| Notes: Brewed 1/5/2014. Strike water was 168F and I over shot to about 153F. Recirculated about 15 gal of the mash which brought it down to 151F. Decided I should top off with a quart of cold water which brought it down to 147F. Then added a pint of boiling water which made it 148F. Next time maybe I should shoot for 149? pH was actually 5.0 which I think it way too low. I ended up adding .2 grams of pickling lime about 30min in to see if I could bump it up a bit. pH sample from about 50min put the mash at 5.15. Boil kettle efficiency was 1.047 which puts the efficiency at 89%. Hit 1.058 on the nose but I probably got about 6 gallons. Forgot to put the 0 min hop addition in so I might DH with that. I was worried about not getting enough volume from the 90min boil so I turned it down at about 20min. I probably ended up with about level with the false bottom left in the kettle so there was a bit left over so 8.75 or 9gal is probably right on for a 90min boil. Pitching temp was about 68F. 1/6/14 temp was about 67F so I decided to put an aquarium heater in the bath to bump up the temp. 1/6/14 evening temp was holding at 70F and I turned off the heater mid-day. 1/7/14 turned on the aquarium heater in the morning and bumped it up to 72F. 1/8/2014 kicked the heat up to 74F, stepped it up to 76F in the evening cuz fermentation is slowing a bit. 1/9/2013 kicked it up to 78F, will probably leave it there for about a week. I am considering dry hopping for about 7 days also. Took a gravity reading on 1/20 and it was about 1.009. Thinking I will probably leave it for another week in primary and I also dry hopped it today. 1/24/14 took out of swamp bath at 78F and biofined with 2 tbs of biofine. Kegged 1/27/14. Should force card to about 2.4 volumes of C02. Beer was different than the one I made before. In the future I will probably stick with Belgian Pilsner for the base. |

Brouwerij De Koninck NV
(5 gallons/19 L all-grain)
OG = 1.053 FG = 1.013
IBU = 27 SRM = 13 ABV = 5.2%
Ingredients
7 lbs. (3.2 kg) Pilsner malt
2.5 lbs. (1.13 kg) Vienna malt
8 oz. (0.23 kg) aromatic malt
12 oz. (0.34 kg) Belgian Caramel Munich malt (60 °L)
8 oz. (0.23 kg) Belgian Caramel Vienna malt (20 °L)
4 oz. (113 g) Belgian Special B malt
4.5 AAU Saaz hops (60 min.) (1.5 oz./43 g at 3% alpha acids)
2 AAU Saaz hops (30 min.) (0.66 oz./19 g at 3% alpha acids)
3 AAU Saaz hops (15 min.) (1 oz./28 g at 3% alpha acids)
Belgian ale yeast slurry (White Labs WLP515 or Wyeast 3655 is preferred)
1 cup corn sugar (if priming)
Step by Step
Mash at 152 °F (67 °C) for 90 minutes. Runoff and sparge with enough water at 170 °F (77 °C) to collect 7 gallons (26.5 L). Bring to a boil and boil for a total of 90 minutes adding hops according to the ingredients list. Remove from heat, there should be 5.25 gallons (20 L). Cool to 70 °F (21 °C), and pitch yeast. Allow temperature to free rise during active fermentation, but don’t allow the fermentation temperature to exceed 80 °F (27 °C). Rack to secondary and condition cool (50 °F/10 °C) for two to four weeks. Prime and bottle or keg and force carbonate. Serve at 50 °F (10 °C) in a “bolleke.” |

Notes: - Brewed on 11/10/18
- Heated strike water to 164F, doughed in and quickly settled at 153F mash temp
- Expecting mash efficiency of 76% which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.053. Took many samples inside which ranged from 12.7 to 13.1 (but hit 13.1 multiple times).
- Added brewing salts and lactic acid to the strike water prior to doughing-in
- Initial PH was X.X vs. 5.41 expected. PH meter still not calibrated correctly. So assuming expected mash PH was reached.
- Put honey into brew kettle at 130-140 degrees. Expecting honey to add ~4 gravity points so 1.057 then expecting boil to reduce down to 1.074 original gravity. Used 1 pound instead of 1.5 because I thought I was at 1.055 before honey addition instead of 1.053 expected and the 1 pound still added 4 points so 1.059. Turns out was only at 1.053 so prolly added 3 points getting me to 1.056.
- Ginger goes in at 60 minutes during the boil (in hop spider)
- Cinnamon goes in at 60 minutes during the boil (in hop spider)
- Original gravity was 16.2 plato which converts to 1.066. 10.75 gallons was left in the kettle after boil. 10.5 made it into fermenters. Expected the boil off to contribute more points. Something with the numbers when wrong and not sure where. Took multiple readings for OG and it consistently was ~16 plato. **Figured it out. Boil off and gravity point contributions vary depending on wort volumes. I based my assumptions off 5 gallon batches for this 10 gallon batch. Should have targeted a higher pre boil gravity (~1.064 to try and hit 1.074 original gravity).
- Packaged on 11/25. FG was 1.014 at 69F, which converts to 1.015 which implies 75% attenuation (which is what I expected) vs. 69% avg attenuation for the yeast.
- This beer scored a 39.5 and finished second in its category in the Square Kegs Winterbrew 2019 competition.

Notes: I'm sourcing raspberries from the farmers market. I spoke to a vendor while designing this recipe to confirm that I could purchase fruit that was picked the same day I pitch it in secondary.
Ferment in a plastic bucket. After initial fermentation has died down, crush berries using a sanitized potato masher and bowl, pasteurize by heating to 150-180F for 15min, cool & stir in pectic enzyme, wrap solids in cheese cloth, then pitch into same fermenter.
I'm aiming for a light, malty ale that complements the raspberries. To that end, I decided to brew a gose base for the wheat and pH. I chose Omega Sundew yeast because it offers red fruit esters without the spicy phenols found with other traditional wheat ale yeasts.
Rather than mess with microbial cultures, I'm attempting to achieve a lower pH only with acidulated malt and acid from the raspberries. I want the final beer to have a pH around 4.0, not sour by any means, but a good amount of tartness. After the raspberries finish fermenting, if the pH is too high or the acid isn't perceptible, I'll add additional malic acid when racking off the fruit.
## Version 1
### Fermentables
- 1.75lb Weyermann - Pilsner malt
- 1.75lb Weyermann - Pale Wheat malt
- 0.50lb Weyermann - Acidulated malt
- 4oz Rice hulls (added to second half of mash)
- 1.50lb Raspberries (added to secondary)
### Hop Schedule
- Mash 60min - 0.5oz Tettnanger 3.9AA
- Boil 45min - 5g Tettnanger 3.9AA
### Mash/boil schedule
- Single infusion of 3gal, hold @ 153F for 60min
- Fly sparge with 1.3gal boiling water to target 3.5gal preboil
- Boil 45min to target 2.75gal
