Notes: Mash & steeping: The mash is acidified to a pH of 5.4 with phosphoric acid.

I'm assuming low efficiency because I use most of the second runnings either for another brew or for starters (and it's easier to control; i.e., stop sparging at the right point).

Between 15 and 17 gravity points should come from the table sugar and the rest from the malt, regardless of the actual percentages (i.e., the gravity without the sugar should be around 1.074). Different proportions will yield different final gravities. This proportion gets me the closest to the desired FG (~1.013 down from ~1.090), with this mash schedule.

Sugar: The dark sugar I use is made from the reaction of glucose with a specific amino-acid combination at high temperature and controlled pH. It is made in very small but super concentrated batches to avoid over-pyrolising the sugars. Colour is approximate. One could use a part dark candi syrup and a part sucrose (matching the colour) to get similar results.

Fermentation & conditioning: Pitching rate is possibly between 0.5 Mc/ml/°P and 0.75 Mc/ml/°P but not sure exactly (I've established it empirically based on how I grow my yeast, and I know that this yeast can take it, but other yeasts produce bad alcohols at this same pitching rate). Pitched between 18°C and 20°C in a well oxygenated wort. It is allowed to rise to up to ~21°C in the first 24 hours and up to ~24°C in the next 24 hours. After that it can rise up to 28°C with no problem. It is held at peak temperature for a few days until primary fermentation is almost complete. Then it is cooled down slowly for a couple of days and transferred to secondary and conditioned cool for ~6 weeks.
Then it is bottled with fresh yeast and conditioned warm for the first couple of weeks. Ready to drink after a few weeks in the bottle.

Spices:

Notes on WLP005 Yeast:

Bottom fermenting ale yeast. White Labs recommends keeping in primary until fermentation is complete. Known as "ringwood". Esters and Fusel Alcohol noticeable. Best at 68 F. Over will increase ester and fusel alcohol notes. 7-10 fermentation. Serve-able within 2 weeks.

Ideas for V4
- Longer Mash , 90 min. Temp swing will spend more time in lower 150's, upper 140's. More fermentable sugars = dryer finish. Full bodied porter with dry (non-sticky) finish would be tasty)

Changes from V3 to V3.1 (Gordon Strong suggestions)
- Crystal 60 up to 1 lb
- Brown down to .5 lb
- Infusion Mash at 151
- Ferment at 62, move it to 68 to finish, will make for a very clean profile

Changes from V2:
- Slightly expanded grain bill. Attempting to reduce some of the roasted-coffee qualities.
- Different hop profile to lower IBU's, balance porter more in favor of malt.
- Change over to Vanilla Extract for better vanilla flavor control
- Changing Cinnamon/Vanilla addition to Primary to increase presence

Changes from V1:
- Focused grain bill
- Removal of Roasted Barley in favor of Flaked Oats for less dryness, more silkiness
- Addition of Carapils for body
- Focused Hop bill - change to Northern Brewer for cleaner bittering
- Original Yeast blend was a limited offering. Change to British Ale Yeast WLP005

Notes: Of all the lagers I've made, this is the closest to commercial pilsners and is very similar to Peroni, Budweiser, Corona etc. It benefited from spending a few weeks in an outdoor shed in winter - a few freezing nights helped make it very bright and clear.

To make the lager dry and crisp, the recipe uses quick-cook rice and quick-cook polenta (the nearest things I could find in the drop-down menu were "flaked rice" and "grits", but I didn't use these). Because these adjuncts are "quick cook", they don't need a cereal mash - they just need to be cooked to make them mushy and expose the starch.

First prepare your water (profile light colored and malty). Then take a few litres out of it to boil the rice and polenta as per intructions on the packet. Let the pan of mushy rice + polenta fall to strike temp and simply tip it into the tun with the mash water at same strike temperature. Easy.

I did a full-volume mash for convenience and to save time. Efficiency will be a bit higher if you sparge.

Notes: I've been sad that I couldn't do all grain because I only have a 5 gal pot. Then I realized that I can absolutely do a smaller batch to get my feet wet until I can afford that big brew kettle. So I built the mash tun and made an immersion chiller while I was at it. I created the recipe using Brewtarget and scaled for the 4.5 gal maximum I could boil.

Anyway, this is what I came up with for my first all grain brew. I wanted to keep it simple and basic. We'll see how it tastes and then work on repeating it. Once I can repeat it well I will begin with simple modifications. Then I will take over the world.....or just drink beer.

So far I've learned a lot. The mash process was fun and interesting. I will be working on reducing liquid loss in the tun for sure.

Fermentation just didn't seem to be happening. The yeast packet says to just sprinkle on the wort. Instead I took about a third of the packet and stirred it in, sprinkled the rest on top. Wort was at 73*, right in the range the yeast had called for. Nothing.

By Tuesday I decided to buy another packet of yeast. Sprinkled all on top. Two more days of nothing.

Then I brought the fermenter in to the kitchen. Within 30 minutes the airlock was speaking to me. Within two hours it was speaking loudly. It seems that this yeast doesn't like the cold of the 56* beer closet. The kitchen is always either 68* or 62* (programmable thermostat for the house) and it likes this much better.

So now that I have a 10 gallon pot and grain mill on order, I know what the next area of focus will be. It's time to start thinking about temperature control. I want to do it as green a possible. Insulation. Digital temperature monitoring and control using the Arduino. Could be fun.

Update: A week after bottling we tried two of these. The beer is amazingly clear with a color that is a very dark amber, not quite brown. There is a very fruity smell. Unfortunately they both tasted like vinegar. I'm not sure the cause, maybe sanitation. Maybe too high of fermentation temp? Maybe I got overanxious and overpitched the yeast? I'm thinking that it had something to do with the point at which I added that second packet of yeast and that the vigorous fermentation could have been a clue that something went wrong.

Notes: Mengden meske- og skyllevann du bør bruke kommer an på utstyret og metoden du brygger med. Som et anslag kan vi si at du kan bruke 40 l meskevann og 28 l skyllevann til dette ølet. Noen bryggemaskiner (f.eks. Speidel Braumeister) kan kreve større mengder meskevann. Sjekk alltid manualen på utstyret du bruker.

Mesking på 66 grader i 60 min. Utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min hvis du har mulighet til å øke temperatur i mesken.

Kjøl ned til 17 grader før pitching av gjær.

Gjæring på 18 grader til stormgjæring begynner å avta (typisk etter 3-5 dager). Øk deretter til 20 grader og hold resten av gjæringsperioden (totalt 14 dager). Tørrhumle etter 5 dager.

Gjæralternativer: WLP001, WLP007, WLP008, WLP041, WLP051, WLP090, Danstar Nottingham
