| Notes: This is somewhat complex but it - the original - is one of my favourite commercial beers. I HOPE this works out as I have yet to brew it but it follows other similar clones of the same beer. I tried to balance strength, maltyness and colour with enough bitterness to make it work. |

Notes: On brew day...
Mash #1
Mill 7Kg of pale ale and dough in with 21.1L hot water, targeting a mash at 70.6C.
Hold until enzymatic conversion is complete.
If your system allows raise the mash temperature to 76C and recirculate the wort until clear.
Sparge with 77C water to collect 25L of wort.
If your boil off volume is greater than 10% / hour adjust the amount of wort you collect accordingly.
Take a specific gravity reading and, if needed, add light DME to reach a specific grav of 1.065.
Heat to a boil and add the hop extract. Boil for 4 hours.
Time Mash #2 so that the wort from Mash #1 has boiled for at least 4 hours before you begin to collect the first runnings from Mash #2 into the boil kettle.
Mash #2
Mill 3Kg of pale ale malt along with the remaining grain and dough-in with 21.1L of hot water, targeting a mash at 70.6C.
Hold until enzymatic conversion is complete.
If your system allows raise the mash temperature to 76C and recirculate the wort until clear.
Collect 13.2L of first runnings wort in the boil kettle to reach a total of 25L.
If necessary, sparge with 77C water to bring the volume up to 25L of wort.
The specific gravity of the wort in the kettle at this point should be about1 1.124
Boil for 90 minutes adding Whirlfloc, yeast nutrient and sugar at 10 minutes.
Before cooling take a specific gracity reading and, if needed, add light DME to reach a specific gravity of 1.169 and a final volume of 20.7L
Chill the wort to 16.7C
Oxygenate with pure oxygen for 90 seconds before pitching the yeast starter (decanting the spent wort first).
Ferment at 16.7-17.8C
After 12-24 hours of fermentation, oxygenate with pure oxygen for 60 seconds.
Hold the fermentation temperature at 16.7-17.8C for 7 to 10 days b.
Raise temperature up to 21.1C for 7 days to perform a diacetyl rest and ensure a complete fermentation (FG of 1.055)
Rack to secondary fermenter and leave for 1 to 3 weeks. (Due to extreme viscosity, racking this beer can take an incredibly long time).
Before or after racking the beer to the secondary, prepare a vanilla bean tincture.
Cut open 2 Mexican vanilla seeds and pods into just enough neutral spirit (like vodka) to cover, and age for 5 days before adding it to seconday.
age for 8 days minimum
(optional to barrel age, add another vanilla bean tincture for ~six months or to taste)
Before bottling add 2.5-5oz of whole bean coffee in a muslin bag to secondary
1. Intelligentsia black cat (pre-2014 Dark Lord)
or
2. Dark Matter Unicorn Blood (2014-2015 Dark Lord)
age for 24-48 hrs at 38 degrees then bottle as normal but add additional yeast (US-05) at bottling
When kegging, shoot for 2-2.25 volumes CO2
Add above described coffee beans to empty keg in a muslin bag and remove after 24-48 hours of aging at 38 degrees
Once carbonated condition at cellar temperature for several months |

Scaled to 1 gallon; substituted Belgian Pale for Belgian Pilsner on hand; cut the orange; added pumpkin for the season.
Cut pumpkin in half, de-seed, cut into slices, roast 350F 1 hour to get good caramelization. Cut slices into fine chunks -- skin and all -- for addition to mash.
Ferment 66F = 18.9C. |

| Notes: Changed from pilsner malt to 2 row. Hit 153 with the strike (172/173) to I had to temp adjust with a quart of cold water and then a quart of hot water. I got to 150. I conditioned the malt this time and put the rollers at the default setting. I conditioned with 1.5% of the weight and it seemed to turn out really well. Looked very pretty so we will see how the sparge and efficiency goes. I hit 5.17 pH taking a reading from the spout at about 10min. Maybe I don't need the acidulated malt? Predicted pH was 5.4. Sparge only slowed down a little bit but I also had rice hulls so that might have helped vs conditioning the malt. HBC342 was about 9 months old so I decided to DH with 2 öz of Citra |

Notes: Prior to pitching- wort was sweet (duh!), and the mouthfeel suitable. The smell was very tropical due to the low bittering hop schedule; Azaaca and Pekko hops reminded me of everything from mango, cucumber and mint. Used a 1 liter starter w/o stir plate (2 days prior to pitching). extremely bright yellow color, reminiscent of a banana peel. OG= 1.050. Fermentation is occurring at ambient room temperature, which during this time of year is between 74-76. A little on the high side for this yeast, but we'll see what happens.
Day 3 - high-krausen has subsided, but the yeast has produced enough CO2 that the sample I pulled was slightly carbonated. Gravity reading = 1.012 (4.99% ABV). At this point, I believe primary fermentation is suitably completed. Tasting notes- excellent mouthfeel; mild, creamy body. Taste like a tropical hefeweizen- subdue notes of banana and clove, but the taste from the boil addition of orange peel and grapefruit peel are present on the back end. I am resisting the temptation of pulling the beer out of primary and putting into secondary. I will leave the beer on the wort until day 7. Will pull a new gravity reading at day 5. Deciding on whether or not to use fining agents to make the beer clearer, like a kristalweizen, or to keep the traditional wheat haze present. Very pleased with the choice of yeast.
Day 5 - gravity has fallen to 1.006 (5.78% ABV). Evidently, I was clearly wrong about fermentation being done on day 3. Will monitor for atleast another 2 days to see if the gravity stabilizes. If it is stable on day 7, I will make to secondary on day 10 or 11. I don't want to rush this beer, but I am eager to pour a glass of it. The honey addition at flameout is now present. Still has the notes of orange peel and grapefruit peel, put I have to pull deep to tate any of the banana or clove characteristic. It is a bit sweeter on the pallet than I am used to tasting, but I have never brewed a beer with such a low IBU. The mouthfeel is still creamy and pleasant.
