Notes: Hoppy Belgian Strong Pale Ale focused on brewing with Golden Promise malt, the new El Dorado (Spanish for "The Golden One") hops and the more traditional Brewer's Gold hops. First Gold, a UK dual-purpose hop, was chosen as a late addition/knockout hop for its spicy and slightly floral notes, matching well with the esters produced during primary fermentation.

Aiming for a resinous, fruity and dry profile with some of the traditional Belgian character; a soft yet fairly-full mouthfeel should result from the use of oats and wheat in conjunction with a traditional Belgian yeast blend. This is kind of influenced by Idle Hands' "hopification" of traditionally non-hoppy styles (hoppy hefe and hoppy tripel were both amazing and intense, keeping the best, traditionalist qualities of the original styles and adding some new world flair).

4/16/16: This one's been a long time coming. I switched the hop additions around a lot to focus on El Dorado as an aroma hop instead of a bittering hop. Doing our sacch rest now.

4/23/16: racked onto 1oz El Dorado

4/30/16: sample was great with 1wk dry hop. Forgot yeast, so did not bottle. Heavy phenols up front, great belgian character, soft, medium body. Hints of tropical hops in the finish which become more noticeable after repeated sips, and phenols calm down a bit.

5/25/16: So this ended up with 1 week in primary, 2 weeks in secondary w/ dry-hop (El Dorado). Has been conditioning in bottles for about 2 and a half more weeks at this point. Just opened my first bottle to enjoy at home (had a bottle this past weekend while at Pat's place and posted about it on FB but needed to update here).

Pours a beautiful deep orange/golden color with an absolutely massive head with spectacular retention. With a head this milky, frothy and bone white, this reminds me a lot of a classic Duvel pour, which makes me proud. Lacing is mild but appears tiered when it does come about. Body is opaque, though effervescent carbonation can be seen around the edges of the glass if you look hard enough.

Nose is bright tropical fruit (pineapple/papaya/guava, mostly), mild grassy notes, solid amounts of Belgian funk, a bit of vanilla and honeyed malt. Not a trace of alcohol to be found, and at almost 9%, that's dangerous. In other words, this smells like a perfect Belgian strong pale ale to me.

The palate is mostly rich phenolic Belgian yeast, chewy honey-leaning malt notes and juicy, bright hops. Lots of clove-y aspects intertwined with pineapple and papaya, structured on top of an almost-doughy malt/yeast combo. Very big body on this beer. Definitely not a light tasting one, but it was never really meant to be. That said, the playful hop notes and intense tropical fruit flavors make this an enjoyable warm weather beer if you don't mind the high ABV. Carbonation is medium-high.

If we brew this again, I'm suggesting several changes. The hop bill seems pretty spot-on, other than the fact that we should probably double the dry-hop quantity. It probably would've been better to just do one knockout addition of 1 oz and then do 2 oz in the dry-hop. I feel the aromatic elements of El Dorado could be pushed even more, though they do come out here for sure. I would also say we could play with the malt bill a bit, perhaps utilizing Golden Promise as the whole base malt instead of splitting with 2-row and pilsner. Oats and wheat helped provide structure here, for sure, but I'd also like to see what this is like with a bit more of each. That's more of a weird desire for experimentation than a necessity, but regardless... glad we have so many bottles of this creamy, rich, Belgian yeast-influenced tropical-fruit-cocktail in a bottle!

Notes: Midnight Sun Brewing Company: Arctic Devil Barley Wine clone

(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.121 FG =1.033
IBU = 25 SRM = 21 ABV = 13.2%

This is an English-style barleywine brewed once each year and then aged in oak barrels several months before being released each fall.

Ingredients
21.5 lbs. (10 kg) Maris Otter pale ale malt
1 lb. (0.45 kg) Special B malt (138 °L)
6.1 oz. (0.17 kg) Caramunich II malt
15 oz. (0.43 kg) brown sugar
5 AAU Fuggle hops (60 min.) (1 oz./28 g at 5% alpha acids)
3.75 AAU Challenger hops (30 min.) (0.5 oz./14 g at 7.5% alpha acids)
0.9 oz. (26 g) Fuggle hops (0 min.)
0.15 oz. (4.3 g) Challenger hops (0 min.)
8 oz. (227 g) Cascade hops (dry hop)
1.5 oz. (43 g) medium toast American oak chips
Wyeast 1728 (Scottish Ale) or White Labs WLP028 (Edinburgh Scottish Ale) yeast
¾ cup (150 g) dextrose (if priming)

Step by Step
Mash at 148 °F (64 °C) for 60 minutes. Collect enough wort for a 3.5-hour boil adding hops in the final hour of the boil per the ingredients list. At the end of the boil, give the wort a long stir and let settle for 15 minutes. Cool, aerate heavily and transfer to the fermenter. Ferment at 68 °F(20 °C) until finished, then transfer the beer into a secondary vessel with the sanitized oak chips. You can sanitize the oak chips by boiling them in 1 cup water for 15 minutes or you can try soaking these in wine or a spirit of your choice. Midnight Sun will barrel age Arctic Devil for 10–12 months in American oak barrels of various origins. We recommend 1-2 months on the oak chips, tasting regularly until the desired level of oak flavor is achieved. Dry hop the beer for ten days, then bottle or keg. Carbonate to 2.4 volumes CO2.

Extract with grains option:
Substitute the Maris Otter pale malt in the all-grain recipe with 15 lbs. (6.8 kg) Maris Otter liquid malt extract. Place the crushed grains in a grain bag and steep in 5 gallons (19 L) water as it heats up to 170 °F (77 °C). Remove the grain bag and allow to drain back into the kettle. Bring to boil and boil for 60 minutes, adding the hops according to the ingredients list. Follow the remaining portion of the all-grain recipe.

Notes: This is a single step infusion mash. Mix grains with 1 gallons strike water to achieve a mash temperature of 146 °F (63 °C). Hold at this temperature until starch conversion is complete. Raise temperature up to mash out at 168 °F (76 °C) then begin to lauter. Boil for 60 minutes adding a pinch of hops at the beginning of the boil just to control the foam. With 5 minutes remaining, add all the spices with the exception of the cinnamon sticks. Chill the wort down to yeast pitching temperature. Aerate the wort and pitch the yeast. Hold at 50 °F (10 °C) for the duration of primary fermentation. After primary is complete, add the cinnamon sticks and hold for 10 days. Slowly chill to 45 °F (7 °C) over 24 hours then bottle or keg.

Notes: Justert versjon
- den originale oppskrifta på bazooka ble kalibrert opp til 50 liters speidel. Ble da totalt nesten 16 kg malt...
Justert ned til 0,835 av den oppskrifta.
Brygger med mindre malt og samme mengde vann. Tar sikte på at vi havner innafor mtp bedre utbytte.

7515 g Muntons Pale Ale
2004 g Castle malting munich light
2004 g Castle malting munich
334 g Castle malting Cara gold
167 g Warmeister pale Chocolate
1002 g castle malting melanoid

I utgangspunktet ble også humlemengden nedskalert - men det skal den jo ikke gjøres. Settes tilbake til opprinnelig mengde 15/9.

Endres igjen 6/1-16: Justere maltmengden til 12 kg. Fortsatt normal vannmengde. Går tilbake til kilden i boken og dobler humlemengden ihht det som står der.

Notes: OC Fair 2016 - Honorable Mention - rated 35.6 (category 28b)
brew day - 06/17/2015
yeast starter - 1 liter at 100 grams

Mash Efficiency
2 Row - 37 x 7 / 6 = 43
WW - 37 x 2 / 6 = 12.3
FW - 36 x 1 / 6 = 6
Total - 61.43
PPG = 1.030*6 / 10 = 18 (target 30ppg)
Efficiency = 18 / 61.43 = 30% - did a 75 min mash at 149 - not sure why the efficiency was so low.
Post Boil OG - hit target 1.055 - raised dextrose to 1lb from 1/2lb

appearance - thick white foam head (wheat proteins), active carbonation
appearance - pale golden straw to slight sunburst (bw honey), clear with slight cloudy (bottled unfiltered), sediment in bottom / last pour
aroma - earth, spice, slight fruit and floral
flavor yeast - complexity from Brett and slight sour - typical farmhouse with tempered funk
flavor bitter hops - willamette - peppery herbaceous with notes of floral / fruit
flavor / Aroma hops - willamette -fragrant, spicey, woody, herbal aroma - slight citrus to earthy, woody flavor - some fruit and floral notes
overall - an ode to the early American immigrants and Midwest farmers - seemingly simple from the outside but complex if you choose to go deeper. A bold pioneering spirit (spice and slight sour) for enjoying the freedom once expressed on America’s plains. Dry and sessional for a functional humid thirst quenching experience but as with history develops a richer complexity with age. It is born of hands from the earth (wood, herbal, floral, wheat) labored with authentic materials (leather, metallic) and finished with a mysterious and wild funkiness. Overall an easily approachable beer for new or old community bonding with enough depth to start a conversation.
