Notes: Brewing for December brew club competition.
Using 2 Decoction mash.
Add candi sugar to last 15 minutes of boil.
100 day old garbage yeast from Northern Brewer caused me to have to have a multiple step starter to get to a good pitch rate.
1L and a 1.5L. Started about 5 days ahead of brew date to have yeast ready. |

Notes: Batch #1: Mashed at 152, dropping to about 149-150 after 30 minutes. Added 4 ml lactic acid for mash and 2.2 ml for sparge. 1.051 preboil gravity. 1.052 OG. 65 degrees when added to fermenter. Ferm temp should be around 45 degrees.
1.014 FG 1/20/24. Fermented around 45 for 3 weeks, and then temps got down below freezing (very cold!) and beer temp hovered around freezing. Guess I got a head start on lagering. Blowoff tube fell out of starsan, so may have introduced airborne bacteria. But freezing temps hopefully helped keep them at bay. Should keep beer around lager temps until serving to prevent infection. |

Notes: Brewed 9 Jun3 2020. Added 1 gal water as Vorlauf, then about 1 qt during boil. Raised water level in brewer to about 3 cm below top line. Right at 5 gal into fermenter. Added Belgian candi sugar at 12 min before end of boil. Yeast pitched at 68 F. 1.068 OG.
Tastes excellent out of Fermenter.
25 July-Time to go into fridge for cold conditioning. Sampled-smells fantastic-could use a little more carb-tastes really nice and rich with multiple dimensions-finishes with a dry lingering character (too much sugar?). Nice beer that should develop and smooth some with cold conditioning.
Next time will raise carb level to 2.9 vol.
Actual 1.69 OG. 1.012 FG. 7.34 ABV. Bottled 3 July 2020.
Would brew again exactly as is, but like to tinker so will add 1/4 lb Special B malt and probably switch out one dark candi sugar for one of the newly available 180s (extra dark) to get a little more complexity. It's a really good dark dubbel as is.
