Notes: pitched dreggs of Jester King's ol' oi, petite prince and RU 55 along with a vile of white labs London ale yeast. Primary fermentation for 4 weeks, secondary for 4 weeks. Rerack onto 1 oz french oak chips let sit for at least two months. Longer if more sourness is desired. lower below 20 IBU for even more sourness.

Notes: Recipe Notes:

2-Row: Base malt, slightly toastier malt flavour well-suited for pale ales.

CaraMunich I: Results in increased fullness, heightened malt aroma, full, round flavor, deep, saturated color. Own: sweeter but lighter bread notes than victory.

Victory: Use up to 15% in a mash. Gives deep gold to light brown color and biscuity, toasty, baking bread, and nutty flavors. Excellent for brown ales. Own: very baking bread-y, absolutely delicious when biting into.

Amarillo: Alpha 6-9%. Amarillo hops are a new classic for hoppy American ales. Combines floral, tropical, citrus and grapefruit notes. Quality late addition hop and for dry-hopping.

FF: A flavour and aroma hop with distinct tropical, citrus, floral, grapefruit and lemon notes. A versatile hop that can be used in almost any pale brew; Lager, Kolsch, ESB, Pilsner, IPA, Pale Ale & Belgian Ales.

Willamette: A quality aroma hop and a popular American-grown version of Fuggles. Often used in both American and British style ales, this hop produces flavours/aromas of earthy, fruity, floral, and slightly woody. Great multi-purpose home brewing ingredient.

Nelson Sauvin: High Alpha Acid, dual-purpose hop known for it's white wine fruitiness and flavours of crushed gooseberry. This distinctive hop derives it's name from Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Great for American IPA's, Pale Ales, Pale Lagers. Beer ingredient for home beer making.

Yeast: A classic in American ale yeast that offers excellent fermentation performance. Quick, clean and well- attenuating are the chief properties of this ale yeast. Most comparable to "Chico"-style strains. Stays clean, even at slightly higher than average temperatures (up to 78F). Higher flocculation than most other strains of the style.

BIAB Procedure

Brew365 calculator.

Parameters:
Batch size 3.2 g
Trub loss 0.5 g
Mash thickness 1.5qts/lb
Grain temp 70 f
Wort shrinkage 4%
Grain absorption 0.13g/lb
Boil off 15%

1. Start with strike water of 8.2L (2.16G) @ 164F.
2. Put in 5.75 lbs of grains.
3. Rest at 153F for 60 mins.
4. Assuming grain absorption of 0.13G/lb, should end up with 1.38G in brew kettle.
5. Prepare for dunk sparge by adding 11.8L (3.13G) to secondary brew kettle. Add grain bag for 15 minutes @ 170F. Squeeze.
6. Begin partial mash out in primary brew kettle for 15 minutes @ 170F.
7. Add sparge water to primary brew kettle. This should result in 4.5G of pre-boil wort.
8. Begin boil as usual

Went from 8.2L to 5.9L for mash. Dunk sparge was 11.8L, assuming 11L after sparge, roughly about 4.5G pre-boil.

Pre-Boil Gravity reading: 1.02 @ 145F

Once again, my thermo broke, just as I was about to re-hydrate my yeast. What can explain this!? I'll just pitch dry now. I have never had ill effects in the past.

Very active signs of fermentation in the fridge by Sunday afternoon (08/03), but it probably started earlier. It should be done NO LATER than Friday (08/08).

08/06: Gravity reads 1.013. Begin dry hopping. The taste is actually quite fruity - much more than I expected. Very light body, but maybe that will change with the C02. Hopefully it turns out alright.

Update: Tried kegging for the first time. I wanted to force carb it by shaking it, since Rob and Sean were supposed to come up. I didnt fully connect the gas line to the co2 regulator, so I think I exposed the beer to oxygen when force carbing. Came out tasting terrible. Next, time I'll really check my connection and force carb it over 2-3 days rather than 15 minutes.

Notes: Moved it to a secondary after 7 days with 0.5 kg of Raspberries and a yeast started made from Cantillon bottle dregs (Rosé de Gambrinus and Kriek). Left it there for 16 days and bottled it.

This is an experimental Black IPA I've designed for St.Patrick's Day, but in reality, I won't get the best from it until the Summer after a lengthy bottle conditioning period.
It will be interesting to taste the Rye in this. From the product description from Weyermann it seems it should play nicely, but if it adds the earthy spiciness I've heard, it will add an interesting twist...or just make for a beer with an identity crisis. Who knows?
Brew day 28/01/18. No problem with mash temps, but efficiency not there yet. Ended up 8 liters into the fv with og 1.050...quite away from target 1.063...

Notes: The aim in this hop regime is to try to emulate the flavours of the classic modern American APA hops, but have pulled back on the last minute additions of Citra, that I found imparted a cat pee funk when dry hopped in my Emerson's Pilsner clone. All late hops are done in bag to minimize hop residue in the brew. 1g of irish moss before end of boil. Brewed 2 Aug 2015. Yeast re-hydrated 2 hours before pitching. Yeast pitched at 18oC. Bubbling in air lock after 6 hours. Fermented in glass carboy.

End of Week 3: Taking along time to ferment out (G = 1016), probably due to the lower than anticipated fermentation temp of 12-14 dC. In week one the beer looked like it had separated: beer on top, then a layer of yeast, then more beer, then trub-like solids 1/4 way down. Raised temp to 18dC and yeast multiplied like crazy and bubbling increased. Lead to an excessive amount of gnarly looking krausen which only dropped out in week 3. Still, the beer tastes promising - slightly yeasty but clean enough and starting to clear. Will dry hop 15g Liberty for 3 days before bottling end of 4th week.

Final gravity 1016 - learned above problem possibly due to low mash temp (about 63 degrees C). Tastes fine. Est 16L. Bulk primed with 100g dextrin.
