Subject: VKW beer recipe
This recipe means nothing to me, but I'm looking for someone to brew some for me in Switzerland. I hope the values/amounts/times etc. have sufficient detail, but I'm not sure what's required...
Thanks!
Simon

Notes: Mash in @ 67.4 @ 21:45 (water was 8l @ 74.5 C) kept open for 10 minutes, to lower temperature a bit. Chilled to 64 C.
Held for 60 minuts.
Then 74 C for 20 minutes.
Then cooled to 22 C and verdant IPA pitched. Holding it in a water bath @ 19 C.
Belgian Candi Sirup just for calculation purposes, in reality homemade dark invert sirup was used.
After 20 days dry hopped with 27g Goldings.
FG: 1,008. Tastes sweet and good, bit grainy but cloudy, no yeast bite though. Good beer directly out of the fermenter. Already reat foam!!! |

Notes: Winner of the Quad State Beer Festival Competition 2016 (Belgian - Saisson - Wheat category)
Fermentation Note: Pitch 100 billion cells of WLP 300 onto chilled wort for initial fermentation (DO NOT MAKE A STARTER - UNDER-PITCHING IS KEY!) Ferment at 60* for 72 hrs.
After 72 hrs, raise temperature to 68* until airlock activity becomes minimal.
After airlock activity becomes minimal, reduce temperature to 60* for the remaining primary fermentation. No secondary fermentation is required, Rack to keg or bottle condition.

-German wheat beer, flitered Hefeweizen with raspberry flavor.
-Gypsum used to add sulfate "crispness" to the hop bitterness.
-Targeted Mash temperatures in the range of 152°F to 156°F to create a wort with a balance of fermentable and non-fermentable sugars.
-Test equipment calibrated prior to use, samples temperature adjusted. Triple – 1.000 reads 1.002, Alla – 1.000 reads .998, Precision Hydrometer – 1.000 reads .999
-FG measured with precision hydrometer.
-BU:GU (Bitterness to starting gravity ratio): (IBU [15.39] divided by OG (52) = [.3].

Use chloride to enhance texture as opposed to sulfur that will increase bitterness
Allow temp to increase for a few days to decrease diacetyl |
