Notes: 2/2025 Batch 6 - 6 lbs frozen puree var Zara. 10 bags of hibiscus tea (Republic of Tea Hibiscus Superflower Tea in 2 cups boiling water).

11/2023 - Batch 4: Last time the amount of fruit was 4.5 lb in about 5 gallons, frozen, pureed with lots of pectinase added. Adding pectinase to the ingredients. Used about 1/3 of the bottle from BSG (28g total) or about 9-10 grams.

The first two batches, I tried to put in 10 lb, but it was a struggle to fit and made it quite difficult to work with. 5 lb or 1 lb/gallon seemed to work, but the berries I'm using are very flavorful. Regular store-bought ones would likely need more lbs/gallon or boosting with extract.
added pectinase, 1 oz/28g Barbe Rouge, and 5 lb strawberry puree (frozen + food processor) on day 5. Delay due to illness. I think 2 days would have been perfectly post-krausen.

3/2023
Sticking with Barbe Rouge. Newest batch is smaller, putting 5 lbs/5 gallons. This was possibly the best batch I've made.

Substituting lots of things to try out a new yeast (sundew) and hops (HBC 630). Tried Zamba as dry hop and worked. Shifting to Barbe Rouge to accent red fruit.

Added hibiscus tea to attempt 2 (Zamba) to give a more acidic note and also a little bit more color. Turned out very nicely.

Original Authors notes:
This has been my go to ale recipe for years. It is light, flavorful, and loved by everyone who pulls a pint. You could dry it out a bit by adding a pound of suar or maze in the boil, but it stands well on its own.I brew it at least once a month. I never shared it until now as a friend of mine entered it into a local comp and won 1st overall.
Add a little gypsum to get mash ph to 5.5

let it ferment for 14 days and keg to 3vol.

Initial brew in 2019 without lemon zest or lactose and was very nice. Blueberries from Trader Joe's ("wild" Canadian). Added to fermentor frozen, but this only made the beer pink instead of purple like original and Modified versions.

2020 Changes. Reconfiguring the water additions a little bit. I will add zest of 2 lemons in late boil. I plan on cooking 1/2 of the blueberries (2 of 5 lbs) until better broken down and blending the remaining 3 lbs frozen in a sanitized food processor. Also, swapping out S04 for Ringwood as I heard good things on the escarpment webinar about the esters it produces. I'll oxygenate it well after pitching and ferment mostly open. Diacetyl rest because ringwood is a butter bomb (which I think will work ok here to have some residual "butter").

Copied this recipe and tweaked it a lot to accommodate philly sour. Added in dextrose for making acidity and then after a few days I will add the London yeast for english yeast character after a few days with the dry hop and fruit. Took out the maltodextrin and added back some of the lactose the original recipe had on Wesbrews.

Notes: More specific Dark Mild recipe than Scott Mild which was midway between Scottish ale and Mild.

Vienna can be substituted for Mild malt.

Notes: Note to all - this is an attempt at a CASKED type ale. It might work as bottled beer, it might not. It is EXPERIMENTAL.

This is an English Strong Bitter (old style cask ale taste profile) a Golden Strong Bitter with a Cask Malt flavor. Originally made by Sam Smith Brewery, one of my favorite UK Breweries.

Mash in with all grains at 140 initially, raising the temperature while stirring to 151 to hold for 90 minutes. Batch sparge with an additional 12 quarts of water to collect 6 gallons of sweet wort.

Bring the wort to a boil and add the hops. (Yes, this is in the recipe, but I initially tried the calculator at 30 minutes and I had a more sedate 43 IBUs. Thought about splitting it at 45 minutes...but it does have raw brown sugar introduced 7 days before bottling or kegging - this should provide a kind of "casked" taste as the yeast should re-ferment. Yeah - this can be a disaster...wondering if I might make a tiny little batch and see what happens if I secondary it in a minikeg - no gas, pinch of yeast - like you would for a REAL cask. I think I would need a spunding valve to offgas the excess CO2.)

The recipe calls to add the molasses and sugar, dissolved in a little wort, added "during the boil". I wouldn't add it until 15 minutes prior to the end, so it has less of a chance to scorch and burn. At the same time, add the whirlfloc tablet and yeast nutrient.

The modifications so far.
Recipe was for 20 quarts - I needed 5.5 in the fermentor so I can guarantee 5 gallons in the keg. So I raised the fermentables to:

7 lbs of 2 row from 5 lbs
12 ozs of Torrified Barley from 8 oz
10 ozs of light crystal from 6 oz

Used Windsor instead of "Brewer's Yeast" - suited the final gravity

Messed around with the hop schedule - if you put them all in for 90 minutes, you get 60+ IBUs which is way out of character for a strong bitter - 50 IBUs is about tops. So I changed the Fuggles to 2 oz from 2.5 after I made the fuggles go in at 60 minutes and the Goldings at 30. That gets you to 48 IBUs.

Notes: At the bottom is supposedly the original "north star" homebrew recipe from which sculpin IPA was based on.
Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_11Yn7V9UM
for a little video at Ballast point.

If you want to use dry malt extract then login to this recipe at http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/236441/sculpin-clone
and adjust the fermentables. (and get rid the of the dextrose).

Aim for 1.067 OG and 80+ IBUs and 7% ABV.
I've substituted Hallertau NZ (wakatu) for the Hallertau Northern Brewer in the recipe below.

White Labs WLP001 is the yeast to use.
(I'm too cheap to buy it and it's too old by the time it gets to NZ)

In the video you see the amarillo added to the whirlpooling wort after flameout.
I'm going to boil it for a minute but you might want to add it after flameout and let the wort sit (covered) for 15 mins, (give it a stir to "whirlpool" it a bit).
I'll also do the wort in 2 batches as I only have a 15L stock pot.
(1st batch with all the steeped grains)
Will add the dextrose when aerating the wort, not in the boil.

Mash at 150 for 90 minutes. Boil for 75 minutes.
