Notes: 1) Treated water and got strike water up to 160 before mashing in. Mash was fairly straightforward but had to heat a couple times as mash sat around 152-154. I stirred 15 mins in and raised the heat to get up to 154 then let mash rest for the remaining mash time.

Mash PH: 5.7

2) Boil went as planned, added hops as recipe called for. I did make a last minute decision to add the 5 min boil hops, but pulled those out of what would've been all whirlpool. Thought it might impart a little more flavor.

3) With 5 mins left in boil, I added the corn sugar and boil hops then at end I immersion chilled to 160 and dropped the whirlpool for 30 mins.

4) I continued chilling which got to about 80F then transferred to the fermenter, moved to temp controlled ferm chamber to cool to 68F before pitching yeast.

OG: 1.064 - missed by .02 from recipe - I did measure this when the wort was still about 80 degrees and was filled with trub so not sure if that had an impact...

5) After temp was stable at 68F, I pitched the ballooned packet of activated yeast and shook the fermenter like hell. *Thanks amazon for not delivering my aeration kit today as you were supposed to...

6) 12 hours in and fermentation is going very strongly. I have a blow-off tube in a jug of sanitizer that is bubbling every 5 seconds. I'll continue to check ensuring their is no clogging from krausen.

7) Dropped Dry Hop as scheduled and pulled a samp!e at 7 days to check gravity. Its reading 1.010 which is off target. Beer tastes very good though. Checked again 2 days later and its still at 1.010 and even better aroma and taste with the second dry hop kicking in.

8) Lowered temp to 38 to cold crash for 2 days to prior to kegging.

9) Kegged with no issues and set carbonation to 2.3 vols. I sampled after 4 days and it's fantastic. Nice milky/pillowy mouthfeel, slight bitterness, and tastes like straight Orange juice.

Notes: BIAB notes:

7.90 gal of strike/mash water needed at 161 deg F.
Add grains in bag, stir and steep for 60 min.
Wrap kettle in towels and keep covered. Temp should stay consistent around 153 F. After mash, turn on burner, stir grains and get temp to 170 F. At 170 F, cut heat and let set for 15 min.
Remove grains and let drain into kettle.
Start 60 min boil and hop addition.

Notes: Important

I recommend for High-gravity a Double Mash method for Braumeister 20l, efficiency 65 % for that

Instructions

. First Mash:
Half of the grains whitout black malt in the pipe, make
the Sparge to reach 25 L for that 4l sparge warter.

. Second Mash:
Other half of the grains in the pipe with black malt in the last 40 minutes will prevent the extraction of hash tannins in your beer

Aerate the wort with pure oxygen or filtered air and pitch 2 American ale II

.First fermentation at 17 to 20 c˚ 15 days
.Secondary fermentation 10 days at 20 c˚ "Optional 30g Coconuts Nibs in the hopbag"

.Cold crash "15 days" at 0c˚

Cheers!!

Notes: - made this last spring (2017) and it was delicious
- keeping munich/vienna at 20% each
- bumped up late hops and switched to saaz from saphir
- going a bit higher ABV at 7% (expected)
- water recommendation is a bit high. ended up with a lot of extra wort last time and lower efficiency. Use about 30-32L next time instead of 34
- dropped Vienna for the 2019 version; not expecting too much of a difference if it's even noticeable at all.
- 2020: changed to 20% Munich II (10°L)
- 2022 version came out more like a Märzen with 27% barke munich. Dialed that back to 13% for next time. Also I've been using Sterling for bittering/FWH addition as it seems to have slightly more assertive bitterness than Magnum.
- 2023: 13% Munich is really nice, actually tastes like a Heller bock. keeping that ratio.
- 2024: 12% barke munich, double batch hit 75% efficiency finishing at 16°P
- 2025: cut out 1kg of pils, added more munich for ~15% since 2024 batch came out too high. shooting for 6.5%
- 2025 batch came out too low! added more malt back, ended up with ~70% efficiency. still shooting for 6.5%

Notes: After primary fermentation add 100gr defrosted raspberries per liter for a secondary fermentation.
After secondary fermentation cold crash to let the fruit drop.

Bottling options (individual bottles):
- bottle with cold brew coffee (guideline: 3% of volume)
- bottle with vodka based chili tincture (depends on tincture strength)

Cold brew coffee:
- use 500gr coarse milled beans with 2ltr water (1:4).
- Mix, steep for 24-48 hrs in fridge, strain, store refrigerated upto 2-4 weeks.
