Notes: the addition of the cocoa powder may have made the beer too bitter. i tried it on day 2 of fermentation and didnt like it, its like bitter dark chocolate. I would add less cocoa powder next time. As a solution, I may add lactose to the finished beer to increase the sweetness. I will keep tasting it and see what happens. Over all however, I think its a good flavor for a mexican chocolate stout.

bitterness faded, but I still think the cocoa added an unwanted edge. I'm adding 1/4 lb of lactose disolved in 2 cups water to the secondary for each 5 gallon.

On 11/22/16 day 11 i racked the beer into the secondary. To one i added 16grams ancho chilies includign seeds, broken apart
6 grams chili de arbol pods, cut open and wit hseeds
1 vailla bean cut open
8g cinnamon sticks broken up
2.2g (1 tbs) nutmeg
and 1/4th lb of lactose dissolved in 2 cups water and boiled

Notes: Brewed Sunday 18th January 2015.
Recipe based on Kelsey McNairs Session IPA with a slightly tweaked grain bill and different hops.
http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/stone-ballast-point-kelsey-mcnair-collaboration-201080/
https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=11610.0

Mashed in with 20L water at strike temp of 78oC. Mash temp of 69oC (target 70oC). Mash pH looks about right from pH strips (perhaps a little more towards 5.2 than 5.5).
Top up with 3L of water at end of the mash to recover 15L of wort
Batch sparge with 2 x 15L water to recover a total volume of 45L for the boil.

Calcium Sulphate (as gypsum): 4g to malt grist and 5g to the boil
Calcium Chloride added to the strike water as 33% solution (not as dihydrate) so scaling / correction factor = 110.98 g/mol (anhydrous) / 147.014 g/mol (dihydrate) * 3 = 2.26. 3.5 x 2.26 = 7.91 mL.
Lactic Acid (88%) added to strike water (5.6 mL) and to sparge water (3.3 mL).

Rehydrated 2 packets US-05 in 2 x 110 mL cooled boiled water at 37oC.
1. Sprinkle yeast onto surface of water in a glass bottle, cover with foil and let stand for 15 mins.
2. Stir yeast with sanitised spoon and let stand for 5 mins.
3. Stir again to form a cream and let stand for 5 mins.
4. Bring down to wort temperature by adding small increments of cooled boiled water.
5. Pitch into beer within 30 mins.

Beer 1 (no clarity ferm / carrier fermentor) 21L at 1.047 (after dilution) yeast pitched at 23oC
Beer 2 yeast (+ clarity ferm / no carrier) pitched at 18oC
Beers fermented in our cellar storage at 15-15.5oC.

Collected 2 samples to run an FFT at ambient in our kitchen (21-25oC).

24/01/15 - FFT results. Beer 1 = 1.014. Beer 2 = 1.013. Did a diacetyl test on each sample and definitely diacetyl after heating the samples and then cooling (repeated 5 days later and much less diacetyl).

25/01/15 (Sun, Day 8) Moved into the boiler room at 21oC for "d-rest" before dry hopping.

28/01/15 (Wed, Day 11) - Dry hops added 34g of each varietal in each beer (so 102g DH in ~20L beer [~5 g/L]). Decided against adding Columbus as planned as the hops just did not smell as good as the others (perhaps a little oxidised as the other packets were all opened fresh for the brewday but the columbus was opened a few brewdays ago). Samples taken for gravity readings. Beer 1 = 1.014. Beer 2 = 1.013. Ran a diacetyl test and a small amount detected.

02/02/15 (Mon, Day 16) - Taken to the attic to crash chill (5 days on DH). Attic temp (1oC).

05/02/15 (Thurs, Day 19) - Kegged both beers in corny kegs that had been CO2 purged by transferring a full keg of Starsan from one keg to another under pressure.

Hydro samples tasted fantastic. Very clear and great hop aroma and low / moderate bitterness. Beer was at 3oC after crash chilling so took a while to warm up.

Kegs hooked up to CO2 and purged again before adding 2 bar (30 psi) pressure.

FG = 1.013 for both beers, so 4.5% ABV.

Notes: 90 minute boil with hops, adjuncts and nutrients as needed. Chill to 64F. Oxygenate slowly through 0.05 micron diffusion for 90 seconds (we’re after 9-10 ppm O2). Ramp primary from 64F to 78F through 7 days. At 1.014 rack off primary yeast to secondary and cool to 55F. Hold for 5 days+ until the FG of 1.013 is reached. Dump yeast a second time, lower temp to 40F and hold for 6 weeks. Bottle using heavy Belgian bottles or Champagne bottles. Prime with 31g/gal Golden Candi Syrup and re-pitch 500ml Westvleteren strain stir-plate. Bottle re-ferment for 14 days at 76F. Cellar for 12 months.

Notes: Mengden meske- og skyllevann du bør bruke kommer an på utstyret og metoden du brygger med. Som et anslag kan vi si at du kan bruke 20 l meskevann og 12,5 l skyllevann til dette ølet. Noen bryggemaskiner (f.eks. Speidel Braumeister) kan kreve større mengder meskevann. Sjekk alltid manualen på utstyret du bruker.

Mesking på 68 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 2-4 dager). Øk deretter til 20 grader og hold resten av gjæringsperioden (totalt 10-14 dager).

Gjæralternativer: WLP002, WLP007, WLP013, WLP037, WLP023, Danstar London ESB, Safale S-04

Notes: A holiday spiced imperial stout based on Sambuca. Looking to get lots of coffee and strong anise flavors. 5 ounces of ground coffee beans will be soaked in 5 ounces of vodka for 24 hours, that liquid will then be strained and put into the secondary
