Notes: Brewed on 10/10/2020. BIAB Method.
Strike vol = 8.25 gallons, temp = 157 degrees F to yield mash temp = 151.5 degrees F.
SG = 9.2 Brix = 1.0367 g/L (7.5 to 7.75 gallons after mash).
OG = 10.8 Brix = 1.043 g/L
FG = 1.008 g/L
At 15 minutes I added 1 whirlfloc tablet.
At 1 minute I added 16 grams of wet hops (mix of cascade and magnum) from my hop vines.
3.2 lbs (2L) of blackberries hand picked by Iris and myself at Putah Creek Reserve. Website says blackberries have gravity = 1.030 g/L.
Gravity on 10/14/2020 was 5.2 brix which after correction = 1.007 g/L Hydrometer said gravity = 1.008 g/L
Actual ABV somewhere around 5 to 5.5%. |

Notes: Add 1/4 tsp of amylase to raise diastatic power to compensate for low-enzyme grain bill. Started w/ Bill's Double Chocolate Milk Stout as a reference recipe.
2 weeks after bottling very bitter/roasty and unbalanced. Definitely will want to dial back roast barley by half (or even all), and ditch some of the chocolate malts as well. Might also need to adjust water chemistry (most notably pH toward the alkaline) for future attempts as well. |

| Notes: Mash at 151. Do a flameout for 20 minutes then do a hop stand at 155 for 30 minutes. Chill to 70 and pitch yeast. Raise temp to 80 during fermentation. My dry yeast expired 1 month before I brewed this so I added 1.5 packs of yeast. |

Notes: Work in progress. Not started brewing the first batch yet.
Our brown Labrador is named Bilbo, it's well past time for a tribute beer. What could be more fitting than a British Brown Ale? I want the fruity/raisin-y taste from Special B, thus the name Bilbo Special.
This batch:
Infusion mash got a bit too hot, ended up with 67 C for 60 min.
FG seems to stall at 1.020, resulting in ABV 4.2 (~4.4 - 4.5 with bottle conditioning). End result will probably be somewhere between a modern British Brown Ale and a London Brown Ale; a sweet and somewhat fruity British Brown Ale. Not bad, but not adhering to a specific style. |

Notes: At 0min boil add 1g nutmeg and allspice; 8g Ceylon cinnamon; 4g powdered ginger and vanilla extract
After Primary add 1.4kg dried fruit (raisin, apricot, cherries... whatever) and the zest of two oranges and two whole cloves. Pour boiling water over it and let cool and plump. Ferment with this for two more weeks. Then rack off the fruit, wait to settle then bottle/keg. Age 6 months or more.
Notes: Prepare the secondary ingredients IN the carboy and pour the boiling water in. It is difficult adding fruit into the small opening of a glass carboy. OR I may try blending it all - the small bits kept clogging the wine thief. With all the fruit left, I only packaged 17.3L. Still good, though!
Tried after 6 months - may reduce the orange and up the vanilla. Maybe even a "maltier" addition to make it bread like. |
