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: All volumes are HOT volumes and no shrinkage calculations have been performed. 8.25 gallon boil size becomes a HOT 6.75 gallons in the kettle, after a boil-off of 1.5 gallons. All efficiencies are calculated hot. 6.75 gallons shrinks by 4% to become 6.48 gallons. 1 gallon is lost to hoses and chiller to become 5.48 gallons, which goes into the fermenter. With 0.5 gallons lost in the fermenter to yeast and trub, 5 gallons goes into the keg.
Chose RVA 261 (vs 262 which is a Wyeast 3711 equiv) because of personal correspondence with the company and this note at http://www.milkthefunk.com/wiki/Saccharomyces#RVA_Yeast_Labs.
Strike water infusion volume is 5.1 gallons. Sugar is a late addition, 10 minutes remaining in boil.
Average PPG (not including sugar) is 37 pt*gal/lb. 37/46 = 80%. R = 1.7 x 2.09 = 3.55. e/(e+R) = 0.80/(0.80+3.55) = 18.3 Plato = 1.075 SG = expected maximum mash gravity.
12 lbs (ex. sugar) x 37 ppg x 0.88 + 0.31 lbs (sugar) x 46 = 404 points into the kettle. 404 / 8.25 = 1.049 pre-boil sg. (HOT). 8.25 gallons / 6.75 gallons * 49 = 1.060 sg. 4% shrinkage = 4% increase in SG, SO... into the fermenter estimated gravity is 1.062.
0-minute hops addition means "add at flameout." (For hopping during whirlpool chilling.)
Chill wort to 80 degrees and pitch 1 vial of RVA 262 (Wyeast 3711 equivalent-Brasserie Thiriez,). Place temperature controller inside thermowell, set to 80. Use FermWrap.
