Notes: PRE-BREW DAY PREPARATIONS

MEASURE SALTS
Very carefully measure out salts, put in medicine bottle.

MEASURE GRAINS
Carefully weigh out all grains, putting different grains in different containers.

MEASURE HOPS
Carefully weigh out the hop additions, put in small mason jars. under vacuum.

YEAST STARTER (One week before brew day).
This high gravity beer will need a 4 liter starter. 400 billion cells are needed. Prepare 4L of wort in the flask. Add yeast, put on stir plate.

(Actually, a 4.25 L starter is needed, so a sample of it can be saved for later culturing.)

DAY BEFORE BREW DAY
Prepare brewing water - with the grain basket in place, add PRECISELY 8.4 gallons of distilled water to the kettle.

Salts/acids - add mineral salts as prescribed, than add 3 ml 85% phosphoric acid. Check pH of water at this time and record.

BREW DAY!
Heat brewing water up to 148 deg F and hold there. Pump must remain off for the mash-in.

Mash-in
Add grains to the the water/basket, and stir in vigorously. Keep stirring as temperature rises back to 148 deg F. After 10 min, check pH. If pH is more than 5.45, acid will be needed.

First Saccharification Rest
(45 minutes)
Open valves, allow liquid to enter the recirculation system. Establish recirculation at a moderate flow rate. Conduct the rest at 148 deg F for 45 minutes.

Second Saccharification Rest
(30 minutes)
Conduct this rest at 158 deg F for 30 minutes. Stir as needed,.

Mash-out/Vorlauf
(15 minutes)
Raise temperature to 168 deg F. Allow recirculation to continue as usual.

Raising the Basket
TURN OFF RECIRCULATION. Raise the basket and hang on side of the kettle, as is usually done.

Rinsing the Grains in the Basket
It's now time to rinse the grains in the hanging basket with recirculating wort. First, SHUT OFF VALVES, then raise the basket. Remove the malt pipe from the end of the Direct Deposit recirculation arm, and remove the hose from the left side of the 3-way valve, making sure the valve is shut off! HAVE A VESSEL TO COLLECT RUNOFF WHEN YOU DISCONNECT THE HOSE, and collect it. Now, attach a hose there. This will be used to recirculate wort through the grains in the raised basket.

Using the mid-way position of the whirlpool 3-way valve, and holding the hose up (WEAR GLOVES!), recirculate wort over the grains, while simultaneously whirlpooling. Continue for 15 minutes, then allow it to drain for 5 minutes. Remove basket, hang on bucket, and allow it to drain into the bucket for 15 minutes.

BOIL
This will be a 90 minute boil. Measure pre-boil gravity; it should be around 1.042. (Sugar is not added until 10 min before the end of the boil). Post-boil gravity should be around 1.076 after the Simplicity Belgian Candy Sugar is added.

WHIRLPOOL
Reconfigure hoses for the whirlpool, with pump-out going into Therminator plate chiller. Allow hot wort to flow into the hoses/chiller. When bubbling is complete, turn on the pump.

Allow the hot wort to flow into the chiller and recirculate. After 10 min, all is sterilized and chilling may begin.

CHILLING
Turn on hose water. Allow temperature to drop to 185 deg F, then turn off pump. Within 5 minutes, temp should be at 175 deg F. At this time, add the whirlpool hops and allow recirculation to continue for 15 minutes.

After the 15 minute recirculation, turn the hose water back on. Chill to as cold as it will get, then use ice water recirculation if necessary, to bring temp down to 64 deg F or a bit lower. When chilling is complete, turn off the hose water recirculation.

MOVING WORT TO FERMENTOR
Assure oxygenation setup is in place. Allow a little wort to flow into the sanitized fermentor, then pour Yeast Buddy and BrewZyme D in, then continue the transfer. Assure there is a steady stream of bubbles going into the outflowing wort. When the fermentor is about 1/2 full, add the Brewzyme-D and continue filling until wort stops flowing. Put a cover on the fermentor now. Gently swirl fermentor so that thorough mixing of Yeast Buddy and BrewZyme-D solutions occurs.

PITCHING THE YEAST
Decant the supernatant from the yeast culture. Save a little of the yeast in a jar for reculturing. Now, add the remainder of the yeast to the fermentor. With the diptube/airlock cap in place, swirl the fermentor gently to evenly distribute yeast.

TILT HYDROMETER
Drop the calibrated Tilt Hydrometer into the fermenter.

FERMENTATION
Set Inkbird to 82 deg F. Begin fermentation at 65 deg F, then make sure heater is unplugged. When wort is at 65 deg F or a little lower, set the Inkbird to 82 deg F. After 12-18 hours, add oxygen to fermentating wort for 30 seconds.

UNPLUG HEATING BLANKET.
Make sure heating blanked is unplugged. Inkbird should be set for 82 deg F. Allow the temperature to self-rise on its own to reach 82 deg F. When temp reaches 82 deg F, have fermentation continue for a week to 10 days, until the Tilt Hydrometer shows the gravity is no longer dropping.

COLD CRASHING THE FINISHED WORT
Gradually lower temperature from 75 deg F to near freezing.

Notes: ===============================
9/28/2024

just shipped this keg out to GABF, however it is not doing so great.

it has a bit of a band aid flaw, which i think happened in the previous batch to a lesser degree. not sure if maybe this is a trait that wears off over time. the beer is also super cloudy, which throws off its presentation. it just feels weird.

i wonder if the honey produces some of this off flavor. you can definitely taste the honey flavor of the honey malt. could consider reducing the honey and replacing with sugar.

would like to try this again when the time comes. for next time, should figure out efficiency issues, and need to pitch more yeast and oxygenate. consider using one of the bigger belgian yeasts like WY3787.

the oak is also not coming through, i added a bunch of cubes to the keg, wasnt getting anywhere, added a bunch more. the oak is there but kind of faint.

===============================
8/29/2024

entering post brew adjustments and notes. i am not sure why i had such horrible efficiency especially because the grain bill is not that heavy before the DME and honey. the calculated pH is pretty low.

originally had set for 50% efficiency aiming for 1.117

this is now kegged with oak cubes. tasted some warm, tasted of band aid. i got this complaint in the past from blake. also on the first batch, it did not taste good at all until months later but i cant remember if it was band aid taste initially

===============================
8/13/2024

brewing this today. i was looking over this recipe today and realizing for an 11% beer this was really low OG of 1087. It appears I had the attenuation set up to 95% previously for WY3789. I dont think I can depend on this....

Also I forgot to get DME at the homebrew shop so I ordered some from amazon. The only one they had was a 6.25lb bag but given the snafu above I think I will add the whole thing.

Recipe calls for 2lb honey but I've got two 3lb jars....maybe just add all three, to make things simpler and especially since im behind on gravity now with the adjusted numbers...

===============================
8/7/2024

more than 3 years later, time to resurrect this beast. thinking about brewing this for the AHA Homebrew Rockstars pouring at GABF.

Last batch was really ideal so I'm tempted to keep it the same....but on the other hand, may try to sub DME for more malt, and adjust numbers to get up to full 5 gallon output.

....ugh ok making a lot more changes. warrior for warrior cryo. acid malt for phosphoric acid. keeping the DME adjusting the batch size. knocking down the expected efficiency.

should we stick with the wyeast or do dry yeast s33?

===============================
1/6/2021
measured FG of 1.003 back in august and again today....??? changing the attenuation from 83 to 96 to get proper FG not sure if that is the way to do that or not..

honey really fermented away and dried it out. Doesnt taste dry though, or too thin bodied, tastes pretty sweet actually. body i think is appropriate for tripel. abv is a little high. hoping it doesnt taste too much like mead. maybe a tad too much oak. it was oaked twice, did not take notes....soaked oak cubes on vodka to avoid too much bourbon flavor. wasnt oakey enough so i removed the cubes and added a fresh charge for a month or so.

beer is delicious!
===============================
8/6/2021
just added the sugars last night. i started with 1/2 gallon water and added 1lb dme and 2lb honey. Not sure the total volume of all that, should i just use 1/2 gallon? making the batch 4.25 gallons and 9.86% or estimate it at 4.5 gallons making it 9.32%? I guess I should just look on the fermenter to see how much total volume i have at the moment....

===============================
8/4/2021
brew day. decided to go light on volume so to account for the the honey and DME mix i will add later. came out with about 5 gallons post boil but surprisingly less than 4 in the fermentor. efficiency was about 52% with just my grain. 5.66pH (meter might be broken). tap water, forgot the phosphoric acid. double crush. idk. attempted to ressurect some trappist high gravity from january which i think i used on the single. made the starter last night, doesnt appear to have any activity so far. went ahead and pitched it when the wort was down to temp.

now im adjusting the recipe to account for the additional volume and honey and dme. this means i will need to try to add about 0.9 gallon of dme/honey wort to the beer at some point later this week to end up with 9.11% beer. or i could do an even gallon for an 8.8% brew....

===============================
6/30/2021
finalizing recipe. subbing 60 min styrian golding for some warrior. Just thinking might need more bitterness balance so aiming for about 40IBU on the higher end of tripel.

bumping 5 min addition from .5oz to 1.

===============================
4/26/2021
reformulating 2019's tripel play into this honey oak tripel. added honey malt and replaced candi sugar with honey. removed 2 row for all pilsner. did not change hops - need to determine if more needed (probably - we've gone up from 7 to 9% abv) also need to deal with water - maybe just use tap and adjust pH. will add oak to secondary, be careful not to overdo it. prob soak in vodka instead of bourbon. bottle condition.
===============================
8/15/19. this came out a bit darker than I expected, deep golden / orange; i didnt pay attention to the SRM of the specialty malts; but this is an acceptable color for the style.

next time i would like to aim for light, yellow color. Could consider using only pilsner malt and candi. Byo mayjune2012 suggesting 80/20, consider using table sugar. Store candi not traditional and more $$. Step mash 140 for 45 the step to 152 for 20 then mash out. Pitch 75% yeast count than normal for proper spicy esters

also the bottles were slightly undercarbonated at first but i think overall ok (ideally would be slightly more). Took a while to get to full carbonation
=====================================
7/23/19. Measured FG 1.010 so adjusting attenuation up to reflect. This will be about 8%. Need to reevaluate mash temp and time.

I cant believe I didnt take any notes on this prior to now...
