Notes: Heated water to 170 - 4.0 gallons went into the cooler and went down 5 degrees as expected. Added 13lbs of grain and temp readings showed readings from 144 to 157. Added more hot water because it was a thick mash and my temp was too low. Probably 5gallons. Generally leveled out at around 146-150. Would have preferred to have it at the 150-154 range and an opportunity to do more stirring down.

40 minutes into mash - stirred. Temps still ranging from 146-150. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Mashed for 70 minutes this time as well.

First run: 3.3 gallons
Second run 4.7 gallons

Notes: I have some honey from Nick Brading that he has collected himself from his own beehives!
I shall let this ferment out for a few days and then add the honey in a secondary, warming the honey before siphoning the partially fermented beer on top of it.
Highish bitterness in case the honey leaves any sweetness.
Clean yeast.

Notes: I brewed this batch with Kopi Luwak (civet) coffee, but any robust coffee will work. Cold brew it to reduce acidity and add it late in the secondary to retain aroma and avoid any astringency.

Notes: This English Extra Special Bitter is characterized by the mashing of a single malt (Best Pale Ale - Heidelberg), followed by the generous hopping of Summit, Cascade, Citra and Sincoe hops. This beer underwent additional late hopping (dry hopping) on the 5th day of fermentation with the Cascade hops. It presents dense and persistent white foam, high carbonation, moderate body, earthy aroma, but not citrus like IPAs, refreshing tropical flavor balanced between malt and hops. Harmonize with strong cheeses like, brie and gorgonzola and with roasts, like Iberian black pig. The high alcohol content, the bitterness of the hops and the high carbonation, help to cut the fat and clean the taste of the side dishes, so that the next bite is as tasty as the first.

Notes: Our first attempt at a low-ABV hoppy American ale, otherwise known as a "session IPA" if you're so inclined. We don't really know if we are. I dunno, something about calling everything an IPA is against some kind of personal moral code. Seriously, this thing is under 50 IBUs and mostly going for an intense aroma without the ABV or bitterness of a typical American IPA. We've all seen recipes for this kind of thing before, and pretty much everyone (and probably their mothers at this point) makes one. Bandwagon riders that we are, we've decided to hop on... about three years too late. So, to make up for that, we're going to use Azacca. Heavily.

Azacca is a new-ish dwarf hop, bred from a Japanese mother (Toyomidori) and American dwarf hop father (ADHA 94/95). It's known for its "new wave" profile that includes intense tropical notes (mango/papaya/pineapple) alongside firm citrus and pine. So, basically, it should be the best of all worlds. In one beer. That clocks in at under 5%. So you can have more of them. Whoever originally came up with this idea is a genius. Also, damn them.

Featuring over a quarter-pound of Azacca from start-to-finish, this beer is bound to explode with tropical fruit, pulpy citrus and light notes of spice and pine.

The recipe is pretty simple. I based a lot of what was chosen for the grain bill and hop additions on the brilliant Mike Tonsmiere's (aka The Mad Fermentationist) recipe for his session IPA, with some tweaks. In his follow-up tasting, Mike said that he wished he'd added some oats for body. Since Pat and I love oats and feel that they are one of the most crucial additions to a modern day hoppy American ale, it's a no-brainer that we added a pound to the grist. The rest is split between regular 2-Row and Vienna (split base malts, for the win?). No caramel malts are needed here; we're focused on hops, not sweetness... and besides, the color is slightly improved by the strong presence of Vienna anyway. For hops, it seems we'll try hop-bursting this time around. Instead of doing traditional hop additions, the entire payload of hops (minus the dry-hop, of course) is added close to the end of the boil. From 20 minutes to the flameout, we'll be adding varying amounts of Azacca every 5 minutes to reach target IBUs and, hopefully, an incredible aroma profile, only boosted by a secondary addition of ~2 ounces after racking.

5/28/16: Just finished boil. 1.048 OG, so slightly higher than target. We're watering it down a tiny bit because we want this to be as close to 4.5% as possible.

6/4/16: Actually updating on 6/7 but we moved this to secondary and got it off the cake on 6/4, adding 2 oz of Azacca as dry-hop. Sample we took to check fermentation was almost exactly 1 point off target FG, so we took it.

6/18/16: Just opened a few bottles to sample. Pretty consistent flavor. Posted a description to FB:

"Azacca Single Hop Session IPA is a go! 4.4%, 44 IBU. Pungent citrus, pine and guava in the nose with a light-bodied malt backbone and firm, balanced bitterness. Palate has orange, white grapefruit, lemon zest and mango with a subtle pine note. Happy with how this one came out and will likely build off of the recipe in the future."

I think the base recipe for this is pretty good and supports a single hop schedule very well. Hop-bursting idea delivered very well. I still think there's something a LITTLE bit off with our dry-hop technique, and it's annoying me... but other than that this is very good stuff.

Notes: This recipe is Vienna Lager style but boosted a little bit in IBU to counter balance the malty side.

Adapt the mash volume with the dead volume of your tun.
I use a Klarstein 50L brewing machine which has 6.5L of dead volume under the tun basket => take it in account for the mash thickness :
Strike water volume at mash thickness of 3 L/kg * 5.15kg + 7L = 22.5L (new mash thickness = 3.7L/kg)

Sparge water = 9.2L
Total water = 31.7L
Lost water (mash)= 3.6L
Lost by evaporation = 4L
Lost in the kettle = 2L
To go in the fermentor = 22.1L

Fermentation at 13°C during 2weeks min.

Step by Step
The traditional Pilsner Urquell utilizes an undermodified Pilsner malt that is malted by the brewery. The mash is subsequently triple decocted to help break down the protein matrix that is still present in the undermodified malts. For three reasons we have decided to change up the classic recipe. First homebrewers don’t often have access to undermodified Pilsner malts these days. Second, a triple decoction means a long and rigorous brew day for the brewer. Finally adding in a protein rest could be detrimental to the beer’s body and head retention. So we’ve simplified the mash procedure and added some malts to help adjust the color and add a slight toasted character that the triple decoction should otherwise add to the beer’s profile.

Mash grains with 15 qts. (14.2 L) soft water at 142 °F (61 °C) and hold for 30 minutes. Perform a decoction, pull 1/3 thick portion of the mash (~1.5 gallons/5.7 L) and bringing to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes being sure not to scorch the grain mix. Stir the decocted portion back into the main mash.

The main mash should now settle at 155 °F (68 °C). Hold for a 30 minute rest.

Mash out, vorlauf, and then sparge at 170 °F (77 °C) to collect enough wort to result in 5 gallons (19 L) after a 90-minute boil. Boil 90 minutes, adding hops at times indicated. Cool, aerate, and pitch yeast.

Ferment at 50 °F (10 °C) until signs of fermentation have slowed considerably. Some diacetyl is noted in Pilsner Urqell, but if there is a strong diacetyl presence at this point, 2-4 days at 65 °F (18 °C) is advised. Rack to secondary and lager for 4-6 weeks at 40 °F (4 °C). After lagering is complete, bottle or keg as usual.
