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.

UK BARLEYWINE #2 NOTES

Water Modifications
CaSO4 - 10g
MgSO4 - 2g
Lactic acid - 4ml

Water requirements (no sparge)
- Water required = Target pre-boil vol. + (1.25* grain weight)
= 28 + (1.25 * 10.72)
= 28 + (13.4)
= 41.4L strike water

Strike water temp = 74-75 degC

Hops adjusted for No-chill:
- 60min addition in @ 40 min
- Flame Out in @ dry hop 5 days from end of fermentation (probably 3 weeks of primary at least).

Brew Day readings:
Pre-boil SG = 1.080
OG = 1.103

Notes: I add 5 gallons to the kettle and heat to 155-160. Then add the grain bag and stir in the grain as it is poured to lower the mash temp to 152 for 60 minutes.

At the end of the mash, heat to 170 degrees and cut the heat. Pour 1 gallon of strike water to 170 degrees over the grain bag once draining has slowed. (I begin to boil the wort while the bag drains to save time)

Add 6 diced Jalapeño at 10 minutes left in the boil. (Remove seeds for just flavor...leave seeds for more spice)

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

Vienna can be substituted for Mild malt.
