Notes: Co-Pitched Goodbelly Lacto and Belle Saison at 70° and brought to 80 gradually over 5 days by adding 1° in the morning and 1° in the evening.

After 3 days a hop tea of 1oz Saaz and 1 oz EKG boiled in 2 cup of water for 10 minutes was then added for a small amount of hop flavor (we wanted the lacto to work for the first 3 days).

The fermenter was kept at 79-81 for 10 days after reaching the 80° mark and 5 gallons was kegged (leaving just hop matter, yeast and some juniper berries in the bottom along with a couple inches of cloudy beer.

4 oz of gin was added to the keg. This gin had been soaking for 2 weeks in an 8oz mason jar with a a few wine barrel stave chunks. This did not drastically change the flavor of 5 gallons of the beer but did add a small amount of gin/juniper flavor and overall complexity.

Notes: Used BF Starter Calculator: 9 oz light DME in 2.65L 24 hrs prior.
Brewed according to recipe. Started boil with 7.25 gallons in kettle.
OG = 1.054
Pitched starter and ended up with 6.75 in fermenter.
FG = 1.008
ABV = 6%
Bottled up 66 12 oz'rs
Recipe produced an excellent Amber Colored, Hoppy American Pale Ale.
This beer scored 42/50 and took 3rd place in a local homebrew contest. It was likely the simplest beer entered.
Sept 11: I have brewed this beer 3 times now. The last 2 times I used Omega's Voss Kveik in a starter. Brew Saturday, add 2nd dry hop on Wednesday, bottle the next Saturday. Still Excellent!

Notes: Add sugar and orange blossom honey with 2 min remaining in the boil

Ended up using 2 lbs of sugar and 1 lb orange blossom honey

Hit approximately 1.080 - reason was instead of using 8.8 gals of water i used 9 gallons and to save time, No mashout process step was used.

Notes: - make oak chip tea: pour off the boil water over chips and allow to soak and chill. Add water and chips to fermenter after activity has slowed.
- serve on cask/nitro
- no clarifiers, but after a while it will clear on its own
- dry hoptional

Notes: 1-2 days before brew day: Yeast start er (optional, but recommended)

Pitch Wyeast into a starter. A wine bottle or 22 oz beer bottle fitted with an airlock and #2 stopper works perfect. Use 1/4 cup malt extract in 8 oz of water for a starter wort. Boil 5 minutes, cool and pitch yeast.

Brew day:

Put your volume of water on to boil, usually 2-2.5 gallons, unless you have a wort cooling device. When water temperature reaches 150, add the adjunct malt grains in grain steeping bag. Hold temperature at 150-160 for 30 minutes. Stir the grains occasionally. After 30 minutes resume heat. When temperature reaches 170 remove or strain the grain out. Now add the extract.

You can let some hot water mix with the extract to help loosen it up and pour smoothly. Proceed on to full boil, and stir to prevent the extract from scorching on the bottom of the pot.

At full boil, 60 minute countdown:

At full boil, add the 2 oz of bittering hops and gypsum, and begin an hour countdown. As always, stir occasionally.

At 10 minutes:Add the 1 oz of hops.

At 5 mins:Add the 1 oz of hops

At 0 mins:Add the 1 oz of finishing hops

End of boil:

Shut off heat and begin to cool your wort as soon as possible. When wort is about 75 degrees, or when wort is cool enough to mix with water to reach about 75 degrees, pour and strain the wort into your primary fermenter. When pouring the wort into the primary, aerate as much as possible. You can accomplish this by dipping a sanitized container, such as a measuring cup into the wort and pouring back into the wort. Create as much foam and bubbles as you can for about ten minutes. Double check your temperature to be sure it is not above 80 degrees and take a hydrometer reading. Now pitch the contents of the yeast pack into the primary fermenter, cover, set-up the sanitized airlock and stopper assembly, and place the primary where it will remain around 68 degrees during fermentation.

Next 4 days:Your fermentation should begin after about 12 hours. From then on fermentation will peak then subside. After high krausen, you may opt to rack to glass secondary carboy.

Next 3 days: After 5 and 6 days take hydrometer readings. If no perceptible change in gravity occurs, you are ready to bottle. If the gravity keeps reducing, wait. If you are unsure wait one more day.

Bottling day: Be especially careful about sanitizing and racking at this stage! Thoroughly clean and sanitize bottles and caps. Preheat 3/4 cup corn sugar (dextrose) in a saucepan with 3-4 cup of water and bring to a quick boil. Carefully rack beer to a bottling bucket and swirl in corn sugar mixture. Be careful not to slosh around the beer, you don’t want to oxidize.

Bottle and cap. Store at room temperate to ensure good bottle fermentation.

10 days after bottling: Sample a beer. Be patient, you can try a bottle after about a week, but most beers, especially hoppy medium and high gravity beers, benefit from some aging. Enjoy!

Tips and fine-tuning:

-Try to boil and cool the largest possible volume you can manage.

-Varying the fermentation temperature will result in different flavors. Fermenting warm (up to 72 degrees)

will produce fruity, estery qualities. An LCD stick-on thermometer will allow you to monitor fermentation temperatures.

-Always be sure to sanitize every piece of brewing equipment, after you are finished with the boil. A 5 gallon utility bucket half filled with an iodine based “no rinse” sanitizer is convenient for this.

-Secondary fermentation in glass is recommended.

-If you boil a full wort volume, your hop efficiency will improve.
