Notes: Estimated Mash pH of 5.4
Actual Mash pH ended up 5.58

Preboil gravity = 1.061
Ending Gravity = 1.074

Preboil Volume = 4.6 Gal
Into Fermenter = 3.5 Gal (Dumped All)

Missed the FWH so adjusted the amount of Mt. Hood FWH to match the IBUs at 55 minutes.

Vitality starter of 2 packs yeast (both ~50% viable). 500-600 mL for 4 hours prior.
Cold crashed to 38 degrees then fined with gelatin for 3 days. Kegged and carbed for 3 days before serving.

Started @ 63-64 degress, ramped towards end of ferm to 68-69, then rested at 70 degrees for a week or so.

Also used wyeast nutrient to add zinc (and other stuff) to wort. Thought lack of zinc might be a potential cause of acetaldehyde (green apple).

Grain Absorption = 0.11 Gal/lb
Boiloff ~ 1.0 gal/hr
Grist Ratio = 2.13 qt/lb
Wort Shrinkage ~ 2.8%

Mash went to top of pot and spilled over a bit. Reduce future batches to 3.25 gallons.

TO DO NEXT TIME:

-Start heating wort while draining to lock in enzymes as opposed to mash out. Letting the wort cool changes enzyme composition.
-Try and get a filter for going into fermenter
-Use a grate to drain grain
-Try CaCl2, Gypsum, Epson Salt in bud light to see what I prefer
-Grind grain night before

Notes: Skibsøl er en gammel dansk ølstil, tradisjonelt brukt som proviant i den danske marinen. Den Store Danske beskriver det som følger: Skibsøl - overgæret, alkoholsvag, mørk dansk øltype. Den har en relativt kraftig humlesmag og bliver som de tidligste danske øltyper brygget på røgmalt

Had to make some changes due to lack of WY0156 and pale malt(!) at LHBS. So used Crisp Extra Pale Maris Otter as base malt, subbed WY1056 for WLP001

Made up two 1L starters ( on stirplates) 2 days ahead of brewday. Chilled, decanted and tasted starter wort before pitching (ended up using US05 in the end as the WLP001 starter smelled and tasted phenolic so I dumped it)

Friday 3rd June 2016 - Brewday

28L strike water adjusted with CaCl2, gypsum and 80% lactic acid. Mashed in at 70.5C for a mash temp of 66.7C (152F). Stirred the mash for 5 mins.

30 mins later - Stirred the mash for a couple of minutes. Mash temp = 66C. pH = 5.1(!)
Started to heat the mash after 50 mins for a mash out.
60 mins later - Stirred the mash for a couple of minutes. Mash temp = 65C. pH = 5.0(!).
Realised I had forgot to mash in the flaked oats(!). Added them to the mash after 60 mins with 3g of bicarbonate to try and rescue mash pH. Ended up being a 90 minute mash instead of 60 mins :(

Final mash pH 5.3.

Sparged with 4L 50C water.

OG a little high so diluted with cooled boiled water to 1.056.

Monday 13th June 2016 (Day 10) - CO2 transferred WY1318 beer from PET carboy to oxygen purged corny dry hop keg. Added 0.5 bar of pressure to the keg. Shook the keg rigorously and bubbled CO2 through the liquid post twice a day to encourage more efficient extraction.

Wednesday 15th June 2016 (Day 12) - CO2 transferred WY1318 beer from DH keg to serving keg using a jumper line. Cold crashed and added 40 psi pressure to the keg. FG = 1.016. pH = 4.38. 5.25% ABV.

Immediately cleaned and oxygen purged the DH keg and transferred in more hops and US05 beer. Repeated the same procedure as above (2 days dry hopping with agitation and capped CO2 bubbling).

Friday 17th June 2016 - CO2 transferred US05 beer to serving keg.

US05 beer has something not quite right about it, mix of diacetyl and chlorophenol (wondering if this is actually my beer lines?). Changed the line on the US05 beer and this did the job (note to self, clean those lines more often with line cleaner instead of just starsan and pbw).

Really lazy on collecting data for this beer as everyone was away on holiday (myself included). Beers tasted great and the kegs kicked before collecting enough data.

Notes: This is a scaled down (and slightly adapted) historical recipe, or as close as I can manage anyway.
I won't be drinking this for about 3 months..the real thing was aged in the barrel for a year.
Originally, it would have had an ibu of 177! But, it was then aged before bottling and shipped for a few months. Even so, I'm eager to taste this ale.
It is not possible for me to replicate malt, water, yeasy and brewing/storing equipment exactly, so this will be a very loose replica.
This recipe is adapted from one I saw on a website, which in turn was quoting from a book
'The homebrewers guide to vintage beer'　2014. The author of the article and, I presume, the book is Ronald Pattinson.
I have adapted it to an export-type by making it stronger and have given more weight to late hop additions. It will still have very high ibus.
I have reduced the the original hop additions (90,60,30) and added aroma and dry hop additions, but apart from that it is very similar. Even the yeast is based on the same strain, Whitbread. 11g of S04. According to the yeast calculator this is an over pitch by 17%. I am hoping that this will actually help dry the beer out too, bringing it closer to the target ale profile.
Export IPAs would have also been exposed to Brett in their extended journey in barrels. This would have made the beer highly attenuated and dry. I cannot replicate this, but have instead added sugar in the hope that it will have a drying effect.

Brew day notes: mash temp very low 61-64... Pot was almost at the brim. Boiling water poured in, heat applied but not v effective. Low temp actually may work to dry it out too. Dunk sparge with 2 litres 80c water.
Pre boil gravity adjusted 1.098! Very fermentable wort. 8 litres final volume at OG 1.064. Might lack body, but will be very dry and spot on ABV for historical IPA. Let's see.
Day 5 of Primary fermentation gravity is 1.010...This is going to be an interesting brew. Already above 7% abv, so bang on for historical export strength IPA. I over pitched the yeast, but happily achieved the attenuation described in the recipe article.
4 day dry hop of Kent Goldings.
Day14 still 1.010.All done bottle tomorrow.
FG sample didn't taste like a modern IPA, more like a non-citrus hoppy barley wine, but with more conditioning and carbonation who knows what it will turn out like? Always knew this would be an interesting brew...

Notes: put 1.6kg of cherries into 700ml of brandy

pipped cherries and blitze and added with 500ml brandy to fermenter
put beer into secondary with cherry stuff

bottled pre and post cherry addition and will bottle the rest after a week or so
worries about how to calculate the ABV, do we just do another number and add that to the initial percentage. I think so!

Notes: Use orange blossom honey and the zest of 1 medium-sized organic navel orange. Its easy to overdo the orange zest so go easy and let the orange blossom honey come through.
