Notes: Mill the grains. Mash in at 110°F (43°C), rest 10 minutes; raise to 122°F (50°C), rest 15 minutes; raise to 140°F (60°C), rest 15 minutes; raise to 150°F (66°C), rest 20 minutes; then raise to 168°F (76°C) and mash out. (Alternatively, you can do a single-infusion mash at 150°F/66°C for 45 minutes.)
Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 6.5 gallons (25 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Stir for 5 minutes to create a vortex, then add hops and steep 15 minutes. Chill to 55°F (13°C), aerate well, and pitch plenty of healthy yeast. Ferment at 57°F (14°C) for 1 day, then drop to 55°F (13°C). When fermentation is complete and the gravity has been stable for at least 3 days, crash to 32°F (0°C) and lager for 4 weeks, then rack, package, and carbonate.
BREWER’S NOTES
Mash pH: We adjust using a homegrown lactic culture, but you can use food-grade lactic acid and/or brewing salts to keep runoff below 5.6, targeting 5.1–5.2 in the kettle.
Water profile: Our chloride-to-sulfate ratio for this beer is 3:1.
HBC 1134: This is an experimental hop, not yet available on the market. However, its typical alpha acids and floral-spicy-lemon character are not unlike Aramis—or substitute another new hop you want to try.
First brewed 1/26/24. Used 9 lb of German Pilsner malt. Also added more Lorien hops as AA was much lower than expected. Used ph meter for the first time and this showed ph was much higher than planned - 6.1 to start. So added a total of 7 ml of 10% phosphoric acid to the mash. This lowered ph to 5.68 at the start of boil. No other salt or water additions were made.
Followed the step mash, which took a lot longer than single infusion. Would not recommend again. Mashed out at 168 and added 1 gallon of 168 sparge. Pre boil gravity was 1043, which was higher than target.
Added Lorien hops at 90 mins vs first wort by mistake.
Added rest of hops to schedule. Whirlpool was at 173 for 30 mins and I did not use a whirly just did some recirculation with pump.
Cooked to 55 then moved to fermenter and added yeast.
After 1 week gravity was 1017.
Put into keg after 17 days in fermentation. FG was 1011, so higher attenuation than expected.
Largered in fridge for 4 weeks. Then put in CO2. After a week the lager was very drinkable - smooth, light, but not very distinctive. After a 2nd week with CO2 the beer is clear, straw to golden yellow, and pours with a heavy head. The nose is mostly malty and the hops are disappointing- not as much bitterness as I’d like and no distinctive flavor. Beer is very drinkable and thirst quenching, but nothing special. I’d score it a 2.8/5. |

Notes: Trying to work out boil down rate. Its somewhere between 15-25%.
We will start with 60L and boil down for 90 Mins. We want to target a final of 45L.
We ended up with 40L
Need to aim for 65L, lost about 5L per 30 mins plus hop loss. Boil down is 25% for 90 minute boil.
Colour was spot on without crushing the grains, may have been too dark if we did.
Could of gone a bit higher in Mash strike water 2.2L/KG instead of 2. It was a good mash anyway.
KK fucked the grain crush and i think that affected the efficiency.
Notes First Tasting (Ben)
- Beer has a slight hint of scotch ale wee heavy but efficiency really killed it.
- Colour was spot on.
- Recipe was also probably spot on but we just had a problem with the mash efficiency. Its just a little too bitter and Thin. Maybe we needed to mash for longer or the grain crush was fucked, we did have a lot of whole grain that didn't look broken.
- Maybe lower the bitterness, it may have been spot on without the efficiency problem.
- I think if we brew this again we should go for a less neutral high fermenting yeast. Maybe a liquid of US-04.
- We were also flying blind on PH so that could be a problem.

| Notes: This brew batch will be used to make 2 different beer styles - Baltic Porter and a Wee Heavy. At 60 min, the boil will be pulled off into a separate boil pot for the Wee Heavy. The Wee Heavy will have some steeped roasted malt added to increase a roasted character, along with additional DME added to bump up the OG. Different yeast will be used for each beer. |
