Notes: Directions
Mash grains at 151-152° F (66-67° C) for an hour or until starch conversion is complete. Mash out at 170° F (77° C) and sparge. Collect 8 gallons (30 L) of runoff, stir in dextrose, and bring to a boil. Add hops as indicated in the recipe. After a 90 minute boil, chill wort to 67° F (19° C) and transfer to fermenter. Pitch two packages of yeast or a yeast starter and aerate well. Ferment at 67° F (19° C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack to secondary. Add first set of dry hops on top of the racked beer and age 7-9 days, then add the second set. Age five more days then bottle or keg the beer. |

Notes: Added 1lbs of dried malt extract in boil to adjust gravity. Also added 1oz Roasted, 2oz carafa III, and blackprinz at 15 minutes end of mash to adjust color.
Beer came out perfect beautiful aroma roasty, with hints of chocolate notes complex. Black beauty with tan head tight bubbles. Flavor is smooth with complex roasted notes (not burnt).
Sweetness starts and finishes the beer not cloying. |

Notes: So the idea is that the Vienna malt will give the beer an orange colour; the Victory malt will add a toast flavour; the Cascade will give a citrusy aroma; and of course steeping the orange peel will hopefully add the orange flavour.
With luck this will add up to a toast and marmalade theme :-) |

Notes: Based on the recipe for Societe brewings the Pupil IPA (tweaked the hops a little)
http://meekbrewingco.blogspot.ca/2014/05/brewing-societe-brewing-pupil-clone.html
Brew a 25L batch and then split into 2 fermentors. Dilute back to 1.062 so that one batch (16.6L) is 20L (1.6L WLP001 starter) and the other batch (8.4L) is 10L (1 vial funktown pale).
Brewed Sunday 1st March
18.5L strike water at 72.5oC gave a mash temp of 64.5. Stirred the mash after 20 mins (temp was 64).
Sparged with a little extra water for yeast starters. Approx 30L preboil vol and then topped up after 20 mins. Ended up boiling longer (90 mins). Preboil gravity 1.058.
Added sugar with 10 mins remaining in the boil.
Ended up short of target gravity. 24L at 1.065 diluted to 27L at 1.058. 18L WLP001. 9L conan/brett
Aim for mash pH of 5.4 (predicted) using:
Calcium Sulphate (Gypsum): 3g to strike water and 3g to the sparge water
Espsom salts: 2g to strike water and 2g to the sparge water
Calcium Chloride 1.5g added to the strike and sparge waters as 33% solution (not as dihydrate) so scaling / correction factor = 110.98 g/mol (anhydrous) / 147.014 g/mol (dihydrate) * 3 = 2.26. 1.5g x 2.26 = 3.4 mL.
Lactic Acid (88%): 6.9 mL added to strike water and 1.6 mL added to sparge water (to acidify to pH 5.4).
05/03/15 (Thursday) Day 5 - Beers moved from 17oC ambient "storage" to 21oC ambient "pan room".
06/03/15 (Friday) Day 6 - Funktown Pale (Brett IPA) = 1.016.
09/03/15 (Monday) Day 9 - WLP001 (IPA) = 1.009.
15/03/15 (Sunday) Day 15 - Dry hop 1 14g Mosaic + 14g Citra + 28g Nelson for IPA. 7g Mosaic + 7g Citra + 14g Nelson for Brett IPA.
19/03/15 (Thursday) Day 19 - Dry hop 2 added. Equal amounts.
22/03/15 (Sunday) Day 22 - Moved to attic to crash chill (~8oC ambient temp)
24/03/15 - Tuesday Day 24 - Kegged both beers without gelatine. Attic temp 12oC. Hooked up CO2 at 2.2 bar. |
