Notes: Step by Step
Mill the grains and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.5 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight) and a temperature of 152° F (67 °C). Hold the mash at 152 °F (67 °C) until enzymatic conversion is complete. Infuse the mash with near boiling water while stirring or with a recirculating mash system raise the temperature to mash out at 168 °F (76 °C). Sparge slowly with 170 °F (77 °C) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 6.5 gallons (25 L) and the gravity is 1.052 (12.9 °P).
The total wort boil time is 90 minutes. Add the bittering hops with 60 minutes remaining in the boil. Add Irish moss or other kettle finings with 15 minutes left in the boil. Add other hop additions at 10 minutes remaining and flame out. Chill the wort to 67 °F (19 °C) and aerate thoroughly. The proper pitch rate is 12 grams of rehydrated dry yeast, 2 packages of liquid yeast or 1 package of liquid yeast in a 2.5-liter starter.
Ferment at 67 °F (19 °C) until the yeast drops clear. Fermentation should be complete in about one week. Allow the lees to settle and the brew to mature without pressure for another two days after fermentation appears finished. Rack to a keg and force carbonate or rack to a bottling bucket, add priming sugar, and bottle. Target a carbonation level of 2 to 2.5 volumes |

| Notes: This is great! Do not be fooled by what some consider a high volume of peated malt. I love that peaty fiery essence to this; something about the WNC mountains and Scottish/Scotch influence that makes sense. |

Notes: The Mashing Process
We are using a triple infusion light body mashing process for this Brut IPA. This process is a little more in-depth than just setting your mash between 145-155F for an hour. The steps for this mash:
Step One: Protein Rest with a temp of 128F for 15 mins.
Step Two: Saccrafication Rest with a temp set at 140F for 45 mins this is when you will add the Amylo 300
Step Four: Mash with a temp set at 148F
Step Five: Sparge with a temp at 158F
This process will once again allows for all proteins and starches to break down so that the beer can ferment down to a super low .999 or lower final gravity.
After the Mash, you will go straight to boil with a simple 45 min whirlpool hop addition of 3 oz of Citra. Ferment at a normal ale fermentation temps between 65-72F using a clean high alcohol tolerant yeast, Schoolhouse Beer and Brewing suggest using White Labs San Diego Super Yeast. |

Notes: Targeting a batch size of 11l to allow room for adding plums in the fermenter when fermentation is slowing down.
I ran out of Pilsner, otherwise it would be all Pilsner malt
I will prepare a massive yeast cake by brewing a low ABV beer beforehand and I will rack the wort directly on to it to avoid having to make a starter for such a big beer.
The light chocolate malt is mainly to adjust for colour if you like it a bit darker. I doubt it adds much flavour at 50g but you never know. |

Notes: Mash at 156°F (69°C) for one hour, adjusting pH to 5.2 with citric acid if necessary. Mash out at 168°F (76°C). Fly
sparge at 168-170°F (76-77°C). Don’t use Whirlfloc or Irish moss in the boil. Chill to 108°F (42°C) and add whirlpool
hops, stirring or whirlpooling to keep hops in suspension for 60 minutes. Chill to 70°F (21°C) and pitch dry yeast blend; do
not pitch more WB-06 and T-58 than specified, as they will dominate the clean base strain. There is no need to hydrate the
dry yeast prior to pitching and no need to aerate or oxygenate the wort. After 24 hours, lower fermentation temperature
gradually to 64°F (18°C) over a 60-hour period, let fermentation run at 64° F for 4-5 days depending on yeast activity,
and then add the dry hops to primary and ferment to completion (usually about 2 days). Take care to minimize oxygen
uptake at all times after fermentation. Cold crash to 32°F (0°C) for 2 days, then closed-transfer to a keg and force
carbonate. |
