Notes: Brewed on 11/10/2013. OG was right on the money.

Update 11/14/13 - fermentation had already started the morning after brew day (which is typical for me) and as of last night it's slowed down quite a bit - all of my ales usually ferment out fairly quickly (I rarely have one still active on the 4th day). So now it'll sit for at least another 10 days to 2 weeks before it goes to keg (I don't ever rack to a secondary any more - gave that up years ago).

Update 11/29/13 - I usually keg my beers and let them carbonate naturally over a week or so, but with all the rain and then the preparations for the holidays I ran out of time and had to keg and force carb this batch just in time for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, so it was just a tad cloudy (FG 1.015). It tastes like Full Sail but I don't have any on hand to compare, but it's delicious - I'll be brewing this one again, for sure!

Update 12/10/13 - the beer has cleared and the hops have mellowed a bit. This beer tastes fantastic! I'm trying to limit myself to just one whenever I go to the tap so that the 1st keg lasts through Christmas - I'm taking the 2nd one to a New Year's Eve party where I know it'll be a big hit!

If you're a fan of Full Sail Amber Ale, you will like this recipe. This is one terrific Amber Ale!

If you brew this, leave a comment and let me know what you think.

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 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
