Notes: Prior to pitching- wort was sweet (duh!), and the mouthfeel suitable. The smell was very tropical due to the low bittering hop schedule; Azaaca and Pekko hops reminded me of everything from mango, cucumber and mint. Used a 1 liter starter w/o stir plate (2 days prior to pitching). extremely bright yellow color, reminiscent of a banana peel. OG= 1.050. Fermentation is occurring at ambient room temperature, which during this time of year is between 74-76. A little on the high side for this yeast, but we'll see what happens.
Day 3 - high-krausen has subsided, but the yeast has produced enough CO2 that the sample I pulled was slightly carbonated. Gravity reading = 1.012 (4.99% ABV). At this point, I believe primary fermentation is suitably completed. Tasting notes- excellent mouthfeel; mild, creamy body. Taste like a tropical hefeweizen- subdue notes of banana and clove, but the taste from the boil addition of orange peel and grapefruit peel are present on the back end. I am resisting the temptation of pulling the beer out of primary and putting into secondary. I will leave the beer on the wort until day 7. Will pull a new gravity reading at day 5. Deciding on whether or not to use fining agents to make the beer clearer, like a kristalweizen, or to keep the traditional wheat haze present. Very pleased with the choice of yeast.
Day 5 - gravity has fallen to 1.006 (5.78% ABV). Evidently, I was clearly wrong about fermentation being done on day 3. Will monitor for atleast another 2 days to see if the gravity stabilizes. If it is stable on day 7, I will make to secondary on day 10 or 11. I don't want to rush this beer, but I am eager to pour a glass of it. The honey addition at flameout is now present. Still has the notes of orange peel and grapefruit peel, put I have to pull deep to tate any of the banana or clove characteristic. It is a bit sweeter on the pallet than I am used to tasting, but I have never brewed a beer with such a low IBU. The mouthfeel is still creamy and pleasant.

Notes: Wild yeast to start (promoted by adding organic dried fruits to wort). After a week add Belgian yeast. After another week, transfer to secondary with wine oak with lots of brett strains + pedio. Leave there for a year |

Notes: Going to try introducing 3 things: 1) first wort hopping, 2) waiting longer in primary before dry hopping 3) using a secondary vessel.
Recipe adjustments: More bittering. VERY late addition hops. Ease off on the Amarillo tiger.
I want to make a super clear but pungent IPA of the style we enjoy in San Diego. Simple malt bill, clean bittering, and all late addition hops of Centennial for flavor, and Amarillo for the nose.
Steps:
- Brew beer & ferment.
- Wait 2 more weeks
- Transfer to secondary & dry hop.
- Wait 3 days
- Dry hop again
- Wait 3 days
- Keg & add gelatin.
- Carb up the keg
==== 2/8/14 ====
- Well, here goes again. This time I did 13lb 2-row, 1lb Carapils, 1lb C10.
- Got some belgian 550 to mix it up and do a belgian ipa.
- Going to ferment at 66º then raise it to 68º after the first couple weeks.
- Going to wait 3 full weeks before transfering to secondary and dry hopping.
- Using all fresh hops from the store (not from my freezer) and not going to freeze them. Just putting them in the fridge.
- Also trying first wart hopping.
- Also bumped the boil from 60 to 90.
- OG: 1.065 (hydro reading. Dead on)
- Blunder: I did mix up my final hops. So I added 1oz Cent and 1oz Amarillo at the 5min mark, then 1 oz Amarillo at the 0 min mark. |
