Notes: Made this before. Can't achieve lager temps so I use US-05 and ferment around 62-64 f then raise up to about 70 after 10 days, then put in my fridge and bring down to about 42 F for 2 days. Bottle, and let sit for a month before drinking. I used clarity ferm, and this stuff came out clear as can be. If you want less hop presence then omit the 10 min cascade addition. The 1 oz of blackprinz is to add color, but no real harsh flavor.

Can't get yuengling in California... So this is the next best thing.

Added blackprinz and vienna malt to try to get the color and flavor of Yuengling Lager. .

Awesome lawnmower beer. Wish I could make 10 gallon batches of this at a time

Notes: Most ingredients are a guess - I'm basing the grain bill on Brooklyn Brew Shop's "Rose Cheeked and Blonde" recipe from their book, leaving out the roses & Candi sugar. Hop schedule is based on the PDF from their site.

From Brooklyn Brew Shop:
The Original Gravity for Bruxelles Blonde is 1.056 and the final Gravity should be 1.014 which gives an ABV of 5.6%.

From PDF:
Ingredients (Grains, hops, yeast all in kit).

INGREDIENTS
NOT INCLUDED
BUT NEEDED:
• 3 tablespoons honey
• Ice

The Mash
• Heat 2 quarts of water to 160°F (71°C).
• Add grain (This is called “mashing in.” Take note of jargon. Or don’t).
• Mix gently with spoon or spatula until mash has consistency of oatmeal.
Add water if too dry or hot. Temperature will drop to ~150°F (66°C).
• Cook for 60 minutes at 144-152°F (63-68°C). Stir every 10 minutes, and use
your thermometer to take temperature readings from multiple locations.
• You likely don’t need to apply heat constantly. Get it up to temperature, then turn
the heat off. Monitor, stir, and adjust accordingly to keep in range.
• After 60 minutes, heat to 170°F (77°C) while stirring constantly (“Mashing Out”).

The Sparge
• Heat additional 4 quarts of water to 170°F (77°C).
• Set up your “lauter tun” (a strainer over a pot).
• Carefully add the hot grain mash to the strainer, collecting the liquid that passes
through.
• This liquid is called “wort” (pronounced “wert”). It will be your beer.
• Slowly and evenly pour 170°F (77°C) water over the mash to extract the grain’s sugars.
• You want to collect a gallon and a quart of wort. You will lose about 20% to
evaporation during the boil so you will want to start with a bit more.
• Re-circulate wort through grain once.

The Boil
• In a pot, heat wort until it boils.
• Keep boiling until you’ve hit the “hot break” (Wort will foam - you may
need to reduce heat slightly so it doesn’t boil over.)
• Stir occasionally. All you want is a light boil – too hot and you lose
fermentable sugars and volume.
• The boil will last 60 minutes. Start your timer and add in the rest of the
ingredients at these times:
- Add 1/3 Hops at start of boil.
- Add 1/3 Hops 30 minutes into boil.
- Add remaining Hops 45 minutes into boil
• Twenty percent of the wort will have evaporated in this step leaving you
with 1 gallon of wort. If your boil was a bit high, the surface area of your
pot extra large, or brewed on a particularly hot day you may have less
than the full gallon. Don’t worry – you just reduced your beer a bit too
much. You can add more water in the next step to get it up to the
full gallon.

Fermentation
• Place brew pot in an ice bath until it cools to 70°F (21°C)
• Once cooled, place strainer over funnel and pour your beer into the glass
fermenter. Yeast needs oxygen, so the strainer helps aerate your wort and
clarify your beer (as well as catch any sediment from going into the
fermenter).
• “Pitch” yeast. (Toss the full packet in).
• Shake aggressively. You’re basically waking up the yeast and getting more
air into the wort.
• Attach sanitized screw-top stopper to bottle - slide rubber tubing into the
stopper and place the other end in small bowl of sanitizer. You’ve
just made a “blow-off tube”. It makes sure your beer doesn’t blow up from
too much pressure.
• Let sit for one to two days or until vigorous bubbling subsides. This is
when fermentation is at its highest. There will be lots of bubbles and foam
at the top of your beer.
• Assemble airlock, filling up to line with sanitizer.
• Insert airlock into hole in stopper.
• Keep in a cool, dark place for two weeks without disturbing other than to
show off to friends. (If beer is still bubbling, leave sitting until it stops.)
• In the meantime drink beer with self-closing swing tops (or non-twist off if
you have the capper) or go to a bar that has some and ask for empties.

Two Weeks Later: Bottling
• Thoroughly rinse bottles with water, removing any sediment.
• Mix remaining sanitizer with water.
• Fill each bottle with a little sanitizer and shake. Empty after two minutes,
rinse with cold water and dry upside down.
• Attach sanitized tubing to the short curved end of your sanitized racking
cane. Attach the black tip to the other end - it will help prevent sediment
from getting sucked up.
• It will probably be a snug fit, but you can get it on there.
• Dissolve 3 tablespoons honey with 1⁄4 cup water. Pour into a sanitized pot.
• Siphoning (It all happens pretty fast. You may want to practice on a pot of
water first.)
- Fill tubing, but not racking cane, with sanitizer.
- Hold tubing below top of racking cane so sanitizer doesn’t pour into
your beer.
- Remove stopper and place racking cane into jug, just above the
sediment at the bottom (“trub”).
- Lower end of tubing not connected to racking cane into sink so that
sanitizer flows out. Suction will force beer up and through the
racking cane and tubing.
- Let sanitizer flow into sink until beer just starts to flow out of the
tubing, then clamp shut. Open clamp on tubing, allowing beer to
flow into pot with sugar solution.
- Tilt jug when beer level is getting low, but be careful in not sucking
up the trub.
- Siphon beer from pot into bottles, pinching tube clamp to stop flow
after each bottle.
• Close bottles.
• Store in a cool dark place for 2 weeks.

Two Weeks Later: Enjoying
• Put beers in the fridge the night before you drink them.
• Drink. Share with friends if you’re the sharing type.

Notes: Light American Lager, brewed with Ale yeast.

The results are in on this beer! My advice go with the Wyeast 1272 American Ale II. The Safale US-05 tastes watered down and thin compared to the American Ale II. We did a little tasting party with these two. Everybody (novice and experienced drinkers alike), resoundingly preferred the batch fermented with American Ale II. Damn this is a great beer!

Notes: Mash pH was too low at 5.03

I used 6 teaspoons of Bali Blue Moon coffee from Island Roasters, a local coffee shop in New Smryna Beach, FL. It's roasted at Light Vienna, which I believe is somewhere on the medium roast spectrum. I had it coarse ground and added it directly to a fine mesh bag, added a sanitized spoon for weight, and added it directly to the keg while I cold crashed and carbonated.
It was in the keg for 48 hours at 15psi before removal. I think the keg pressure helped extract the coffee flavor. I used unflavored dental floss tied to the string of the bag so that I could retrieve the bag when I was ready.

After talking with other brewers about this beer I think I may have had a little luck on my side in using ground coffee instead of cold brew coffee. Next time I'll probably get a good quality fresh cold brew from somewhere nearby and add it to the keg to taste. Just my 2 cents.

Notes: Brewed 9/28/14. I accidentally under struck (153F instead of 163F) the water and had to top up with a gallon of boiling water (strike was 29 quarts then). Hit 147F which is a bit low but decided to leave it at that. I added more salts to adjust. I only recirculated about a half gallon because I didn't want to cool it too much. The pH ended up being 5.2. Not sure why as it was predicted to be 5.6 but that is an acceptable range. I decided to add a half ounce of hops at 90min to help prevent boil over. I ended up collecting about 9.75 - 10gal of wort. Pre-boil gravity was 1.064 which put the kettle efficiency at 79%. At about 20min left in the boil I cranked it up because I was worried there was too much wort still. Probably should not have done that as I ended up a bit short. I ended up with about 5.2 to 5.3 gallons in the fermenter. I topped off with prolly about a quart of water which in retrospect I didn't need to do as I am going to add corn sugar but oh well. OG was similar to what I predicted although I wanted to maybe get a bit better efficiency. Pitch was about 68F but I plan on fermenting it a bit lower. 9/29 I iced the brew down a bit last night and it was sitting at 65F in the morning. I also dosed it again with about a minute of oxygen. By evening it had risen up to about 67F so I cooled it down again to about 65F. 9/30 morining it had heated up to about 67F so I cooled it back down to about 63F. I iced it periodically throughout the day and by evening it was up to 67F so I cooled it down to about 65F. 10/1 by morning the beer was sitting at about 65F. I added the corn sugar mid day and it kicked the volume up to about 6gal. I put in a bit more % wise then I wanted to because of the dilution factor. By evening it had heated up to about 68F so I cooled it back down to about 65F. 10/2 the temp had risen up to about 67F by the morning. I am planning on just letting it rise up slowly. Fermentation on this beer hasn't been as vigorous as I expected. Maybe because I pitched so much yeast. 10/3 I have kept the fermentation temps below 70F and mostly hovering around 68F. 10/5 took the beer outta the swamp bath. Last couple of days it was hovering more around 70F. The ferm has slowed down but still going. 10/6 the brew is still fermenting but it has slowed a bit (not much yeast has settled out yet though), sitting at about 76F. 10/9 ferm is pretty much done, there is still a little bit of foamy krausen on the top though. 10/10 fermentation seems to have quelled. Took a gravity reading on 10/13 which makes it way drier than I expected. Guess maybe the low mash and corn sugar dried it out a bit and made it ferment more. Tasted the sample and it was quite alcoholic and possibly a bit cidery. 10/20 dry hopped. 10/24 I biofined the brew with 2 tbls. 10/26 cold crashed. Kegged on 10/28. 11/19 decided to dry hop it more with 3.5oz in the keg because hops are fading. Beer was initially very boozy and dry but after a couple weeks in the keezer it blended together really nicely and is malty and a bit hoppy. Most dynamic change flavor wise I have ever seen in a beer.

Notes: Scaled down to a 2 gallon recipe for testing the recipe. The original recipe calls for 5.5 gallons.

Add hops per the 60 minute boil schedule.
Once the boil is over, put your kettle to cool down to 67 degrees. 20 minutes after the cool down started (and most likely has ended) move the work to your primary fermenter, then add the cascade and gently swirl back and forth.

After several minutes, pitch your yeast and cap with your airlock.

After 8 days (or once fermentation has ended for you) add the Cascade Dry hops directly into your primary fermenter (or if you have a secondary fermenter, add there), and swirl gently back and forth for about 2 minutes, then place the airlock back on and let sit for ~7 days for best results.
