Notes: Turned out nice. Lots of orange flavor with tropical undertones. Only thing I am changing is edited recipe to swap 1lb of DME with 1lb of sugar to dry the beer out a bit more. It was just a touch on the sweet side.

Notes: Brewed 23 April, 2025

Yeast is good for up to 90F, so probably no or minimal temp control, and need a blow off valve. BB date 01/2025, so used 8 ounce starter culture, rocking and rolling after 8 hours in the beaker, will pitch straight in once ready.

I had an extra .75# Pils so altered the mash bill to accommodate this. Originally has 8# 2 row, 2# pils & rye.

Mashed in for single infusion mash at 152F
took ph at 10m, got 5.6, added some acid.

took ph again, got 5.28

at about 90 minutes in, got 2x readings of 1.054. did 10 minute mash out, got 1.057.
Vourlauf : 1.057.
At this point I realize, I have not started the sparge kettle. Took about 30 minutes to get from 100-180F

Sparged to 8.1 gallons (also letting the malt pipe drain)
got 1.047. got almost 8.5 after malt pipe runnings.

ramped power up to 100 & temp to 198, held and began boil. Hop schedule started about 13:45

boiled 10 minutes and started hop schedule.

I inadvertently put the 10 min. hops in at 15 min. Caught it 2 minutes in, shortened the boil and last hop from 5 to 3
Hit 1.057 pre yeast pitch, 1.053 after. pitched at 82F
added 1.5# honey, got 1.059

First fermentation in the Blichman 14 gallon

Fermentation was intense and almost Kveik like. 24 hours after pitch, it was about 1.030. Later that day, it was in the 1.020’s at 88F, so I started both chiller circuits and cooled to 77F. This slowed the fermentation rate- but the blow off valve was still churning. Got down to 1.011-1.013 on the tilt and crashed it about 48 hours from pitching.

Will dry hop after either dumping the yeast or transferring to another fermenter.

Ambient temp was too warm to cold crash, never got below 40F and the yeast continued to work until 1.005 at about 40F.
Impressive. Of course, I harvested in case something interesting comes up soon.

Initial Tasting notes:
aroma is minimal; a hint of orange is all i get.
palette: Balanced, not residually sweet or overly bitter, but bitter enough to be easy to drink. Mouthfeel is good, as is the body, which belies the 1.005 FG. There is a slight spicy/grainy character to the finish; not grainy like 6 row malt, but in a flavor context. There’s a slight spice, but not peppery.

The yeast is barely noticeable, if at all. I get a slight aroma of orange and that’s it.

Revised tasting notes:
On the gas / in the keg for a few weeks, it’s a good beer. The orange aroma / flavor comes through nicely up front, as a ‘phenolic’ aroma, but calms down as the head dissipates.

Notes: Mash on the longer side (and maybe a little cooler - 150F or so) to encourage a more-fermentable wort.

You might also consider adding about half a pound of rice hulls to aid in filtering and avoiding a stuck sparge (thanks, huskless rye…), but I don't.

Aside from that, this is a pretty simple beer to make! Add your hops according to the schedule noted in the recipe, chill, pitch, and ferment at about 67F.

When you see the bubbling in your airlock more-or-less stop, add your dry hops (I use a free addition of pellets). Wait five days, cold crash, and then rack out from underneath any floating hops and package!

I like this beer with a solid amount of carbonation, so target about 2.5 volumes of CO2.
