <40 degrees till then like a true Oktoberfest.
