Notes: Mash all Grains at 152 Degrees for 60 minutes.

Sparge grain and collect 4 Gallons of Wort.

At start of Boil add all Sugar(s) and first Hop addition.

At 10 minutes add second Hop addition along with Irish Moss and Yeast Nutrient.

At Flameout add last Hop addition and place in Ice Bath to cool to 70 degrees.

Aerate and pitch yeast. Ferment one week at FC 65 degrees,(Fermenting Wort at 70 degrees?) and then raise temp to 71 degrees to finish fermentation (2 weeks).

Bottle Condition for 3-4 weeks at ambient temp.

Actual OG: 1.077
Actual FG: 1.007

Placed in FC set @ 70 degrees. Wort Temp @ 71 degrees. 11:30am 9-7-15

Will drop FC temp to 65 degrees when activity starts.

This beer finished MUCH lower than I thought it would and finished at 9%+

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.

Notes: - increase ferment temp towards 68 if you want a little more banana (or pitch less which isn't recommended)
- you can just do a regular mash at 152, but the schedule here was derived using infusion calculator and based on Jamils recipe
- still do the boiling water infusion to hit mash out temp

- hard part is keeping ferment temp DOWN!!
- 62-65, then feel free to let rise to room after 5-7 days and bottle after 10

- prime to 2.7-3.0 volumes

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.
