Notes: Mill the grains and mash at 149°F (65°C) for 60 minutes.
While sparging, maintain the mash temperature at 149°F (65°C), and top up as needed to get about 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate.
Boil for 60 minutes, adding the hops according to the schedule.
After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate to create a vortex, add the hops, and allow 5 minutes to steep. Chill to about 84°F (29°C), aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast.
During fermentation, allow the temperature to free-rise as high as it wants to go, and avoid head pressure on the yeast—for example, instead of an airlock, loosely cover the top of the fermentor with a sanitized piece of foil or cheesecloth. Watch the kräusen; when it starts to fall, you can add the airlock.
Once the gravity has dropped to about 1.004 (1°P), pitch the Brett. Once the beer is bone-dry, add the dry hops for 3–5 days, then crash and remove the hops (or rack).
Carbonate to about 2.75 volumes of CO2 if kegging, or 3.2 volumes if bottle-conditioning—and we also add more Brett at bottling. Wait 2 weeks for a fresh, hoppy version of Bourgeois—or let it ride. We recently opened one that was 4.5 years old, and it tastes great.
BREWER’S NOTES
Water & pH: We shoot for a 2:1 chloride-sulfate ratio, and we adjust the pH in our kettle with lactic acid to knock out about 5.1.
Fermentation: Back pressure is the enemy of ester production. Our Brett culture started as a modified version of Omega OYL-218 All the Bretts, and now we re-pitch it from the dregs of bottles from our previous batch of Brett-conditioned beer we made. We think of the Brett as a seasoning, not as the main attraction of this beer. But these are all just guidelines—make it your own! |

Notes: NOTE: We are targeting only 5 bbl into the FV to ensure plenty of headspace for a vigorous fermentation.
run rakes during mash in and then for first 15 min of sacch rest while recirculating wort through vorlauf.
Let mash sit another 75 min (90 min total rest time) to ensure full conversion, then vorlauf for 15 min. We want this beer to be highly fermentable and finish relatively dry compared to the high starting gravity
Lauter and sparge very slowly taking between 60 to 90 min to collect 205 gal gal in kettle. note lower volume at start of boil due to targeting only 5 bbl. Start pump on lowest speed (20 or 25%) and restrict output to collect ~50 to 60 gal every 15 min. flow meter should read ~12 to 15 L/min
fermcap and first wort hops added to BK as it starts to fill
Note 90 min boil for DMS reduction with the high % of pilsner malt.
Add candi syrup with 60 min remaining in the boil
add yeastx, whirfloc, and dextrose with 15 min left in boil
whirlpool for 10 min. then let rest 15 min.
add ALDC to FV before knocking out.
knock out to target 64 F for start of fermentation. Set FV glycol control to 64 F. Oxygenate at 1 L/min for 90 min through carb stone in FV, or inline oxygenate at output of Hx at 1.5 L/min flow rate the whole time while knocking out.
repitch combo of WLP545 Belgian Strong Ale and WLP530 Abbey Ale yeast harvested from PB0180 Trappist Tripel. Pitch as much good thick slurry as possible (at least 50 lb) |
