DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mash at 146°F (63°C) for 60 minutes. Recirculate until your runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops and yeast nutrient according to the schedule. After the boil, conduct a whirlpool step: Add whirlpool hops at 210°F (99°C), stir for 5 minutes to create a vortex, then allow 20 minutes to steep. Then chill wort to about 52°F (11°C), aerate thoroughly, and pitch plenty of healthy yeast. Ferment at 55°F (13°C) until the gravity reaches 1.016, then raise to 60°F (16°C) for diacetyl rest—total fermentation time should be about 2 weeks. Rack to secondary, crash to 35°F (2°C), and lager for 3 weeks. Package and carbonate to about 2.7 volumes of CO2.

BREWER’S NOTES
We started decocting Postcard about two years ago. The single-infusion method makes excellent beer, but we find that these steps offer a more complex malt profile and a more lasting impression.

Decoction Option: Mill the grains and mash at 131°F (55°C) for 20 minutes, then raise to 146°F (63°C) for 30 minutes, then to 158°F (70°C) for 10 minutes. Move up to one-third the mash volume to another kettle, bring it to a boil, and then mix it with the main mash. Mash out should be around 168°F (76°C). Then follow other directions as above.

Fermentation: This is another area where you can experiment. For example, we love the clean profile that 47°F (8°C) gives you, and there’s no need to adjust for a diacetyl rest that cold. We ferment most of our lagers that way, but for Postcard, we prefer the subtle fruity notes that the warmer fermentation gives us in conjunction with the hops.

Water profile: We prefer extremely soft water with minimal mineral content. This way the malt and hops shine in harmonious balance and aren’t fighting against any hardness on the palate.

Grist: If you can’t get Barke, use their base pilsner or experiment with your favorite imported variety. Another fun substitution could be malted corn, or try a cereal mash instead of using flaked. Enjoy!

Notes: Pitch three packages of liquid yeast per 5.5 gallons of wort. plus the additional 17.25 grams per 5 gallons of custom yeast saflager s23 rehydrated, pitch all yeast at 58 degrees. Start the primary fermentation at 54, wait 7 days and then ramp to 58, hold for 7 days. Check gravity if close to final then rack into secondary carboys, hold at 58 for one week, and begin to drop temp 5 degrees per day until you hit 40 degrees. Hold at 40 degrees for three to five weeks. Keg at 2.5 Enjoy

Notes: FG of a degassed (vacuum) sample of Drakonic is 1.017 which would indicate an approx OG of 1.084 with 8.75% & WL 001 yeast.

Straight from Drake's website...
Malt: American 2-Row Barley, Weyermann Carafa Special 3, Simpsons Caramel Extra Dark, Simpsons Chocolate, Simpsons Roast Barley, Patagonia Crystal 35
Hops: Bittering – Warrior
Yeast: White Labs 001
Original Gravity: 19.9 degrees Plato
Alc/Vol: 8.75%
IBUs: 40

3/16/17 Brew day: actual mash temps performed are above and main mash Ph was 5.55. Batch sparge was 5.68 Ph. Resulting wort was 5 gal at 1.047 OG for a 65.33% efficiency. Final vol 1.5 gal at 1.106. 70 IBUs Following day read 1.75gal at 1.116 so I diluted with boiled RO water to 2.2 gal at 1.092 and 45 IBU's Added DAP nutrient and shook it up well. BTW Nottingham says on the packet that aeration is not required. I just didn't want a stuck ferment on such a big beer, haven't had one that I recall but I've been brewing 10 years.

3/20/17 Update: The ferment was pretty crazy, luckily it was a small volume in a large container. It tastes sweet but my sample reads 1.014 adjusted which means I have achieved 82% attenuation and 10.2% ABV. Biggest beer I ever made! Planned OG was 1.085 and 40+ IBU's with a BU/GU ratio of .48; I now have a .50 ratio. Not to goal but a good achievement. I would bitter this to 60 IBU's at least if I planned this OG and attenuation.

4/24/17 Update: FG is 1.013 which gives 10.32% ABV. At racking the brew smells somewhat reminiscent of Drakonic but I have little care if it is since it's a different beast. More roast I desire...Lots of booze and some esters present. Can't wait to get my ferm chamber all set up.
