Notes: Updated from beer #5 to try and make a more balanced hop profile. Also added more flaked adjuncts to try and give a bit more body.

Notes: 4 liter starter. Decant the day of brewing and make a 500 mL starter just to wake the yeast up and dump it all into the fermenter.

Let it sit on the yeast cake for about three weeks before cold crashing for 5 days with gelatin.

Transfer to secondary after the cold crash and add whiskey soaked barrel chips or #3 char oak spirals.

Give it a taste after a couple of weeks and if it's good proceed to bottling with a pinch of CBC yeast in each bottle. Do not try to add the yeast into the bottling bucket, it does not typically make it into the bottles when you do that.

Notes: Fine crush recommended! Due to the heavy grain bill, recipe is for 2.75 gal so it can be made in a 10gal brew kettle using BIAB, and also have plenty of headspace in a 6.5 gal carboy for fermentation. Two 2.75 gal batches can be combined for a full 5.5 gal batch in a keg or secondary fermenter. Starting mash water should PH at 8 to achieve desired mash PH.

For Ghost Pepper Bourbon tincture, infuse 2oz of bourbon with 1 ghost pepper for 15 minutes, then remove pepper.

After primary fermentation, add adjuncts to secondary for 1 week before racking to keg or final vessel for another 1+ month of aging at 63 degrees.

Notes: This is a modern take on a Kvass (but since no BJCP style for that, and the fact that this bread has salt in it, listing it here as a Gose). Kvass would traditionally use old rye bread in the mash; I'm instead using three packages of Falu Råg-Rut Rye Crispbread (from Sweden) that is past its best-by date. Each package is 235g, so for three that would be about 705g total wt, but carbohydrates listed as about 60g per 100g serving, so 420g carbs is about 15 oz... entered in the recipe above as raw rye (for lack of better substitute). Planned recipe like that, but actually got much better efficiency (would’ve been 92%!) with those numbers, so by making it 25 oz - or approx full weight of bread, it calculates out to a more normal 80% efficiency... but also made it more of an Imperial Kvass or Gose!). Also, says 1.2g salt per 100g serving, so entered that in the water chem section as 8.4 g NaCl.

Add bread to entire mash volume of boiling water to cover (to gelatinize starches), mix up to break it down, and let it sit until it drops to mash strike temp, then add milled grain to hit mash temp. Then mash (no sparge) and boil normally from there. Use rice hulls if normal lauter... was very viscous! I BIAB, so normally don’t use rice hulls, but had an absorption rate of 0.15 gal/lb, vs my normal rate of 0.06-0.075.

It would traditionally be spontaneously fermented, and get just a slight sourness... so I'm using Philly Sour Lachancea (ferments and sours), and adding some crystal malt to offset sourness with some residual sweetness (could mash higher, too). Could also kettle sour, or even just use normal sacc yeast and add some lactic acid or lemon juice.

Notes: Full Disclosure: I like Drafty Kilt. It is not too sweet, not too chocolaty, not too bitter. Comes in at 7.2 ABV and is wonderfully malty. I went to Monday Night Brewing's website and they tell you what grains, what hops, and how many IBUs (26). I threw them in here and played about trying to get the numbers to work out.

Nottingham - 6.82% Middle ground

Variables: No idea how much Crystal or how dark. No idea about yeast strain. No idea percentages of grain. Color is 32 SRM

I added some components that are typical in a Scottish...
Chocolate Malt (Color), Roasted Barley (Flavor), Smoked Malt (Flavor). These additions nailed the color. I changed the yeast to Notty and that closed the gap on the ABV.

I want to give this one a brew. I'd LOVE to have this on tap!

Notes: Juicy, hazy, full mouthfeel, thick creamy head, and definitely tropical. Mine came out around 1.008 and about 6.5% abv. Not hoppy or juicy enough to be a new england, and I'd like to keep it that way. Only fermented for 12 days, as the OYL-200 made quick work out of all the sugar in 2 days. Kegged on a Tuesday and gone by that Friday. One of my new favorites.

Notes: Strike Water Volume=30L. Strike temp=66C. Mix tap water and RO water in 0:100 ratio (0L/30L). Add 7.5 grams of calcium sulfate, 5 grams of liquid calcium chloride, 1.5 grams of Epsom salt, and 4.5ml lactic acid. Mash ph estimated to 5.3. Chill boiled wort to 18C. Add 1.25L yeast starter (WLP590). Ferment @ 18.5C for 3 days, then bump to 21.5C. Brew day = July 18. OG = 1.056. Dry hops added July 27. FG = 1.007 on Aug 1, then cold crashed. Kegged on Aug 10 and prime with 140 grams of cane sugar (~2.8 volumes of Co2). ABV = 6.5.

Notes: Third variation on a classic English style I got to enjoy while stationed over there. Still hunting for the right flavors although the misses have been enjoyable for their own merits. Changes in this iteration are primarily in water chemistry. Boosting the gypsum levels higher than I do for other malt forward beers although staying short of the historical "Burton" water.

Notes: Brewed 12/05/2015.

Intended to bottle on 1/16/2016. The beer finished just above 1.020, but tastes very sweet. It's undrinkable like this; I can choke one down if I mix with something else. I racked it to a smaller carboy and added some amylase enzyme because I've been told that can restart a stuck fermentation, but I'm doubtful.

It did start fermenting again after adding the amylase. BTW, I think my LHBS ordered coffee malt for me instead of brown malt. That would explain why this beer is inky black.

1/20/2017: I just drank the last bottle of this. After aging for about a year it was really good, just served it a little colder than normal for this style to mask the sweetness (which has subsided.) I'm sad it's gone, and I will brew it again soon (using real brown malt next time, and fermenting a little warmer which T-58 likes so it attenuates better
