Strike with 9 gallons at 160 to hit 147. Raise through Herms to 155 after 45 minutes. Verify Mash PH is 5.2. Adjust if necessary with lactic acid. Sparge with 11 gallons at 165-170
Safeale 04 (wyeast 007) fermented out three generations in. Yeast has a good clean ale flavor. Made a 2 liter starter two days before brew day 1-21-12.
Pitch yeast at 64 and hold for 3-4 days. Add 1vl for 2min of pure 02 prior to pitching. Raise to 70 degrees after a few days to clear diactyle. Yeast should be a dry english ale yeast or california ale yeast strain.
Sorachi Ace is dryhopped near the end of primary fermentation.

Notes: Im trying to brew a a hazy think Milkshake/smoothie ipa with a similar body to "the Brewing Projekt's Resist" if anyone has had that in the northwest part of WI near the twin cities. Its very a thick like beer. Almost like the ten-fidy version of a NEIPA (if that makes sense). I am going off of a recipe i brewed before. It was a Strawberry Milkshake IPA but it wasn't as thick and heavy bodied as I'm shooting for. So I've tried to bulk up the oats and added some flaked wheat as well to try and thicken it up. Let me know if this recipe will be good as its my first to start adding and changing malts and hops. Any and all feedback is appreciated. this is all still new to me in the recipe design world.

Notes: Start fermentation cool at about 50°F (10°C), and hold there for the first forty-eight hours.
For every day thereafter, increase your temperature by 1°F (about 0.5°C) for ten days.
After it’s been in the fermentor for twelve days, it should be at a steady 60°F (15.5°C). Activity in the airlock should be low (but not absent).
At that point, I let that sucker free rise to the warmest temperature I can find in my brewery. Why? To ensure that my yeast goes back and does a healthy diacetyl cleanup and scrounges up all remaining fermentable sugars. I give the beer an additional nine days (now we’re at three weeks in the fermentor)
Then cold-crash to near-freezing to begin the clearing process. |

1st dry hop at 3 days into fermentation for 5 days.
2nd dry hop addition 3 days after that for 5 days or until conditioned and ready to keg.
Tasting Notes: Juicy! hazy AF! Tropical aromas of ripe apricots, orange, and pineapple. Pithy, danky, nice spark of bitterness. Will brew this again as it's going fast! |
