Notes: This batch of Adirondack Cream Ale is being brewed on 1/18/2016 with two changes from last years brewing of Adirondack Cream Ale on 3/5/2015.
Original Gravity where I buy the ingredients was out of 6 row so I substituted 2 row for 6 row in the original recipe from March 2015. This change in grain concentration and grain type may affect the flavor of the final beer. Who knows.
The second change is using another .50 ounce of Cluster in the last 20 minutes. Lets see if this makes a difference in the final product.
I was going to use a yeast started but opted not to due to the projected OG to be below the limit of when Whitelab says to use a starter (OG 1.070) I don't get to use my cool Erlenmeyer flask this go around.
1/25/16:
Racked off into glass carboy. Gravity an unbelievable 1.008. Checked hydrometer for accuracy at room temp tap water was 1.00 gm/ml. But it should not go that low given the grain bill. Last year the same thing happened I checked calibrations then too. All was well.
Current ABV calculations are coming out above 8 ABV
Set Carboy on kitchen counter for a day to check for activity and then into a cold closet to rest.
* After two hours the decanted beer showed no signs of restart so I added a low dose of LD Carlson;s Yeast Energizer (Nutrient Booster). Normal dose would be 2.5 teaspoons. I had only 1 1/2 teaspoons on hand so I used it.
Checked gravity on 2/4/2016 and found it to be 1.006 g/ml. I may soon.
Making the ABV 8.93 % Alcohol
Attenuation was 91% I think it is done.
2/7/16 - Fermentation not done. Witnessed airlock movement this morning. Keeping the Cream Ale in the glass carboy another week.
Projected bottling: Feb 15th
Projected aging in fermenters total: 4 weeks. 1 week in Primary and three in secondary carboy
2/14/16 - Racked off beer from glass carboy to bottling bucket. I have 5 gallons of beer to bottle. Checked gravity
OG - 1.74
FG - 1.002
Calc ABV - 9.45%
Used 3/4 cup Extra light DME boiled then put on an ice bath.
4.9 Gallons bottled.
6, 22oz Craft Brew bottles
36, 12 oz
1, Grolsh bottle
1 12 oz pour for the brewmiester
1 busted bottle
= 4.9 gallons
9.45% is kicking my ass, but I don't know it yet.
Current notes as a raw beer without carbonation.
Smells like a Cream Ale and a Saison.
Nice even finish maybe leaning dry but currently well balanced.

Notes: Really clear right from the fermentor, nice tasting and very clean, as about as good as you can get without a lager yeast, defiantly a winner beer
now in order to get this right I used the ramping up method, start cold at 59, let it set for 5 days then ramp to 65 go three days then 70 and go three more days without opening then keg and let the beer sit at 34 while carbing slowly at 12....after 5 days on co2 it was Hell of a Kolsch |

Notes: Brewed using the 20L Braumeister.
Great body with nice mouth feel. Perfect lacing on the glass, slightly sweet with caramel notes from the amber malt. Good balance from the hops, they work well together. Not bitter but lovely hoppy after notes on the tongue. Not much on the noise which is weird. |

Notes: The flaked corn in this recipe is actually popcorn. 3oz organic yellow corn kernels, popped in a pot (no oil used, obviously) ... weight was 2.5oz after popping (assuming .5oz water lost to evaporation during popping)
Turbinado added to kettle at beginning of boil.
Heat strike water to 170F to achieve 156F mash temp
Issues/Concerns: Volume of wort less than expected, inconsistent hop additions (some with bag, some without ... FWH - 15 min additions in bags and removed at flameout ... 5 min addition loose so left in at flameout, whirlpool hops added loose), no whirlpool because of chiller in pot and new bazooka filter, hydrometer readings were very low ... after testing with plain 60F water it appears that hydrometer is broken
After 6 days in primary, SG @ 1.020 (temp adjusted 75f (new hydrometer
!)). Taste is intense fruit/spice. Resiny. Pineapple, swimming across palate. FWH addition noted. |
