Notes: Based on what Vinnie divulged, this is how I'd go about banging out a 5 gallon batch (don't think you'd want 10 gallons of this, hehe...) basing it on the requirements for an Oud Bruin...
Size: 6.0 gal
Efficiency: 80.0%
Original Gravity: 1.063 (1.040 - 1.074)
Terminal Gravity: 1.013 (1.008 - 1.012)
Color: 21.51 (15.0 - 22.0)
Alcohol: 6.58% (4.0% - 8.0%)
Bitterness: 22.1 (20.0 - 25.0)
Ingredients:
11.0 lb American 2-row
1.0 lb Caramel Malt 40L
1.5 lb Vienna Malt
0.5 lb Carafa Special® TYPE III
1.0 oz Perle (8.2%) - added during boil, boiled 45.0 min
Of course, add your whirlfloc and yeast nutrient. (This isn't an overly thick beer, we'd want to dry this out as much as possible.)
Nice starter of White Labs WLP530 Abbey Ale, or pitch at least two vials, and aerate the crap out of it. Hit it with O2 if you have a tank/diffusion stone.
Give it about 3 weeks in primary, keeping it above 70 degrees for the yeasties to do their thing. Rack when it hits 1.012.
Here's where I get fuzzy. Vinnie says that when this comes off to secondary, he removes the yeast. I'm assuming he's doing that by pasteurization? Either way, I doubt it'd ruin the beer if it's just racked as you normally would.
You'll need a bigger carboy than 5 gallons, to accommodate the cherries, so grab yourself a 6.5 gallon one.
Into secondary, dump a package of Brett, and give it another couple of weeks.
Into secondary, dump 2.0 lb mashed cherries, as well as a package of Belgian Sour Mix 1. For a full effect, soak 1oz of oak chips in some pinot, and add those to the secondary as well. Let that chill for 2-3 months.
Rack to a keg, stash for 6 months before carbing.
Hugely labour intensive beer, and man, if I tapped that keg after a year or so and it tasted like arse, I wouldn't be a happy bunny! |

Notes: First attempt at high gravity brew.
Lucked out and found dry lager yeast at Muskedines.
BeerSmith article notes that high gravity beers require attention to:
-Water required vs mash tun capacity - check
-Yeast (osmotic) shock from high OG requires dry yeast to be hydrated with wort (preferably) before the pitch -
-High OG beers take much longer to ferment, like two months or more - |

Notes: Brewed on a hazy Sunday afternoon following a bitchin St Patty's celebration, this brew hopes to encompass the best that California has to offer. Namely tasty beer and good times. Light in body, full in flavor due to the use of Victory malt and stellar combination of hops, with a refreshingly crisp finish. This beer is best enjoyed fresh, paired with good friends and fast times!
