Notes: This my take on the Madtree Rubus Cacao Recipe but instead of using Raspberry, I have substituted Blueberry puree. The name is inspired from Violet Beauregarde from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Malt bill increased by 25 percent to accommodate decreased efficiency from BIAM

Notes: Add 500mg potassium metabisulphite to 20 gallons water to remove chlorine/chloramine (as required).
Water treated with brewing salts to: Ca=110, Mg=18, Na=16, Cl=50, S04=279
(Basically Randy Mosher's ideal Pale Ale numbers with slightly less Sulphate).
1.5 qt/lb mash thickness. Single infusion mash at 150F for 90 mins. Mashout to 168F.
60-90 min fly sparge with ~6 pH water. Collect 14.9 gallons in the boil kettle.
Boil for 90 minutes. Lid on at flameout, start chilling immediately.
Cool wort to 66F and aerate well. Ferment at 66-68F until complete.
Add dry hops once fermentation is nearing completion (ie: below 1.015). Dry hop for 7-10 days total.
Rack to brite tank (secondary), crash chill to near freezing (if possible), add 1 tsp of unflavoured gelatin dissolved in a cup of hot distilled water per 5 gallons of beer, and let clear for 2-3 days.
Package as you would normally. I keg and carbonate on the low side (around 2 to 2.2 volumes of C02) to minimize carbonic bite and let the hop/malt flavour come through.

If you prefer to use liquid yeast, either of these is an excellent choice as they are the same clean fermenting Chico strain as US-05:

Wyeast 1056 American Ale (Buy at: Amazon, MoreBeer, HighGravity, AiH, OBK)
White Labs WLP-001 California Ale (Buy at: Amazon, MoreBeer, HighGravity, AiH, OBK)

Notes: Varm opp til vannet har nådd 71 grader, ha oppi posen og deretter maltet(kornet). Pass på at den ikke klumper seg. Da vil temperaturen falle til ca. 66 grader. La stå i en time. Prøv å holde temperaturen jevn med å isolere med f.eks. ei dyne.
Når det har gått 60 minutter snørper du sammen posen og lar den renne av seg over kjelen. Sett gjerne ei rist i mellom. Skyll over med skyllevannet.
Sett så varmen på fullt og vent til det starter å koke. Kan fort ta opp til 45 minutter før det starter å koke, kommer an på effekten. Ha oppi humle når det begynner å koke. Følg oppskriften.
Når det har kokt i 45 minutter har du oppi vørterekjøleren (15 før kokeslutt).
Når det har kokt i 60 minutter skrur du av varmen. Kjøl så ned vørteren og før det over til et godt vasket og desinfisert gjæringskar- husk å desinfisere slangen.
Ha oppi gjæra (bare strø den forsiktig over toppen) og risk karet godt i 5 minutter for å få inn oksygen. (Dette er viktig).
Lå stå i to uker, for så å flaske ølet med 6 gram sukker per liter øl. Blandes ut som en sukkerlake i omstikkingskaret. La flaskene stå romtemp i to uker for karbonering før de kjøles og serveres. Nyt! :-)

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: Total preboil volume of 7.5 gallons after top off. Ended with just barely 5 gallons into FV. Next time need to adjust recipe and water volumes for higher %boil off per hour and likely need about 1+ gallon after mash to make up for volume difference.

Started fermentation at 55F on 3/30
FG 1.009 on 4/21
