Notes: I read that German munich malt is somewhat undermodified, so this seems like a perfect recipe for a triple decoction.

Notes: Revised recipe based off of my first brew of Atomic Pumpkin.
12 tablespoons (=3lbs pumpkin) of Drybox Jarrahdale Blue Pumpkin Powder at mash.
Added 2 cut habanero peppers in bag at 20 minutes.
Add brown sugar at 15 minutes.

Notes: tap water 7.5 gallons
5ml lactate
3 g ca cl
mash ph 5.4 calculated

tried to do overnight step mash, starting cold, then ramp up, but the GF stalled at 90F for a few hours and basically stayed there for 6 hours. there was scorching on the burner so i transferred to the other GF. Then ramped up (with grains in place) and mashed at 152 for 45 minutes, then mash out at 167 for 5 minutes.

at end of boil, whirlpooled for 3-4 minutes, let it sit for 20-30 to settle (I was still prepping my FV)

Chilled to 70. closed off the keg FV and left it till that night. Pitched probably around 65-70. No starter just the wyeast smack pack thing.

Day 0 (March 3 2017) home from work very active fermentation, gonna keep ramping the temp up to high 70 to get it to finish out.
Day 2 72F the very active ferm now modestly active.
Day 3 74F
Day 4 77F - still a nice slowconstant bubble
Day 7 79F - stopped bubbling, SG 1.012
Kegged with CBDS and carbed for Molly's show

bubblegum, cirtusy bitterness, some bite maybe pepper like.

Notes: Split batch - 5.5 gallons Kolsch ale yeast, 5.5 gallons Belgian (Wyeast 3655).

Kolsch - 2L starter + Clarity Ferm. This half gets the fridge. Start on the cool end for 4-5 days, bump up to finish out, then cold crash for a couple of weeks.

Belgian - 2L starter, but keep 500ml aside. Pitch at 65F, then allow to free-rise at cellar temp.

We will need Fermcap for this one before the boil.

Notes: Black malt added with second hop addition to copper (boil) definitely resulting in higher SRM than recipe states (target is 38 SRM.)

Mash in 2 gallon Igloo with paint strainer, adding 3/4 quart boiling water midway through mash. Boiled in Leyse 6 quart kettle. Target OG was 1.052, efficiency was higher than anticipated so actual was 1.056 / 70%. Next batch will need to be modified for closer OG to original.

Cooled to 63F, pitched 2 grams Safale S-04. Ferment at 63F for one week.

Notes: 11L for strike water accounting for 2.2L of grain absorption. (Rule-0.6G for 6 lbs of grain). Assuming 8.8L after.

After grains were placed in strike water, it was 158F - way too high. Added cold water from tap to get it down to 151.3 @ 52 minutes. Then, 151.0 @ 40, 150.8 @ 30, 149.0 @ 20, 147.9 @ 10, 146.3 @ 5. Mashed out for 10 minutes @ 168. Dunk sparge for 10 minutes @ 170.

Estimated 6.2L for dunk sparge, but actually got 8L. This made 16.8 (4.4G) in pre-boil Wort. SG was 1.034 @ 126F which equates to 1.044 actual SG. Apparently this is 86.83% pre-boil efficiency. Really high if it is true. On second thought, maybe my grain absorption was much higher. If I correct my pre-boil wort to 4.0 gallons, I get 78.22% - pretty much spot on with post-boil efficiency.

Assuming typical boil off rate is 14% it makes more sense. 14% of 4 gallons is 0.56 gallons, which roughly comes to 3.5 gallons in the fermenter.

Post-boil OG was 1.050! Pitched yeast @ 22C @ 9pm and will begin adding ice bottles at 7am in the morning. Reading in the ice bath is 20C, so will assume +2 for the fermenter, plus the traditional 3C for 1.050 OG and for the increased temps from ferm.

With 3.5G (maybe 3.4) of post-boil wort @ 1.050 OG, I have a brewhouse efficiency of 77.78% (or 75.56%). Why is it less than pre-boil efficiency?

First bottle on 07/28. Lots of head, although it dissipates after some sips. First impression is that it is very carbonated and sweet. Aroma has huge banana notes which will hopefully die down with age. This is probably because of the high and variable ferm temps. Does this mainly affect the aroma and not the flavour? I should also check my carbing process next time...

Side-by-side: 08/03 (Granville Island Hefe)

App: Mine is a straw gold colour, GI has a distinct orange hue. Both have same level of haziness and mine shows greater signs of carbonation.

Smell: Mine smells predominately like rotten bananas with a little bubblegum. I can chalk this up to the higher and variable ferm temps. GI is much more pleasent - citrus and banana, also with bubblegum.

Taste: Mine tastes better than it smells. Sweet and carbonated. Light banana notes. Gi is also very sweet but less carbonated. Much more of a bubblegum taste. Both are quite different but good in their own ways.

MF: Both have light body with medium high levels of carbonation. However, GI is a little bit heavier on the tounge.

Overall: I have to side with GI, mainly because of the aroma, given everything else equal.

Notes: To reduce the oils brought in by the shredded coconut, I covered with paper towels and baked in the oven for about 20 minutes on each side @ 300F and patted down with a paper towel again before putting in the fermenter. Not worried about infection at that point due to the beer already being alcoholic and the paper towel + coconut having been baked at 300F.

Super sessionable, great summer beer.
