Notes: Adapted from https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/544741/pirate-life-pale-ale
Using new burner/stand with HP regulator (2kg/hr)
Heated 46L water in kettle to strike temp 76°C. Took approx 20mins from 45°C.
Turn off burner, Remove kettle from burner.
Added all grain in double bag. (Next time calculate total volume in kettle including grain volume, add heated water when necessary once grain removed).
Mash grain with spoon.
Insulate with quilts. Mash temp start 72°C. 60mins.
Mash grain with spoon once at approx 30mins.
Temp 67°C at 0mins.
After removing grain bag, added approx 9L water, pressed grain bag to extract maximum infused liquid. Temp dropped to 58°C. Took 90mins to reach 100°C!
Start 60min boil, added hops as per schedule. A Hop ball started bobbing up, need extra washers or other method to keep near bottom of basket.
Added immersion cooler 10mins boil. Chilled wort from 100°C to 25°C in 20mins. (need to figure method to enable fitment of lid over piping and install cooler into kettle without hitting thermometer).
Transferred to fermentor with racking tube, 35L.
A lot of grain particles in solution, maybe from extra extraction with spoon?
Rehydrated 2 x yeast packs with 250ml water.
1052OG measured
Dry hopped 44g Cascade and 61g Mosaic day 10.
FG1008 day 13. Cold crashed @ 2°C for 5 days.
Kegged 2 x kegs day 17.

Notes: Formerly known as "Life of Pi-rate (LiPi)"
Batch #5 - 9/11/19 - (Eff. 59%, Att. 73%, ABV 7%, Bat. Vol. 22L)
- Switched to US05 yeast x3 packs dry pitched at 28C into aerated wort, had to rush out and didn't have time to re-hydrate and cool to normal temp.
- Simcoe 10min switched to cryo from pellet to be 8 IBU's.
- Simcoe 0min switched to cryo 10g from 15g pellet.
- Simcoe dry hopped switched to 30g cryo from 50g pellet, 25 AAU's.
- Columbus dry hopped switched to 30g cryo from 50g pellet, 23 AAU's.
16/11/19 - SG:1019 , dry hopped.
21/11/19 - FG:1019, cold crashed, tastes good.
23/11/19 - Kegged and carbed at 30 psi for 2:45 min.
30/11/19 - Tastes dank and resinous, like an old school DIPA, great stuff
22/12/19 - Finished the keg and it was a good batch, plenty of old school IPA hop flavours and no real hint of the ABV, Tim loved this one.
4/1/19 - Batch #4 - (57% Eff.)
- Switched Maris Otter to Gladfields American Ale Malt
- Switched to M44 West Coast Ale yeast (x3)
- Changed water profile to new (IPA/DIPA profile) upping sulphate to near 300ppm
- Batch volume at 20.5L, next time mash 32L (not 31.5)
- Temp. raised slowly to 20.C over the first few days.
19/1/19 - Returned from 2 weeks away to dry hop in a steel rocket, upped the Simcoe & Mosaic to 50g from 45g for convenience.
21/1/19 - FG: 1022 (higher than 1016 predicted.) Cold crashed to 1.C, tastes quite fruity but still a touch harsh. I'd like to dry hop longer next time. ABV. 7%
22/1/19 - Kegged with new better fit transfer line to minimise O2 exposure, carbed at 30psi for 2min30sec and left to sit at 30.
27/1/19 - Tasted on Hottest 100 Day, very hoppy, slight alcohol hint on the back end.
22/4/18 - Batch #3 (53% Eff.)
- Water profile "Light coloured & hoppy" (Gypsum 4g, Epsom salt 1g, Calcium chloride 3g)
- Switched from US-05 to White Labs San Diego Super Yeast WLP090 with a 1.1L starter 115g of DME for 24hrs, decanted down to 800ml then poured at 23C after aeration with drill.
29/4/18 - SG:1014 and dry hop added
16/6/18 - Tasted and smelled great.
19/11/17 - Batch #2 (My System)
- Low Colour Floor Malted Maris used, rolled oats added
- Substituted Riwaka for Simcoe
- Added 1L of water post mash to adjust for lost volume in extra grain
- Pitched x2 packs of rehydrated yeast in 100mL water/100mL wort mix for 1 hour
- Really low efficiency (51.5%)
28/11/17 - SG: 1014, dry hopped
- Keg was carted all round the east coast for 2 weeks and still tasted great, love this beer, no hint of how strong it it is, this thing is an assassin.
30/7/17 - Batch #1 (At Will's house)
- Bottled using drops into clear 1.25L bottles. Tasted great out of the fermentor. 59% efficiency.
12/7/17
- Tastes similar to intended with heaps of tropical fruit in the aroma but not a huge resin hop hit. |

Notes: 14th April 2015 - Mashed at 65oC. Aimed for mash pH of 5.2 (predicted) using:
Lactic Acid (88%): 5.3 mL added to strike water.
23L at 1.035.
pH adjusted to 4.6 after running off to kettle. Bubbled CO2 through the wort to remove oxygen and then wrapped the surface with plastic wrap to avoid oxygen in headspace. Incubated for 10 days between 35-48oC till pH had dropped to 3.3. Added grain 3 times as seemed to stall at pH 4 for quite some time.
24th April 2015 - Boiled, chilled and fermented at 24oC with a brett / sacc starter from 2 bottles of Vieille Ville. 19L at 1.032. Some fermentation of sugars from lactic acid bacteria had reduced preboil gravity to 1.029...
Fri 15th May - Dry hopped with 42g Mosaic
Mon 18th May - Gelatine added to primary and fermentor cold crashed in a fridge set to -1oC.
Tues 19th May - Kegged and pressure set to 1 bar. FG 1.004 so 3.5% ABV.
Tastes great. Nice lactic tang, very drinkable. No apparent Brett character but could be over powered by the acid. No off flavors detected. Ever so slight "grainy" aftertaste that I get in a lot of berliner weisses. Not sure what it is, but at a much lower level than a lot of commercial examples. |

Eric the Red
19 L, all-grain
OG = 1.052 FG = 1.011 IBU = 29 SRM = 23 ABV = 5.2%
A bold version of an Old World beer style, influenced by "wild" hops from the new found land.
Ingredients
4.5 kg British pale ale malt (3 °L)
85 g crystal malt (90 °L)
198 g roasted barley (300 °L)
8 AAU Columbus hops (60 mins) (19 g of 12% alpha acids)
White Labs WLP001 (California Ale) or Fermentis US-05 dried yeast (1 L starter for liquid yeasts)
Step by Step
Mash at 67 °C. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops with 1 hour left in boil. Chill the wort rapidly to 19 °C, let the break material settle, rack to the fermenter and aerate thoroughly. Pitch the yeast. Ferment at 19 °C. |
